LED Voltage Lights 5V or 6V Monitoring
On power up, the unit sequences through its LEDs as follows:
(using
the upper 5.0 to 6.0 legends to describe the LEDs) 5.2 and 5.6
LEDs flash briefly. The 5.0
LED flashes 4 times The 6.0 LED flashes 4 times
The LEDs run up the scale from 5.0 to 6.0 then down again.
Finally
the 5.0 LED flashes fast.
NOTE: this fast flashing of the 5.0 LED is what
indicates the unit is currently set for 5V. After that, one LED lights on
the Monitor to indicate current receiver pack voltage as read from the lower
4.0 to 5.0 scale.
To change the Monitor from 5V to 6V working it must
be switched off during the power up sequence while the 6.0 LED
is flashing 4 times.
Next and all subsequent times it is turned
on (this does not have to be done immediately) the unit will be
set to 6V working; this will be indicated by the 6.0 LED flashing
fast at the end of the power up sequence. The upper 5.0 to 6.0
scale must now be used to read the pack voltage.
The Monitor can
be set back to 5V working by switching it off during the power
up sequence whilst the 5.0V LED is flashing 4 times.
Important
when using the monitor always ensure that
the correct LED flashes fast at the end of the power up sequence
to ensure it monitoring the correct range:
For a 4 cell NiCd/NiMH
receiver pack the 5.0 LED must flash.
For a 5 cell NiCd/NiMH receiver
pack the 6.0 LED must flash.
DO NOT switch off the battery back whilst the Monitor
is going through its power up sequence unless you are intentionally
changing it's setting.
