3. INSTALLATION
Please do not throw away the inner packaging immediately, as it includes a tem-
plate for marking the switch aperture.
Even though our product is very well protected from the effects of vibration, the
switch should always be mounted in a part of the model relatively low in vibration.
Please note that the GRP fuselage sides of a large power model are not suitable,
as they are always subject to considerable vibration. You can remedy the situation
by cutting a ply plate (2 - 3 mm thick) about 3 cm larger than the switch aperture,
and gluing it in the appropriate place. The plate damps the vibration, and at the
same time provides plenty of “meat” for the switch retaining screws to bite into.
4. BATTERY TYPES
It is possible to use NiCd / NiMh batteries as well as LiPo / LiFePo batteries.
It is only permissible to connect LiPo cells directly to the receiving system or
the PowerBox 12 battery backer if all the electronic components, including the
receiver and servos, are approved for use with a voltage of up to 8.4 Volt! If you
need to bring down the voltage of a 2S LiPo to a normal value of 6.0 Volt then you
need to use a voltage reducer; we recommend our linear voltage regulator for
this purpose. It is simply connected between the receiver and the PowerBox 12.
Two of these voltage regulators are required.
