Functions:
This a linear voltage regulator BEC system with built-in
highly efficient smart glow plug driver. The system
provides stable power to receivers and servos,with user
programmable 5.9 or 7.2V output. It uses the smart
method to replace the traditional glow engine igniter.
The linear voltage regulator can output 5Amps current
constantly, pulsed overload current can reach 20Amps.
compared to switch mode regulator, the linear regulator
has no ripple and no EMI interference to other devices
such as receiver or GPS, it is especially suitable for big
size models, Scale RC planes, 3D helicopters and UAV.
The built-in glow plug driver can be triggered manually
and through transmitter remotely, the output cables
connecting to receiver can be power supply and accept the
control signals at same time.
Usage:
Power On: Press the check button until all LEDs light up,
and then short press once, all LED will be on for about 3
seconds, BEC starts working.
Shut Off: Shut off operate same as Power On ,but all LED
lights blinks 3 times and then go out, BEC output turns
off, after that, the white LED light will blink every 5
seconds, it reminds user to disconnect the battery after
use.
Output voltage programming: Press the check button first,
and then connect the battery, release the button and power
on the device in normal way, you can toggle 5.9V or 7.2V
output according to your request, the LED light will
display the present output voltage when it starts.
Manual trigger ignition: Under the power On status, short
press the button, red LED blinks, after 5 seconds delay,
the glow driver is triggered, glow driver will be turned
off automatically after 30 seconds.
Remote control triggered ignition : Plug the signal cable
of BEC into a free channel port on the receiver, you can
control and starts up and close down the glow plug driver
through a transmitter, under this case, you can employ a
3 POS switch on transmitter to activate the glow driver
to full or half power output. Full power mode,is for
engine starting, half power mode, keeps stable RPM at
idle, also can save battery power, and prolong the service
life of glow plug.
If the signal pulse width is below 1.4ms, the glow driver
will turn off. If pulse width is more than 1.4ms but less
than 1.6mm, the glow driver will stay at half power. If
pulse width is above 1.6 ms, it will go to full power. It
can be used with either 2 or 3 position switches. When
the device enters full power mode, it enters half power
mode after 30 seconds working automatically, if it is
triggered repeatedly, time counting will start again, the
working time won’t last over 5 minutes under half power
mode, it will shut off automatically when time out, in
this case, even if user forget to turn off the switch by
accident, the battery would not be exhausted.
LED status
White LED flashes slowly(blinks every 5 seconds)
indicates the Battery is connected but on shut-off status.
White LED is on constantly, indicates BEC has already
been turned on, output voltage is 5.9V.
White and green LED is both on constantly, it indicates
BEC has already been turned on, output is 7.2V.
Green LED blinks, indicates the voltage of the battery is
below 7.9V; White and green LED blinks at the same
time, it indicates the voltage of the battery is below 7.4V.
Red LED blinks, indicating the glow plug driver is on
time delay trigger status.
Red LED is on constantly, indicating the glow plug
driver is on trigger status, the blue LED should be on
constantly at same time.
Red LED is on constantly and blue LED is off,
indicating the glow plug is damaged or it gets connection
problem; if the blue LED blinks, it indicates the glow
plug is short circuit, please check the connection.
