Switch Harness - FUTABA T18SZ Instruction Manual

Switch harness

This switch ESW-1J connects a Futaba receiver to a battery and is turned on and off in an FET circuit.
Compared to using a mechanical switch, it allows more current to be sent with less loss.
Battery

Switch cover
When the switch is OFF there
is a small amount of current
flowing through it. This will
damage the battery and or
switch so please disconnect
the battery when not being
used for long periods of time.
Precautions
WARNNG
When the model is not being used, always remove
or disconnect the battery.
■ When the switch is off, a slight amount of
current still flows. Unless the switch and battery
are disconnected, the battery will be damaged
from excessive discharge.
Always make sure that the switch harness is firmly
attached to the fuselage of the model.
■ There is the danger of loss of control and
crashing if the connector is disconnected by
vibration and shock.
Do not charge the receiver battery through the
switch harness. Disconnect the receiver battery
and charge to the manufactures instructions.
■ There is no charge connector in this switch.
Never reverse the battery polarity.
■ Reverse connection will immediately destroy
the receiver, servo, etc.

switch and charge to the
manufacturers directions.
Use the mounting plate from the receiver on/
off switch as a template for the cutout and screw
holes. Mount the switch on the side of the fuselage
opposite the engine exhaust, and where it won't
be inadvertently turned on or off during handling
or storage. Be certain the switch moves without
restriction and "snaps" from ON to OFF, and that
the cutout allows full motion of the switch in both
directions.
D i s c o n n e c t
Ensure that the unit is mounted in an area that will
eliminate exposure to fuel, water and vibration.
■ As with any electronic components, proper
precautions are urged to prolong the life and
increase the performance of the ESW-1J.
Allow a slight amount of slack in the cables and
fasten them at a suitable location to prevent any
damage from vibration during flight.
Never solder the ESW-1J or attempt to repair,
deform, modify or disassemble them.
Do not use the ESW-1J with anything other than an
R/C model.
Futaba Corp. will not be responsible for damage
caused by combination with other than genuine
Futaba parts.
Receiver
The receiver power supply
can be connected to any
port.
