Connecting the batteries
Ideally the two batteries connected to the Pioneer should be of the same type and
capacity. It is essential to maintain correct polarity. It is also possible to connect
batteries of different capacity, but this always results in a more severe load on the
larger battery. The basic rule is that each battery should be of a size capable of
securely supplying power to the model on its own.
Connecting the switch
Plug the switch into the appropriate socket. As an option, the Pioneer is supplied
with a button switch or a MicroMag magnetic switch.
The method of operating the button switch is the same for all PowerBox systems:
press the button until the LED starts to ash green at a high rate. Release the
button for a moment, then press the button again briey: the LED now lights up
solid green to indicate that it is switched on. Repeat the procedure when switching
off.
Using the MicroMag switch: hold the magnet against the switch until the Pioneer
is switched on. The LED lights up blue as soon as a magnet is detected, then
changes to red to indicate the end of the switching process. After this the LED
lights solid green to indicate that the system is switched on.
Connecting an iGyro SAT
If you wish to exploit the Pioneer’s gyro functionality by tting an iGyro SAT, it is
essential to install the unit at the correct angle in the model.
