Monitors and Alarms

provide information on what your entire system in operation is doing to the pack. A binding servo causes an excessive "load" that can cause an unexpected power failure shortly into a flight. A switch could be going bad or an intermittant RX problem could be occurring. Any number of things can go wrong with a battery pack or radio system that causes a disaster if not warned in time. In "real-time" the Gem 2000 will detect and alert you to most of these potential problems during a pre-flight check. And if a battery pack problem develops during flight, it will alert you in time to safely land. less...

indicates RX "on/off" status. An exceptionally brilliant LED indicates a "Go/No Go" status during pre-operational safety check. In-flight it continually advises on the condition of the battery pack and advises when it is time to land. For vehicles and boats it warns of low battery pack condition to help eliminate runaways. Superior to using an external battery checker or meter because it is continually watching what the onboard system "load" factor is doing to the health of the battery pack. Warns of unnecessary and excessive "loading" on the pack due to servo stalling, binding and jamming. Comes factory calibrated for all popular battery packs ranging from 4.8v to 7.4 volts. Fully user programmable over the full operating range of from 4.0 to 10.0 volts. Compatible with all RC Radio technologies - FM/PPM, PCM & Spectrum 2.4 gHz. Compatible with all battery chemistries - NiCd, NiMH, LFE (A-123) LiPo, Li-Ion up to 10 volts. less...

pilots either time their flights or listen for the motor performance to change. ESCs with factory preset "soft" cutouts are typically set to activate at 3v per series cell which often doesn't give enought time to react and land safely. Timing a flight is often inaccurate because of changing conditions and listening for performance change is a pain. Flying is much more enjoyable when you don't have to be concerned with timing or trying to listen for the motor to change pitch. The LVS 32 allows you to safely milk every bit of juice possible from a LiPo pack giving you maximum flying time on every flight regardless of changing conditions and flying styles. When power is connected the LVS 32's LED briefly flashes to verify it's operating and has gone into monitoring "standby" mode. On "A/V" unit styles, both a brief flash and audible tone are emitted. During flight the LVS 32 is on "active standby" drawing only a few micro-amps. In "active standby" it continually monitors voltage and what effect the system "load" is have on the pack's health. When the voltage weakens and drops to the preset threshold, the alert is activated which means under that "load" condition you have about 25% of your flying time left. If the "load" is reduced enough, the alert will subside until the threshold is reached again. When the alert remains "steady on"... there's nothing to think or worry about. There's more than adequate time for a safe full power-on landing. The LVS 32 pays for itself on every flight by maximizing flight time without the nuisance of flight timing and listening. All guesswork and battery pack worry is eliminated.
