The Transmitter Battery

pro
The ROYAL is powered by a high-quality re-
chargeable PERMABATT+ battery consisting of six
AA-size NiMH (Nickel-Metal-Hydride) cells.
Features of the PERMABATT+ transmitter battery:
Capacity 2100 mAh
(approx. eight hours' operation possible).
Self-discharge rate around 25% per year
(no recharging required even when stored for long
periods).
Fast-charge capable, max. 1.4 A
The pack must only be charged using a charger
with automatic cut-off: Delta-Peak cut-off at < 5 mV
per cell.
Normal charge at 210 mA
(corresponding to 1/10 C, charge for sixteen hours).
Integral over-current fuse, self-resetting
The battery is ready for use again approx. 1 s after
the excessive current is eliminated.
Avoid deep-discharging the battery (< 5.4 V).
If the transmitter or transmitter battery is to be
stored for a long period (several days), avoid tem-
peratures above 30°C (brief maximum 55°C).
Note:
Like many other technical components, rechargeable
batteries are the subject of constant development. For
this reason we reserve the right to alter the specifi-
cation of the battery pack installed as standard, in or-
der to keep abreast of technical developments.

Safety Notes

! The transmitter battery is responsible for the power
supply to the transmitter, and plays an important
role in operational security. For this reason it is es-
sential to heed our recommendations regarding
charging and storing the rechargeable battery.
! The transmitter is fitted with a self-resetting fuse
which protects the battery and the transmitter from
short-circuit, reversed polarity and excessive cur-
rents. The transmitter electronics feature no addi-
tional fuse!
For this reason it is absolutely essential to use
genuine MULTIPLEX transmitter batteries in this
transmitter!
! Additional safety notes:
Batteries are not playthings, and must always be
stored well out of the reach of children.
Check that the battery is in perfect condition before
every flying session. Damaged or defective bat-
teries must not be re-used. Dispose of them in the
authorised manner / recycling centre (
Do not heat, incinerate, open or short-circuit re-
chargeable batteries, do not charge or discharge
them at excessive currents, do not overcharge
them, and do not charge with reversed polarity.
Place the transmitter or battery on a heat-resistant,
non-inflammable and non-conductive surface for
12
charging, and do not leave it on charge unsuper-
vised.
Do not modify the battery pack in any way. Never
solder or weld directly to the cells.
Mis-handling the battery incurs a risk of combus-
tion, explosion, corrosion and burning.
Suitable extinguishing agents: water, CO
Escaped electrolyte is corrosive!
Do not allow electrolyte to contact your skin or eyes.
In an emergency rinse the affected area with copi-
ous quantities of water, and call for medical assis-
tance immediately.
8.2.
!
Never connect the transmitter to a battery
charger without a battery in the transmitter!
High voltages may be present at the charge out-
puts of battery chargers if no battery is connected.
These voltages can easily damage the transmitter.
!
Timer-controlled fast-charging, automatic cur-
rent setting systems and REFLEX charging
must not be used with this battery!
!
Fast-charge at max. 1.4 A!
This also applies if you remove the battery
from the transmitter for charging.
!
Important when fast-charging:
The battery charger must be suitable for NiMH
cells!
Delta-Peak cut-off sensitivity < 5 mV / cell
!
Charging using mains or 12 V chargers:
It is safe to leave the battery in the transmitter for
recharging. The charger should be connected
using the multi-function socket on the underside
of the transmitter (
charge leads (e.g. transmitter charge lead with
banana plugs # 8 6020). Please refer to the cur-
rent MULTIPLEX main catalogue for information
concerning other charge leads and battery char-
gers.
8.3.
a. Switch the transmitter OFF.
b. Select a charger suitable for NiMH batteries,
switch it on and connect the charge lead to it.
c. Check correct polarity:
red plug = positive terminal (+)
blue / black plug = negative terminal (-)
Connecting the transmitter battery with re-
versed polarity may wreck the battery
(overheating, escape of corrosive electrolyte, cell
burst)!

select the current manually!
