9.7   RC-Switch

The RC Switch is a special wireless device that allows you to remotely 
connect  or  disconnect  the  receiver  power  supply  of  your  model. 
There  are  currently  two  variants  of  the  device:  RC  Switch  and  RC 
Power Switch. The difference is noticeable in the picture below. The 
simple 

RC Switch

 is suitable for applications where a 

Central Box, 

Max Bec 2D plus, SBEC 40

 or other intelligent electronic device is 

being  used.  It  offers  a  single  output  pin  that  might  be  wirelessly 
driven high or low according to the situation.
When connected in place of a magnetic key, the RC Switch can turn 
the electronics in the model on and off.

Variant of the RC Switch

Magnetic key plug

RC Power Switch

Standard receiver

Receiver battery

Max Bec 2Dplus

SBEC 40, etc.

Battery plug

Power In
Power Out

The second variant, the RC Power Switch, can fully replace a standard 
physical switch. It can directly drive servos and electronics since it 
includes a couple of low-resistant MOSFETS. Just plug the RC Power 
Switch  between  the  battery  and  the  receiver,  configure  the 
switchrelated settings in your transmitter and bind it as a standard 
receiver.

The switch-related settings are located in 

Model-> Device Explorer - 

>  RC-Switch

.  First,  you  have  to  enable  the  switch  by  pushing  the 

rotary button on your transmitter with the first row of the transmitter 
display highlighted.

Then you should bind the RC Switch:

 

 

 

Put the bind plug into RC Switch and then turn it on.

 

 

Push  the  rotary  button  with  the 

"Pair  RC  Switch"

  row 

   

         

 

highlighted on your transmitter display.

 

  

The ID of the switch is automatically saved.

The Transmitter control switch function is a source of events: 

If  you  want  to  turn  the  model  on,  then  flip  the  assigned  control 
switch and confirm the question that appears. If you want to turn the 
model off, just flip the switch back and also confirm the question.
You can invert polarity of the switch (if high logical level doesn’t turn 
the device on) and also set the audible signals that will be activated 
every time the status of RC Switch is changed (turned on or off ).
