Instruction Manual PowEr ExpAndEr srs
Dear customer, we’re delighted that you have chosen the PowerExpander SRS from our range of products. We hope you have great pleasure and success with this accessory! 1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The PowerExpander SRS makes it possible to exploit all the channels provided by your radio control system when using small but highly-specified receivers. Safety is also significantly enhanced, because two receivers can be connected to the PowerExpander SRS.
2. CONNECTING THE VARIOUS RADIO CONTROL SYSTEMS Most types of receiver require intervention to activate the bus output or set the correct operating mode. By default the PowerExpander SRS is set up for P²BUS. If you intend to use a different radio control system, you can change the setting using the PowerBox USB Interface Adapter in conjunction with the PowerBox Terminal program, which is available free of charge. USB adapters made by Jeti or Multiplex can also be used. www.powerbox-systems.
a) PowerBox P²BUS Connect a receiver to the P²BUS output on RX1 and RX2. b) Futaba FASST and FASSTEST The PowerExpander SRS works with the S-BUS signal. Many receivers require one output to be re-assigned to S-BUS: - R7003SB: no adjustment necessary; signal present at “PORT 1”. - R7008SB: output 8 must be set to S-BUS, Mode B or Mode D. - R6303SB: no adjustment necessary; direct S-BUS output fitted - R6308SB(T): output 8 must be set to S-BUS, Mode B or Mode D.
- UDI: this setting retains the telemetry function at the EXT output; the R-SAT is connected to PPM out and the PowerExpander SRS. Disadvantage of UDI: only twelve channels available - EX: all sixteen channels available. Disadvantage of EX: the signal is present at the EXT socket; at present no further telemetry equipment can be connected (unless a third R-Sat is installed).
4. FAILSAFE AND HOLD Failsafe / Hold can be adjusted using the RC system transmitter, but also using the free PowerBox Terminal program and the USB lead, or the Mobile App and the BlueCom Adapter. - Hold: if signal loss occurs at the receiver, the servos remain in the last known position. -F ailsafe: if signal loss occurs at the receiver, the servos run to the position previously set by the user.
