Power management
Power
• Use the drop-down list box Power/Mode to select the desired power source for the
receiver:
Auto – receiver will automatically select the power source
Mix – receiver will automatically detect and start consuming power from the source
with the highest voltage
Battery A – receiver will consume power from battery A
Battery B – receiver will consume power from battery B
External – an external power supply will be used.
This setting is associated with the receiver parameter /par/pwr/mode.
• The indicator Current Mode shows what power source is being used at the mo-
ment. This setting is associated with the receiver parameter /par/pwr/curmode.
Charger
• Use the drop-down list box Charger/Mode to select the battery charging mode:
Off – receiver will not charge the batteries
Charge A – receiver will charge only battery A
Charge B – receiver will charge only battery B
Auto – receiver will automatically detect and charge the detected batteries.
This setting is associated with the receiver parameter /par/pwr/charge/bat.
• Use the Speed list box to set the desired speed of battery charge cycle. You can se-
lect between Normal and Fast dc levels. The corresponding receiver parameter is
/par/pwr/charge/speed.
• The flag Current Mode shows which of the batteries, a, b or none (off) is being
charged at the moment. The corresponding receiver parameter is /par/pwr/charge/curbat.
Voltages
• The indicator External shows the external power supply’s voltage. The correspond-
ing receiver parameter is /par/pwr/ext.
• The indicator On Board shows what is the actual voltage drawn by the receiver
board. The corresponding receiver parameter is /par/pwr/board.
• The indicators Battery A and Battery B show the voltage on batteries A and B,
respectively. The corresponding receiver parameters are /par/pwr/bat/a and /par/pwr/bat/b.
• The indicator Charger shows the charger’s output voltage during battery charging.
The corresponding receiver parameter is /par/pwr/charger.
