Applications Important
The PowerSafe main unit is not a receiver. The PowerSafe’s main unit is a power distribution center that provides up to 35-amps continuous and
50-amps peak current to power your system. Through extensive testing our engineers discovered that mounting the receiver in the typical location in
sophisticated aircraft (an aircraft with many high-current draw servos and/or conductive materials), at the end of the servo and battery leads, is not
the optimum location to provide the clearest RF signal. The AR12100 PowerSafe uses up to four (a minimum of three are required) remotely mounted
receivers that can be optimally placed in your aircraft providing the best possible RF link in the most demanding conditions.

Features
Spektrum’s AR12100 PowerSafe ™ offers the ultimate solution for powering
high-current draw radio systems. In aircraft with multiple high-current
draw servos (e.g. giant-scale aircraft, jets, etc.), the AR12100 PowerSafe
can provide peak current of up to 50 amps and offers true dual battery
redundancy and a fail-on soft switch for the ultimate in reliability. By
locating up to four remote receivers throughout the aircraft, the RF link can
be optimized in even the most demanding aircraft installations that have
significant conductive materials like carbon, stainless steel bypass tubes,
tuned exhausts, etc. For models high in carbon fiber content the SPM9546
Carbon Fiber Remote Receiver is compatible with the AR12100.
• True dual battery redundancy—each battery is isolated and if one
fails/shorts the other takes over.
• Utilizes up to four remote receivers for the ultimate RF link in even
the most demanding applications.
• Up to 35 amps continuous and 50 amps peak current
handling capability
• Fail-on soft switch in case the switch is damaged
• Two types of failsafe - SmartSafe (throttle only) and preset failsafe
(all servos)
• QuickConnect - if a power interruption (brownout) occurs, the system
reconnects in less than 1/2 second
• Flight Log compatible
• Heavy 16AWG dual battery leads with pre-wired E-flite ® EC3
connectors
• Compatible with all Spektrum ™ and JR ® full range radio and
module systems
• 2048 resolution
