Tip
When the RC system is switched on prior to flying, we recom-
mend that you "stir the sticks" to move the servos, and check
that everything is in order when the battery is under load. The
colour of the LED is a useful indicator if the battery is not suit-
able (too small, too flat) for the servos installed in the model.
8.2.2 Setting the battery type
If you need to change the battery type setting, this is accom-
plished using the sensor button.
1. The default setting is for a two-cell LiPo battery.
If you wish to use this battery type, no further adjustments
are required.
2. If you wish to use a five-cell NiXX battery, you must set the
voltage monitor to this battery type.
To switch to the NiXX battery setting:
Connect your preferred battery to the unit (the SAFETY-
SWITCH LiPo must already be switched on (see 8.2.1)).
Hold the sensor button pressed in:
a) First the LED glows orange
b) Then the LED changes to red
c) Finally the LED flashes green once
Release the button: the set battery type is now LiPo
Alternatively wait until the LED flashes green twice
Release the button: the set battery type is now NiXX

The push-buttons on the SAFETY-SWITCH LiPo TwinBatt are
marked "SET", "I" and "II".
The sensor buttons do not switch the current for the receiver and
servos. The actual switching process is carried out by the two
independent electronic switches in the SAFETY-SWITCH LiPo
TwinBatt.
The switch harness is equipped with an LED power-on indicator
for both power circuits: if one battery is switched on, the associ-
ated multi-colour LED lights up. If both batteries are activated,
both LEDs light up.
The central red LED is used in conjunction with the power-on
and power-off process, and when setting the battery type in use.
9.2 Using the device for the first time
9.2.1 Switching on and off, LED colours
Switching on:
1. Connect the two receiver batteries to the SAFETY-
SWITCH LiPo TwinBatt
2. Hold the SET button pressed in
The red LED glows
3. Continue to hold the SET button pressed in, then press the
buttons I and II briefly in turn
The left and right LEDs light up: the SAFETY-SWITCH
LiPo TwinBatt is switched on
4. Now release the SET button

Switching off:
1. Hold the SET button pressed in
The central LED glows red
2. Continue to hold the SET button pressed in, then press the
two buttons I and II briefly in turn
All the LEDs go out: the SAFETY-SWITCH LiPo Twin
Batt is switched off
3) Now release the SET button
LED colours:
The switch harness is equipped with two independent voltage
monitors. The current voltage of the batteries is assigned to the
two multi-colour LEDs (right and left LED) in the switch housing.
The LEDs indicate the current voltage of the two batteries in four
stages:
•
Green:
•
Orange:
•
Red:

Tip
When the RC system is switched on prior to flying, we recom-
mend that you "stir the sticks" to move the servos, and check
that everything is in order when the batteries are under load.
The colour of the LED is a useful indicator if the battery is not
suitable (too small, too flat) for the servos installed in the model.
Both power circuits can be switched on and off separately using
the push-buttons I and II. This method of switching enables the
user to check each power circuit or battery separately:
1. Switch one power circuit on, "stir the sticks" to move the
servos, and check that the battery voltage does not collapse.
2. Switch the first power circuit off again.
3. Switch the second power circuit on, and carry out the same
check as described under 1.
4. If everything is in order, switch the first power circuit on
again.
You now have genuine double security.
9.2.2 Setting the battery type
If you need to change the battery type setting, this is accom-
plished using the sensor button marked SET.
1. The default setting is for a two-cell LiPo battery.
If you wish to use this battery type, no further adjustments
are required.
2. If you wish to use five-cell NiXX batteries, the voltage moni-
tors have to be set to this battery type.
To switch to the NiXX battery setting:
Connect both NiXX batteries (the SAFETY-SWITCH LiPo
TwinBatt must already be switched on (see 9.2.1)).
The left and right LEDs now both flash red, since the default
setting for the voltage monitor is for LiPo batteries. To re-set
the voltage monitor to five-cell NiXX batteries the program
has to be changed; the change affects both batteries.
Battery voltage satisfactory
Battery approximately half-empty
Battery flat
Maximum alarm stage!
