Dual Battery Regulators 

The regulator family has two regulators in it, the SuperReg and the TurboReg. Both these regulators have Deans UltraPlug connectors on the input and output to handle the high currents that these regulators are possible of. The SuperReg is suitable for aircraft with 100cc engines and below (approximately 8-9 digital servos up to 260 in/oz) and can supply approximately 7.5 amps to the aircraft at common input and output voltages. The TurboReg is suitable for aircraft with 100cc engines and above and can supply approximately 17.5 amps at common input and output voltages.

   Smart-Fly Super Reg                                         $Out of stock

The Smart-Fly SuperReg provides the user with battery redundancy, adjustable regulator and an optional remote failsafe-switch switch for aircraft with engines up to the 100cc size. The SuperReg combines several features into one lightweight unit. It has dual battery inputs with isolation between the two batteries. In case of a catastrophic failure of one battery the other can continue to supply power to the aircraft. The SuperReg has a single regulation element and dual power out connectors. All power input and output connectors are Deans UltraPlugs to handle the high current the SuperReg is capable of handing.
The SuperReg’s output voltage is continuously adjustable from 5.2 volts to 6.5 volts and can supply 7.5 amps continuous current when the input voltage is 8.4 volts and the regulator is set to an output voltage of 6.0 volts. This translates into 7.5 amps continuous current when the input voltage is 8.4 volts and the regulator is set to an output voltage of 6.0 volts.
The SuperReg also has failsafe operation with the optional remote on/off failsafe-switch. The switch actually turns the failsafe regulator on and off and does not carry the system load current. If the switch or wiring between the switch and failsafe regulator were to fail the regulator stays in the on state until you unplug it from the battery.
Smart-Fly offers two failsafe-switch types for their regulators that have failsafe operation. The first is a standard switch. This is a small slide switch similar to the switch that typically comes with your radio. The second switch is commonly referred to as a "Pin and Flag" switch. The idea behind this switch is that a pin, with a flag, is inserted into the switch turns your system off. To fly you remove the pin and flag from the switch and your system is turned on. The only way for your system to be turned off is to replace the pin. The optional failsafe-switch and charge-lead package comes with the failsafe-switch (slide or pin&flag), two charge leads and two Ernst charge jacks.

Features:

  • Small: 2-3/4 x 2-1/4 inches
  • Lightweight: 2.0 oz
  • 7.5 amps with 8.4 volts in and 6.0 volts out.
  • Dual Battery Inputs
  • Continuously Adjustable Output Voltage: 5.2-6.5 Volts
  • Battery Isolation
  • Individual Charge Leads
  • Optional failsafe-switch and charge-lead package

 

    Smart-Fly Turbo Reg                                        $ Nil Stock

The Smart-Fly TurboReg provides the user with battery redundancy, an adjustable regulator and failsafe operation with the optional remote on/off switch and for aircraft with engines of 100cc size and up. The TurboReg provides the highest power density of any available regulator for giant scale aircraft. The TurboReg combines several features into one lightweight unit. It has dual battery inputs with isolation between the two batteries. In case of a catastrophic failure of one battery the other can continue to supply power to the aircraft. The TurboReg has dual regulation transistors with a common control circuit. The dual transistors share the current through the regulator resulting in a more reliable regulator. The TurboReg also has dual output connectors for redundancy when connecting to a PowerExpander. All power input and output connectors are Deans UltraPlugs to handle the high current the TurboReg is capable of handing.

The TurboReg’s output voltage is continuously adjustable from 5.2 volts to 6.5 volts and can supply 17.5 amps continuous current when the input voltage is 8.4 volts and the regulator is set to an output voltage of 6.0 volts. The TurboReg uses a computer-grade brushless fan to provide active cooling of the regulator.

The TurboReg also has failsafe operation with the optional remote on/off failsafe-switch. The switch actually turns the failsafe regulator on and off and does not carry the system load current. If the switch or wiring between the switch and failsafe regulator were to fail the regulator stays in the on state until you unplug it from the battery.

Servo Regulator

The Servo Regulator is designed for use when a Power Expander is being run at 2S lithium battery voltage but you need a lower voltage for a servo voltage. The Servo Regulator has a fixed 5.2V output and has a current capability of 3A continuous. The regulator has a large output capacitor to handle the peak currents required by digital servos. The regulator has universal connectors with 22-gauge wire.

 

   

 

Pattern Regulator

The Pattern Regulator is designed for a 2 meter pattern plane or smaller. Do not use this for 3D flying. The Pattern Regulator has a fixed 6.0V output and has a current capability of 3A continuous. The regulator has a large output capacitor to handle the peak currents required by an electronic ignition. The regulator has universal connectors with 22-gauge wire.

   

Ignition Regulator

The Ignition Regulator is designed for use with lithium batteries and electronic ignitions. The Ignition Regulator has a fixed 5.2V output and has a current capability of 3A continuous. The regulator has a large output capacitor to handle the peak currents required by an electronic ignition. The regulator has universal connectors with 22-gauge wire.
