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-currents, 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 AR9100 PowerSafe uses up to 4 (a minimum of 2 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 AR9100 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 AR9100 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.

• True dual battery redundancy—each battery is isolated and if one

fails/shorts the other takes over.

• Utilizes up to 4 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

• Soft switch fails-on if 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 16 awg dual battery leads with pre-wired E-flite

EC3

connectors

• Compatible with all Spektrum
