I have run Futaba solely for twenty years ,their systems are always reliable and well engineered imo .Their sbus and telemetry are brilliant as is this redundancy system .
Just bought one of these i have a query? You said in the video that you only need the soft switch do you not put independent switches on the batteries as normal for charging and turning on or off the batteries before turning on/off the system. Thank you. Atb from the UK 🇬🇧
No need for more switches. Just plug the batteries directly into the unit and the single switch will handle it all. You can remove the batteries and charge on the work bench or charge in place if you have long enough charging leads. You can install more switches if that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy....but it's not necessary. Thanx for the question 👍
Futaba recevets have a common positive Rail and negative so if your power is connected up to the receiver there is no power loss to any servo all positive pens or paralleled so run high quality switch or two to reduce voltage drop from battery to recever as redundancy. I run giant scale aerobatic electric powered with futaba equipment using one receiver One battery driving 7to8 400 Oz servos at 6 volts no regulator,direct voltage.. .
Depends on space. If it's a big plane the 2 larger Batts like 4500mah wouldn't be a problem. If space is a problem or your concerned with excess weight then go smaller. Just remember, heavier plane = heavier wing loading.
Since I haven't made a video covering that, it would be hard to cover here. BUT, here is a link to Chads video and he covers it a little on his 32MZ, which the set up is similar. You have to run both receivers in S-Bus2 mode and connect to the DLPH-1 through the S-Bus2 ports. Watch this video. Fast forward to 12:30 for the telemetry setup. Hope this helps. Thanks for the question!! PS. Show Chad some luv with that like button ;) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VI2kaYFeXNY.htmlsi=6EtbSItqPNC__Mpj
Would this system avoid frying the receivers on a 11 hv high torque servos 40%er 3d plane ?or would powerbox distribution box be better for that? Thanks!!
It has an operating voltage of 6.4-13 volts. It has a select switch on the side for 6.4, 7.6, & 11.4 volts. I have seen this system run in larger scale aircraft with no problems. If you have a high demand servo system and your more comfy with Power box, then by all means, go with what you have confidence with. Thanx for the question 👍
my main concern is to ensure the rx's are not fried by the 11 HV high torque (900) servos. unfamiliar w Powerbox. this unit should suffice right ? since the current from the servos dont go to the rx's ?!
As for the current going back to the RX's, no that is not a problem. Whatever voltage you set the switch to on the side, you need to make sure the servos AND receivers are rated for that voltage or you will be smelling smoke 😁
Sorry for the late reply. I would always run ignition power separate just to make sure it doesn't back feed any interference into your system. I use the RCExcl optical kill switch as a switch to turn on the ignition from the transmitter. It's optical so it won't back feed electrical noise. Hope this helps and thanks for the comment.
There are 18 slots in the DLPH-1 that can be used as necessary. When you use S-Bus, the amount of servos you can use is only limited to the amount of channels on your transmitter. Just plug receivers into DLPH-1 by S-Bus cables and program each servo to it's respective channel with the transmitter.
