Powerbox Systems Pioneer

The PowerBox Pioneer is the perfect 14-channel power supply unit without voltage regulation, designed for HV servos. Since the unit has no voltage regulators, nor the large heat-sink surfaces required for them, it offers ultra-compact dimensions. Even so, the Pioneer still provides redundancy, as is the standard for all power supply units made by PowerBox-Systems. The output section and the switch controller are duplicated in order to guarantee maximum security.

A feature which makes the Pioneer unique in its class is its integral iGyro technology, which requires only the optional iGyro SAT as sensor unit. When plugged in, the sensor transforms the power supply unit into a high-performance 9-axis gyro of the latest generation. The integrated iGyro is ultra-simple to use, and can be set up in just a few minutes, ready for the initial trimming flight. The Pioneer offers any number of facilities for fine-tuning, making it suitable for complex models and perfectionists. Stick priority, lock-in feel and gyro characteristics can be adjusted separately for each axis and for two ranges, to name just the most important of them.

The whole package is rounded off by convenience and ease of operation, as PowerBox and Jeti pilots can set up and control all aspects of the Pioneer from the transmitter! Optionally - and for Futaba pilots - the Pioneer can be set up using Mobile Terminal, or using a PC in conjunction with the USB Interface Adapter.

In performance terms the compact Pioneer concedes nothing to the larger backers. Many series of tests have been carried out with a 40 A load for several minutes, and we guarantee a continuous current capacity of 20 A. The elegant aluminium heat-sink ensures the necessary heat dissipation, and even the external switch is supplied in a top-quality anodised aluminium case, machined from solid. As a further option, the new Pioneer is also available with the MicroMag magnetic switch. This switch can be installed visible or hidden and switched on with the included magnet.

The PowerBox Royal SR2s 26 outputs are provided with an ample power supply, and they can also be assigned individually to various functions. All outputs can be allocated direct and gyro channels as well as door sequencer functions.

The PowerBox Royal SR2 has an automatic servo-matching function which is a new development. This system makes it possible to match a maximum of three servos to each other automatically in just a few seconds using five points. All you have to do is select the servos which are inter-connected mechanically, and start the automatic procedure.
Of course, each output can also be adjusted manually using the servo-matching function and the graphic-based menu.

The final aspect of the system is its pair of integrated door sequencers. In addition to a retractable undercarriage, it is possible - for example - to implement a latched opening canopy control system without additional devices. The first door sequencer can be set up in just a few minutes with the help of a Setup Assistant, and three modes are available.
Additional special settings are equally easy to set up thanks to the on-screen diagrams in which the entire timed sequence can be seen at a glance.

The PowerBox Royal SR2 can be set up and controlled virtually completely² from PowerBox and Jeti transmitters! Telemetry for every aspect of battery and receiver data is available for all supported systems. If a GPS III is connected to the unit, GPS data are also available - in so far as your radio control system supports this.
