Jetronic-BOX HV Instructions 2.1
Introduction
The Jetronic-BOX HV is a universal R/C controller for use in medium-sized and large model
aircraft Two R/C inputs can be programmed to control up to four R/C outputs, for example to
implement a landing gear with door control or a cockpit with open/close and lock functions, where
even an R/C transmitter with microprocessor control is not sufficient Since such model functions
are often realised using pneumatic systems with an air tank and a pneumatic cylinder, the Jetronic
-BOX HV also features an air pressure measurement and display function as well as the
corresponding adjustable pressure failsave function
To read the current operating data and to adjust settings, a suitable display and programming unit
(Engine Data Terminal) is required The following devices are supported:
Jetronic-Display EDT, no : 8830
Micro-EDT, no : 8832
Graupner BOOSTER-EDT no : 6813 10
Graupner ONBOARD-EDT no : 6813 7
These units are equipped with an illuminated alphanumeric display and can be connected and
disconnected while the system is running, or they can be permanently installed in the model
(ONBOARD-EDT)
Besides the current operating parameters, such as the battery voltage, it is also possible to display
additional information, such as air pressure or R/C inputs and outputs All display and adjustment
functions are accessible via a menu-controlled plain text dialog The JETRONIC-BOX is connected
to the R/C receiver via RC-1 normally, but RC-2 can be used as well (additional function)
Using a USB cable (type Jetronic-SIO2USB), the JETRONIC-BOX can be updated via the Internet,
making it possible to install new functions or extensions To do so, use the JetLog PC software
shipped with the Jetronic-SIO2USB cable
This makes the JETRONIC-BOX suitable for future model projects, too – for example, flashing
position lights, warning lights or special control functions are possible

Jetronic Display EDT (Engine Data Terminal)
EDT-LEFT and EDT-RIGHT are configurable function displays for operating parameters In the
BOX-SETUP menu, you can choose what should be displayed in the LEFT and RIGHT areas
In the BOX-SETUP menu under 12:EDT→LEFT and 13:EDT→RIGHT, you can choose either to
display one of the R/C ports (RC1 to RC5) or an air pressure value [bar or psi]
In the lower line of the display, the voltage of the receiver system is shown as a bar graph that also
has a memory function for the minimum value (voltage under load) The measurement range can
be adapted to the battery type used in the BOX-SETUP menu under 10:R/C-BATTERY

OFF: The output is switched off and disabled
RC1-DIRECT for gears and doors that remain open (bistable function)
The remote control signal OFF/ON at the RC1 input switches the output between
the positions IN (retracted)=34:RC3-LOW and OUT (extended)=
36:RC3-HIGH
RC1-TRIGGER for doors that close again automatically (monostable function) An OFF→ON
change of the remote control signal at the RC1 input switches the output to the
position 36:RC3-HIGH for the times specified with 31:RC3-WAIT-OUT (RC1=ON)
An ON→OFF change of the remote control signal at the RC1 input switches the
output to the position 36:RC3-HIGH for the times specified with 32:RC3-WAIT-IN
(RC1=OFF) After this time, the output returns to the position 34:RC3-LOW
RC1-TRIGGER-LOOP (switchable endlessloop)
This function toggles the servo at RC3/4/5 automatically, as long as RC1 input is
switched All settings 31 – 38 can be used to adjust
The value 37:DELAY must always be equal or higher as the time for the end-
positions 31 and 32
RC1-DIR.&POS. works like RC1-DIRECT, but is logical AND'ed with the retracts position-switch
For this 22:RC2-MODE must be set to POS -SWITCH
RC1-TRIG.&POS. works like RC1-TRIGGER, but is logical AND'ed with the retracts position-
switch For this 22:RC2-MODE must be set to POS -SWITCH
RC1-PROP: The output follows the remote control signal at the RC1 input proportional
All settings 31 – 38 can be used to adjust
