New From Elite, The Voltario T70

Just When You Thought It Couldn’t Get Any Better

Introducing the Elite Voltario T70. Like the Voltario T60, the T70 is a high performance, digital dual redundant battery switch with advanced telemetry features and touch switch functionality. It combines a backup battery charging circuit and telemetry functionality in a single device. The T70 however, offers additional expander ports that are not provided by the T60. The T70 is offered in two versions depending upon your set up. One option supports dual batteries, the other supports ESC/battery combinations.

Specifications and Features

Intelligent dual battery backer/multiplexer with configurable voltage switchover threshold.
Touch switch function (included) or optional mechanical, sliding or wireless (R3/RSW) options.
Jeti Duplex EX, Futaba S.Bus2, Multiplex MSB, Graupner Hott, PowerBox telemetry support.
Optional charging of the secondary/backup battery with capacity protection limits.
Remembers the last operating state if the battery is accidentally disconnected.
Two telemetry expansion ports that allow connecting additional Duplex EX/EX Bus sensors.

Elite AMS Competition Altitude Motor Switch, Variometer & Altimeter w/Telemetry

AMS RELEASE NOTES: VERSION 1.07
- PowerBox P2Bus telemetry support has been added. Available telemetry values: Altitude, pressure, temperature, throttle output, off-altitude…
- Configurable telemetry slots in S.Bus2 telemetry mode. Use the MAV Manager software to change the configuration. After changing the slot range please choose the “VARIO-1672” sensor type on the appropriate slot in your Futaba transmitter.

Elite Falcon ESC

FALCON/IBEX ESC RELEASE NOTES: VERSION 1.10
- Improved on-the-fly startups (When the propeller is spinning).
- Optimized PC configuration.

Elite EX5 Serial Bus & Servo Channel Expander

EX5 RELEASE NOTES: VERSION 1.04
- Improved compatibility with JETI EX Bus 24-channel mode.
- Added PowerBox P2Bus support on Rx1/Rx2 inputs, including telemetry.
- Added stabilization gain tuning. Using spare Bus channels, it allows you to assign up to 3 channels to control the stabilization gains of each model axis during flight. After you assign the channel operated e. g. by a potentiometer, the behavior will be similar to a standard gyro:
  - Potentiometer in the middle (0% ~ 1.5ms) effectively disables the stabilization since all gains will be set to zero.
  - Potentiometer to the left (< 1.5ms) activates the “Heading Hold” mode. o Potentiometer to the right (> 1.5ms) activates the “Normal” mode.
