The regulator has proved particularly useful in small to
medium-sized fixed-wing model aircraft and helicopters,
and for ignition systems. lt can also be used to reduce the
voltage to individual servos or other RC system compo-
nents.
The signal wire is looped through the regulator, enabling
the unit to be used to power individual servos at a reduced
voltage. This arrangement is primarily of interest where
the main RC system power supply is designed for HV ser-
vos (7.4 V), but where one or two servos are not approved
for use at the higher voltage. In this case the non-HV ser-
vos can be plugged into the voltage regulator and used
in the normal way. These are often tail rotor servos or
electronic components such as lighting units, valves etc.,
which must be operated at a lower voltage than the other
parts cf the receiving system. The unit can be connected
using a Uni, JR or Futaba connector. Caution! Connecting
the battery plug offset to one side will instantly ruin the
regulator.
The JR lead attached to the voltage regulator can be
plugged directly into the receiver socket.
If you wish to use a switch in the receiving system power
supply circuit, we recommend that you fit it between the
voltage regulator and the battery.
