A
programmable fail-safe unit, designed to return the signal from your
receiver (running to your servo, speed controller, etc), back to
a pre-defined brake position in the event of a signal loss to your
receiver, or when the receiver's input voltage drops below 4.0 volts.
A
failsafe is critical in all combat robots, and is required for nearly
all competitions. If your radio/receiver or speed controllers are
not capable of a programmable failsafe position, you will need one
of these for each of your receiver's outputs that you are using for
a motion device.
This
unit is very simple to hook up inline from your receiver to your
speed controller/servo, and is easy to program with the touch of
a button. The Air Guard Micro Failsafe has a status LED. A solid green
LED means normal operation. A solid orange LED means brake position
set. Solid red LED means signal loss, and failsafe engaged. Flashing
LED between red & orange means low battery voltage.
