  • PowerBox Pitot Slide for PBS-TAV

    PowerBox Pitot Slide for PBS-TAV

    PowerBox developed the pitot slide in order to avoid damage to the projecting pitot tube in transit.

    It enables the user to push the pitot tube into the model for transport, and then withdraw it again prior to flying. The integral magnets secure the slide in both positions.

    The pitot slide is supplied as a set of GRP components including the magnets, and can be assembled in just a few minutes using cyano-acrylate (CA) adheisive.

  • PowerBox P2-JR Header

    PowerBox P2-JR Header

    The P²-JR Header is an adapter from a P²-BUS cable terminating in a MPX plug to four UNI

    servo leads. A typical use for the adapter is in a wing, where up to four Servos or the P²-Bridge can be connected.

  • PowerBox PBS-TAV True Airspeed Vario

    PowerBox PBS-TAV True Airspeed Vario

    The PBS-TAV complements the range of PowerBox sensors with a high-quality speed sensor. TAV stands for True Airspeed Vario, and, as the name implies, the PBS-TAV sensor is able to measure the model's flying speed, altitude and rate of climb. Since the speed and height information are presented with unprecedented precision, the climb rate can be calculated from the data with total energy compensation. This means that the vario only indicates "genuine" thermal activity, and any rise and fall due to control commands is excluded from the calculations.

    The PBS-TAV sensor consists of two pressure chambers with O-ring seals, each containing one of the two super-accurate MEMS pressure sensors, operating independently of each other. The case consists of two robust machined aluminium parts with steel hose nipples.

    The Total Energy Compensation feature includes a factor which allows the compensation to be fine-tuned from the transmitter. Once the factor has been determined in test-flights, the value can be programmed permanently in the sensor.

    The Pitot tube included in the set is of very compact design, and can be installed in the fuselage or wing either permanently, or - using the optional Pitot slide - in a retractable form.

    The sensor can be connected to various telemetry systems; the system is automatically detected, making the PBS-TAV Plug'n'Play.

  • PowerBox P²-ServoBridge 9250

    PowerBox P²-ServoBridge 9250

    Universal servo bus adapter with electronic fuse

    The P²-ServoBridge is the key component in an entirely new servo bus technology which presents unprecedented possibilities. If a servo bus is employed, only one cable is required for several servos. The servos are individually addressed, and therefore each servo knows which signal is intended for it. Earlier servo bus systems simplified the wiring in the model; for example, saving multiple plug / socket connections in the wings. The new feature of the PowerBox P²-Bus is that it works bi-directionally! This means: not only can accurate digital signals be fed to the servos, but important telemetry data - such as current, voltage, temperature and other information - can also be fed back to the Core or Atom transmitter. Targeted alarm settings at the transmitter alert the user to defects in good time, so they can be corrected without the need to analyse reams of data. But even that's not all: the parameters of the P²-ServoBridge can be altered directly from the transmitter. The integral electronic fuse can be adjusted to suit the particular servo, precisely to the milli-second and milli-amp. A micro-controller decodes the bus signal, monitors the current accurately and at high speed at the servo itself, and switches the servo off reliably if the set thresholds are exceeded.

    This technology eliminates all the disadvantages inherent in simple resettable fuses (polyfuses) - such as temperature dependence or ageing effects. A range of pre-set profiles enables any modeller to find the correct setting for a particular servo even without a knowledge of electronics.

    The adhesive pad supplied is used to attach the P²-Servobridge to the bottom or side of the servo case, where it also monitors the servo temperature. In addition to the P²-BUS, the P²-Servobridge works with other bus systems such as S.BUS or SRXL, and even with conventional PWM servo signals. This means that the device can also be used for accurate over-voltage power-off - for example, with retract servos - even when bus wiring is not used. The input signal is detected automatically, and the fuse is pre-set to suit standard servos with an output torque of up to 30kg/cm, so in most applications the P²-Servobridge can be used as a Plug ´n Play device.
