PowerBox-Systems − World Leaders in RC Power Supply Systems
1. INSTALLATION, CONNECTIONS
In order to minimise the Pioneer’s physical size the case does not feature moun-
ting lugs; the unit is simply installed using the self-adhesive pad supplied. This
mounting method is extremely secure since the unit is so light and compact.
The Pioneer can be used with three types of radio control system: PowerBox CORE
P²BUS, Futaba S.BUS2, Jeti EX-BUS and Spektrum SRXL2. These four systems
share one common attribute: servo signals and telemetry data are carried on a
single bus cable. This eliminates the need for a second patch lead for telemetry
data, as required with older systems.
The Pioneer automatically detects the system to which it is connected – the rst
time you plug it in, it may take a few seconds until it unambiguously recognises
the system. However, the system type is stored once detected, and the unit sub-
sequently starts without delay the next time it is switched on. This means that the
basic system is Plug ‘n’ Play, and no further adjustments are required to operate it.
This does not apply if an iGyro SAT is installed, or if you wish to change the frame
rate or the capacity reset channel.
Users of CORE and Jeti systems have the facility to carry out all adjustments at the
transmitter. The alternative - which must be used by Futaba/Spektrum pilots - is to
use a USB lead or BlueCom™ Adapter. In this case all set-up work can be carried
out using the associated App.
