Powering On the Controller
This wiring - with the wire loop uncut - assumes that the R/C radio will be powered by the
AX500 controller. Other wiring options are described in “R/C Operation” on page 81 of the
User’s Manual.
Important Warning
Do not connect a battery to the radio when the wire loop is uncut. The RC battery
voltage will flow directly into the controller and cause permanent damage if its volt-
age is higher than 5.5V.
Connecting the optional channel 3 will enable you to turn on and off the accessory output.
See “Connecting Sensors and Actuators to Input/Outputs” on page 47 and “Data Logging
in R/C Mode” on page 91 of the User’s Manual.
Powering On the Controller
Important reminder: There is no On-Off switch on the controller. You must insert a switch
on the controller’s power terminal as described in section“Connecting to the Batteries and
Motors” on page 15.
To power the controller, center the joystick and trims on the R/C transmitter. In Analog
mode, center the command potentiomenter or joystick.Then turn on the switch that you
have placed on the on the VCon wire.
