Information on Main Screen

When the Cockpit is powered on, the following main screen will appear with the

following information:
Graphic voltage indicator

The graphic voltage indicator provides the batteries’ state of charges. This

display is only correct for the current type of battery selected. If the connected

battery is fully charged, the charge bar will extend to the top of the voltage indicator

box. If the bar only fills the bottom third of the box, the corresponding battery is

almost discharged. This indicator is supplemented by the residual capacity display.
Graphic display of the minimum voltage value

This displays the minimum voltage for the battery type selected. If the voltage is

below this mark, the batteries must be charged.
Operating Time

This displays the elapsed time since the last RESET of the battery capacity as

described above. It is important to perform a RESET each time the batteries are

charged.
Graphic Indicator of the battery charge state

This displays the battery charge remaining. Assuming the battery is of good

quality, if the bar reaches the halfway point, then the battery is halfway depleted.
Digital voltage display

This displays the voltage of the battery in a numerical format.
Output voltage

This displays the Cockpit’s output voltage to the servos.
Residual battery capacity

Assuming that you have previously set the battery type correctly and have

performed a RESET of the capacity of the battery after charging , this displays the

momentary capacity value of the battery. Keep in mind, however, that aging effects

and defective batteries may falsify this value. Residual capacities shown on the

screen may appear different during battery discharge. This may be due to small and

unavoidable differences in discharge rates between voltage regulators matched at

the factory. In practice, if the remaining capacity appears to be high but the voltage

is low, immediately check the battery for problems.
