DIP1:Select the set-up options you would like to implement on DIP1:
The BL-NavLV can be used to output a special sequence of flashes on all the LEDs to show that
the battery is running low. This can be achieved with either the BL-NavLV checking the battery
(LowVBat Mode) or by setting a time period after which you would like the LED indication to
happen (LowVtime Mode). If both options are set the low battery LED sequence will be initiated
when the first of these conditions is met.
Switches 1, 2 and 3 are used to select the number of cells you have in your Li-Poly battery. If these
switches are all set to off it means the detection of a low voltage in LowVBat Mode is disabled.
SW 1, SW2, SW3
off off off : LowVBat Mode Off
off off on : 1 cell
off on off : 2 cells
off on on : 3 cells
on off off : 4 cells
on off on : 5 cells
on on off : 6 cells
on on on : LowVtest
If all switches are set to on the LEDs will flash in the low battery test pattern so as to familiarize the
RC pilot with the flashing sequence when a real low battery condition is met.
(15) DIP2:Select the set-up options you would like to implement on DIP2:
Switches 1, 2 and 3 are used to select the time before the low battery level LowVtime Mode is
activated. If these switches are all set to off it means the detection of a low voltage in LowVtime
Mode is disabled.
SW1, SW2, SW3
off off off : LowVtime Mode Off
off off on : 10 minutes
off on off : 15 minutes
off on on : 20 minutes
on off off : 30 minutes
on off on : 40 minutes
on on off : 50 minutes
on on on : 60 minutes
(16) Verification of correct operation is achieved by checking the PCB LEDs
RED LED : LiPo below safe operational level when flashing on / off (LiPo damage may result)
LiPo below very low level when constantly on (see last page of this document)
BLUE LED : System micro up and running (flashing on / off), otherwise off
YELLOW LED : LowVBat Mode selected: Flashing, longer time on than off
: LowVtime Mode selected: Flashing, longer time off than on
: Both LowVBat and LowVtime Modes selected: Symmetrical flashing
: Test low battery alarm sequence: Fast symmetrical flashing
: Only LED mode (no battery monitoring): Off
GREEN LED : Super LED brightness mode (Bright Mode1) selected when on
: High LED brightness mode (Bright Mode2) selected when off
Note that these LEDs are tested once at system power up.
