• Ukuran pigura: 50mm x 50mm x 9.8mm
• Ukuran Lubang Pasang: 30.5mm x 30.5mm (M3)

3.2 Sambungan Listrik

Refer to the diagrams below for correct wiring. Pay close attention to polarity and signal assignments. Incorrect wiring can lead to component damage.

Input Daya Utama:

• Connect your main LiPo battery (3-12S, 8-60V DC) to the large designated "BAT" (positive) and "GND" (negative) pads. Double-check polarity before soldering.

ESC Connections:

• The PDB supports up to 8 ESCs. Solder the main power leads of your ESCs to the corresponding large power distribution pads located around the perimeter of the board.
• Connect the signal wires from your ESCs to the individual "S1" through "S8" pads.
• If your ESCs support telemetry feedback, connect their telemetry output wires to the dedicated "TX" pads on the PDB.

BEC Outputs:

• 5V BEC: Provides a stable 5V output at up to 5A. Connect components requiring 5V power (e.g., flight controller, receiver, GPS) to the "5V" and "GND" pads.
• 12V BEC: Provides a stable 12V output at up to 4A. Connect components requiring 12V power (e.g., FPV camera, video transmitter, LEDs) to the "12V" and "GND" pads.

Current Sensor and Telemetry:

• The PDB includes an integrated amperemeter. The "CR" pad provides the current sensor output signal to your flight controller for real-time current consumption monitoring.
• Telemetry feedback is supported, allowing your flight controller to receive data from compatible ESCs via the "TX" pads, enhancing flight data logging and OSD capabilities.

4. Parentah Operasi

Once properly installed and wired according to the setup instructions, the HGLRC SPECTER 12S PDB operates automatically to distribute power and provide regulated voltage kaluaran.

• Connect your main LiPo battery to the PDB. The PDB will power on and provide regulated 5V and 12V outputs to all connected devices.
• Ensure your flight controller is correctly configured to read current sensor data from the PDB's "CR" output for accurate power consumption monitoring in your OSD or flight logs.
• If utilizing ESC telemetry, verify that your flight controller firmware and ESCs are configured to properly communicate and display real-time ESC data.

5. Pangropéa

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and reliable performance of your PDB.

• Regularly inspect all solder joints and electrical connections for any signs of wear, corrosion, or physical damage. Re-solder or reinforce connections as necessary.
• Keep the PDB clean and free from dust, dirt, carbon fiber particles, and other debris. Use a soft brush or compressed air for gentle cleaning.
• Before each flight, perform a visual check for any loose components, wires, or signs of stress on the board.
• Store the PDB in a dry, cool, and anti-static environment when not in use to prevent environmental damage.

8. Tips pamaké

These tips are compiled from common practices and user experiences to help you get the most out of your PDB.

• Solder Quality: Always use high-quality solder and ensure clean, shiny, and strong solder joints for all connections, especially high-current paths. Poor solder joints can lead to intermittent power loss, voltage drops, or component damage.
• Wire Gauge Selection: Use appropriate wire gauges for battery and ESC connections. For high-current applications like this PDB, using wires that are too thin can cause excessive heat, voltage sag, and potential failure. Consult wire gauge charts for your expected current draw.
• Panempatan Kapasitor: Consider adding additional low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) capacitors at the main battery input if you experience significant voltage spikes or electrical noise, especially with long battery leads or very high-power setups. This can help protect your electronics.
• Flight Controller Integration: Take the time to correctly map the current sensor and telemetry pins in your flight controller software (e.g., Betaflight, ArduPilot). Proper configuration is essential to fully utilize the PDB's integrated features for monitoring and data logging.
• Pre-Power Testing: Before connecting your main battery for the first time, perform continuity checks with a multimeter to ensure there are no short circuits. It is also highly recommended to use a smoke stopper during the initial power-up to prevent damage in case of a wiring error.
