XII. MOTOR/SWITCHES/BATTERY
WIRING
CAUTION
F A I L U R E TO READ, UNDERSTAND, AND THEN FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL AND/OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE TO YOU OR OTHERS!
WHEN OPERATING THE MOTOR:
* ALWAYS wear eye protection!
* KEEP safely away from others!
* ALWAYS make sure the propeller is securely
attached to the motor drive shaft!
* REMEMBER to always use the arming switch
correctly!
* WARNING:
Children should never be allowed
to operate this equipment without
adult supervision!
CAUTION: POTENTIAL BATTERY HAZARD!
The Ni-Cad battery packs used to power the PHASOAR
store a great deal of electrical energy. Always be
extremely careful to avoid shorting out these
batteries. This can lead to a fire, cause burns to
you and others and/or, at the very least, ruin the
battery pack.
CAUTION: PROPELLER HAZARD!
The suggested motor/battery/propeller components in
these instructions result in an extremely powerful
system. The arming switch system should be
properly notated to provide ON/OFF information.
When switched ON, the motor, instantly reaches
maximum RPM's and the spinning propeller becomes a
hazard to you and others, treat this system w i t h
respect! It is very important that you understand
a l l of these precautions and take steps to prevent
accidental switching-on of the system. Always
unplug and remove the motor battery pack when
storing the model or working on it. Always store
the model away from small children or anyone else
u n f a m i l i a r with its correct and safe operation.
REMEMBER: Install and connect the motor battery
pack ONLY when the arming switch is in the OFF
position and the micro switch is inactive.
IN ANY OTHER SITUATION, always disconnect and
remove the battery pack, especially when working on
the model and transporting or storing it.
FUSES
In the following instructions there is a straight-
forward w i r i n g diagram which also includes a
notation concerning the location of a 15 to 20 amp
fuse. A fused electrical system offers some real
safety to its overall operation. Should the motor
stall, as in the case of the propeller being
stopped due to striking an object, the battery pack
w i l l surge its current output and blow the fuse,
thus preventing motor and/or battery pack damage or
burn out.
HIRING
These instructions concern the required wiring when
using the ASTRO FLIGHT 035 Cobalt motor. The
components of this system (as shown below) are:
* 10-1/2" of Red (positive, +) h i - f l c x , h i -
strand count wire (we've used both R06ART
and SR wire with good results).
* 12-1/2" of Black (negative, -) wire.
* Micro switch (Subminiature SPDT Lever
Switch) made by ARCHER and sold through
RADIO SHACK stores - Catalog No. 275-016.
* Arming switch (Subminiature SPST Toggle
Switch) made by ARCHER and a RADIO SHACK
item - Catalog No. 275-612.
* 1 Package of SERMOS R/C CONNECTORS
(contains four connectors, 2 red and 2
black).
