The Central Box 400 is fully programmable switchboard with two (2) independent, stabilized
power voltage regulators
(30A Continues/230A Peak) designed for complete power and signal management of
servos with great emphasis on safety. The Central Box 400 has a unique design that provides power management,
servo assignment, telemetry data stream, and overload protection for each one of the servo outputs. The Central
Box 400 can manage up to two batteries and fully supports the Jeti EX telemetry data stream. Up to two receivers
with serial (PPM, EX Bus, UDI) output as well as two power batteries can be connected at the same time to the
Central Box for complete Power & RF signal redundancy. In addition the Central Box 400 has up to four (4)
independent Ext1/Ext4 telemetry inputs and two (2) stabilized BEC outputs for additional electronic devices. For
more safety, the Central Box 400 contains two switching regulators connected in parallel. The adjustable voltage
at the BEC output is always the same as voltage supplied to the servos. Voltage for the servo can be adjusted
from
5V to 8V in 0.1V steps.
Power Management (Standard/Advanced)The power
batteries are connected to the Central Box using MPX connectors. The Central Box allows two batteries to be
connected. During use, the power is actually supplied from the battery with the higher voltage. If the voltage
is the same, the power can be used from both batteries at the same time. When the voltage of the batteries is
different, the power is not shared and each pack is isolated from the other. This allows you to use batteries of
different capacity, number of cells and chemistry type. If the power for the Central Box 400 is provided only
from one battery, it can be connected via either battery (BATT1/2) inputs.
In advance power setting
you can independently adjust power input voltages. This way the battery with higher voltage can be used only as
power battery backup and you can avoid constant charging and cycling both receiver battery
packs.
With Jeti Duplex 2.4GHz DC/DS transmitters, the full potential of the Central Box can be
used, such as an easy way to wirelessly configure the Servo Outputs, EX Telemetry, Fail-Safe Setting or Fast
Servo Response. Included:(1) Jeti Central Box 400

Data Recording &
DownloadCentral Box 400 is equipped with 8MB internal memory. The memory is used to store the
telemetry data from the Central Box and from all connected sensors. The data log file uses standard FAT32
system, all files containing the telemetry data are located in the Log. directory. The telemetry recording
starts automatically if the Central Box detects a receiver signal providing the information on Rx1 or Rx2
channels. The recording stops automatically when the Central Box is switched OFF.
If you connect
Central Box to the PC using the USB port. The PC detects Central Box as a mass storage device. After the
Central Box is connected to the PC, it becomes inactive and can be used only for data
reading.JetiBox ConfigurationThe JetiBox monitor/programmer can be used for
parameter setting and retrieving data. After connecting to the Central Box (Ext4), a startup screen appears that
contains identification of the device in the first line of the JetiBox display. The second line contains the
data showing the consumed capacity of batteries. By pushing the R button (to the right) on the JETIBOX, you get
to the expander menu.
Magnetic Switch (Optional)The magnetic switch is used to turn the
Central Box ON/OFF and is connected to a separate slot labeled "Switch". To turn on the Central Box using the
magnetic switch it is necessary to hold the supplied magnet (key) to the target so that the key and the target
on the magnetic switch are properly oriented.
Wireless Switch R3/RSW
(Included)State-of-the-art device that sets Jeti as a leading designer and manufacturer of radio
control systems. Wireless power switch is fully integrated into the 2.4GHz radio system. For first time your
receiver can be turned ON/OFF with simple flipping of the switch wirelessly from the Jeti DC/DS
transmitters.

Fail-Safe Setting Switches ON/OFF of the
Fail-Safe function. If the Fail-Safe function is deactivated, there is no signal generated in any
Central Box outputs at the signal loss. If you activate the Fail Safe function, you can also select
how the Central Box responds at signal loss for each of the individual outputs. |
