Product description
ThePowerBox Sensor V3is the third generation of thePowerBox Sensor, which is well-known throughout the world. For almost twenty years thePowerBox Sensorhas represented the standard for small to medium-sized models thanks to its compact format and versatility.
By using the latest components we have been able to reduce the size of theSensor V3significantly. For example, the case is now exactly half as deep (11 mm compared with 22 mm). Nevertheless, theSensor V3still fits neatly in the aperture used by its predecessor.
The introduction of a top-quality aluminum case, machined and anodized, has brought a substantial increase in the unit’s cooling efficiency, with the result that the maximum continuous current capacity of thePowerBox Sensor V3is around 35 % higher. In fact, the peak load capacity is twice as high: theSensor V3can handle more than 20 A for several seconds!
TheSensor V3offers two user-selectable output voltages: for normal servos, it can be set to a regulated 6.0 V, while a regulated 7.8 V is available for HV servos– provided that the batteries supply the higher input voltage required.
Power to the unit can be drawn from four different battery types: LiPo, LiIon, LiFePo, NiMH. Ultra-bright RGB LEDs are fitted to indicate battery voltage; they light up in various colors to display the charge status of the batteries.
COREusers also benefit from one special additional feature: both battery voltages can be displayed directly on the transmitter by means of telemetry.
