Read the instructions before use
Use only for the intended range of applications (
3.)
Power supplies must of adequate capacity (
7.4)
Observe the installation notes (
6.)
Keep to the following sequence when switching on:
First switch transmitter ON, then switch receiver ON.
First switch receiver OFF, then switch transmitter OFF.
Disconnect the battery or batteries (
11.)
Disconnect the battery or batteries from the SAFETY-
SWITCH LiPo (TwinBatt) if you do not intend to use the
model for a protracted period.
These devices must never be connected to a mains PSU!

PPLICATIONS
The SAFETY-SWITCH LiPo and SAFETY-SWITCH LiPo
TwinBatt are ultra-modern electronic switch harnesses / power
supply systems. They are intended exclusively for use in model-
ling applications.
It is prohibited to use these devices for applications such as
man-carrying aircraft or industrial equipment.

EATURES
SAFETY-SWITCH LiPo and SAFETY-SWITCH LiPo TwinBatt:
• Electronic switch harnesses.
• Much more robust than conventional mechanical switches,
as they are not susceptible to vibration, wear or contact cor-
rosion problems.
• Extremely rugged plastic housing, large heat-sink for voltage
regulator, high-flex connecting leads.
• Power supply for servos and receiver optionally from 2S LiPo
or 5-cell NiXX battery.
• Linear IC-controlled stabilisation generates a stabilised out-
put voltage of 5.5 V, corresponding to a fully-charged four-
cell NiXX battery. This ensures that the servos operate at
constant speed and torque over the full period of operation -
an important requirement for high-quality aerobatics.
• Battery connection via encapsulated MPX high-current con-
nectors (M6 system).
• Two receiver connecting leads (UNI system) for maximum
possible security, with double conductor cross-section and
twice the number of electrical contacts.
• Three-colour LEDs provide constant visual four-stage indi-
cation of receiver battery voltage.
• Simple, carefully thought-out power-on procedure: an inter-
nal program ensures completely secure switching processes;
it is impossible to switch the harness on or off accidentally.
The SAFETY-SWITCH LiPo TwinBatt also offers:
• High-performance integral battery backer, permitting the use
of two receiver batteries ( 9.2.4).
• One sensor button for each power circuit, with security but-
ton. Each power circuit can be switched on and checked in-
dividually.
• Two linear voltage regulators - one for each battery input.
• Two electronic switches - one for each power circuit.
• Two voltage monitors for monitoring the two batteries.
• Two three-colour LEDs for four-stage display of the voltage
of both batteries.
• Two minimum value (low voltage) memories, can be read out
separately for each battery.
