Power Box Wiring

The DigiSwitch is an excellent choice for any application where there is no space for mechanical switches and heavy batteries. In conjunction with modern LiPo or LiFePo battery technology, the DigiSwitch represents an effective weight-saving measure, and also provides additional security with its integral voltage monitor and electronic switch, which is both totally reliable and vibration-resistant.

The on / off switching process is initiated by pressing the push-button twice. The micro-controller monitors the sequence, and turns the electronic switch on or off if the procedure is valid. This eliminates any danger of operating the switch accidentally, and produces a connection which is resistant to vibration.

The switch is a latching type, i.e. it stores the last switched state. This means that the system always remains switched on even if there is a brief interruption in the circuit at the battery end.

A further safety feature of the DigiSwitch is the integral voltage monitor: the tri-colour LED indicates the battery's state of charge in three stages. The voltage monitor can be set to suit all commonly used battery types: 2S LiPo, 2S LiFePo, 5S NiMH or 4S NiMH.

The DigiSwitch reduces the input voltage to 5.9V (optionally 5.3V), and therefore supplies the correct voltage for standard 6.0V servos.

Two different connector systems are available at the battery end: Uni or MPX types. The MPX version is supplied as standard with two receiver connecting leads.

Voltage Regulator, linear Systems formerly powered by NiMH batteries can now be converted easily to LiPo or LiFePo batteries using the PowerBox voltage regulator.

Operating voltage: 4.0V - 9.0V
Maximum load current: max. 5A
Drop-out voltage: 0.14V
Output voltage: 5.3V / 5.9V
Weight: 9.5g
Temperature range: -30?C to +75?C

Systems formerly powered by NiMH batteries can now be converted easily to LiPo or LiFePo batteries using the PowerBox voltage regulator. This represents the ideal solution for small power models, gliders, helicopters and also ignition systems, as it enables the modeller to exploit all the advantages of modern battery types.

The PowerBox PIK range of connectors exploits modern Hot-Melt technology to combine proven connector systems used in modelling applications.
All the joints in our cables are soldered on our premises, and subsequently checked by a second staff member for correct polarity and quality of workmanship. The connector is then placed in a specially made injection-moulding tool, in which it is encapsulated with a special plastic at a temperature of 220?C and a pressure of 10 bar.
This process permanently seals the soldered joints as well as acting as a strain relief. Neither mechanical stress nor environmental influences - such as damp or heat - can have any adverse effect on this connection. The plastic we use is resistant to vibration, oxidation, acids, alkalis and fuels, and is temperature-resistant from -30?C to +90?C.
The cables we supply include types with different conductor cross-sections, adapters, charge leads and three-core servo leads. Cables with a cross-sectional area of up to 1.0 mm? have PVC insulation, while the 1.5 mm? and 2.5 mm? types feature silicone insulation.
We are anxious to protect you, our customers, from plagiarists, and for this reason we have registered the design and other quality characteristics of these products in the Design Register of the Deutsches Patent- und Markenamt (German Patent and Brand Office).
