Using the guidelines mentioned earlier, select the battery system that best fits

your application and install the battery(s)/regulator(s) in your aircraft. Connect

the battery to the PowerSafe Evolution. Spektrum PowerSafe batteries are pre-

wired with an EC3 connector and require an EC3 to MPX adapter to plug into the

PowerSafe Evolution. It is absolutely essential to maintain the correct polarity,

connecting a battery with reversed polarity will instantly damage the PowerSafe

Evolution’s internal regulators and will prevent the PowerSafe Evolution from

working. The + (positive) mark can be seen on the PowerSafe Evolution case.

The default battery type setting is for Lithium Polymer, LiPo, 2 cell packs. If

you wish to use 2 cell (7.4V) LiPo packs, you need to make no changes to the

battery type setting. For all other battery types, the battery type must be set using

the following procedure.

1. Turn the PowerSafe Evolution on with both batteries if so equipped.
2. Hold the SET button and watch the central LED on the SensorSwitch.
3. The LED will light up, then go out again after a short time.
4. After a few seconds, the LED will emit a short red flash. If using 2 cell

LiPo batteries, and you release the button now, the LiPo battery type will

be selected.

5. If using 5 cell NiMH or NiCd batteries, continue to hold the button until

the LED flashes twice. After the LED flashes twice, release the button to

select NiMH or NiCd battery type.

3. To turn the PowerSafe Evolution receiver on with the SensorSwitch, press and hold

the SET button on the SensorSwitch until the central LED glows red. Now press

buttons 1 and 2 one at a time to turn each on. If you have only 1 battery installed,

you only need to press the button for that battery.

4. To turn the PowerSafe Evolution off with the SensorSwitch, repeat the procedure

for turning the receiver on, by pressing and holding the SET button until the central

LED glows red, then press button 1 and/or button 2.

Note: Once the PowerSafe Evolution has been turned on, it can only be turned off

again by using the SensorSwitch. Intermittent contacts or interruptions in the battery

power cannot cause the PowerSafe Evolution to be switched off permanently.
