INSTALLATION AND TESTS
1 / INSTALLATION
 POWER CORDS
YourLVR6Aisequippedwithuniversalpowerconnectors.However,itispossibletoreplacetheseconnectorswithothermodelstosuityour
setup.Inthiscase,werecommendcuttingflushoriginalconnectorsandtosolderyourownconnectorsinstrictcompliancewiththepolarity(red=
positive/blackwire
=Negative)
 FITTING IT ON BOARD
AlthoughyourLVR6Adonotgenerateinterferencethatmaydisruptreceptiononboardthemodel,werecommendyoufollowsomecommon
senserules:avoidinstallingLVR6Aneartheantennawire,anddonotplaceitinimmediatecontactwiththereceiver.Asalreadystated,yourLVR
6Amustbeprovidedwithadequatecooling.Werecommendthatyoucreateaspacearoundtheunit.Afreshaircirculationwithinthefuselage
mustbecreated,particularlyattheradiator(locatedunderthelabel).Thiswillremovethedissipatedheat.
2 / TESTS
IfyourmodeliselectricandyourcontrollerhasanintegratedBE,youmustdisableitbeforeconnectingyourreceivertotheLVR6A.Todo
this,simplyremovethecenterpinoftheservoconnectorofthecontroller,andinsulateitbyasectionofheatshrinksleeve.If
thisprecautionis
nottaken,youmaydestroythecontrollerand/orLVR6A.

3 / IMPORTANT NOTES
NeverleavethebatteryconnectedtotheLVR6AortheESCoveralongperiod.Inthesecircumstances,theLVR6Aandthecontroller
continuestoconsumecurrentthat,overtime,canfullydischargethebattery.Therefore,werecommendthatconnectthebatteryjustbeforeusing
themodel,thendisconnectthebatteryimmediatelyafteruse.
IfyourcontrollerhasanintegratedcircuitBEC,itisnecessarytodisableitbeforeconnectingyourreceivertotheLVR6A.Todothis,simply
removethecenterpinoftheservoconnectorofthecontroller,andinsulateitbyasectionofheatshrinksleeve.Ifthisprecautionisnottaken,you
maydestroythecontrollerand/orLVR6A.
TheLVR6Ahasacurrentcapacitywhichdoesnotdependonthebatteryvoltage.However,itisessentialtoverifythatthetotalcurrent
consumedbytheservosunderloaddoesnotexceedthecurrentcapacityindicatedinthetableabove.
Whenthemoduledeliversmaximumcurrentindicated,thenominaloutputvoltageissatisfiedonlyifthebatteryvoltageisgreaterthanthe
valueindicatedinthetableabove.Belowthisvoltage,themodulewilldeliveravoltageslightlylower.
 Donotreverseinputpolarity(destructionnotcoveredbythewarranty).
 Alwaysusegoldconnectorsofgoodquality.
 Makeasystematicrangetestatasafedistancebeforeeachflight,withandwithoutmotors.
 ItisnormalthattheLVR6Agetslightlywarmafterprolongeduse.Also,itisessentialtokeepitcooled,justliketheESC.Anybreach
ofthisrulewillresultinlossofwarranty.
