QJ guys,

Got this cool gadet a couple of weeks ago. It's a visual and acustic LiPo saver that works just great. Just connect it to the balancer plug of you pack. Forget about transmitter timers, because every pack is in different condition, timers are not really adequate. This one here blinks and beeps (very loud!!) as soon as the weakest cell of the pack, no matter which one, reaches a certain voltage level. The minimum voltage threshold is adjustable from 2.9V - 3.9V. Got mine on 3.6V.

As soon as the first cell reaches 3.6V, my EP-8 EX beeps like a Truck moving backwards... time to land! It's really loud, so you hear it even if you are far away in the clouds with your bird.

Another feature is the voltage check: Connect it to the balancer plug of your pack and it shows you the voltage of the pack (4.0V means a full pack, below means a not fully charged pack). So you never mix up flown/fresh packs on the field.

Available here in a German shop:

Cheers,

No, but they ship overseas, too. PayPal is accepted. I guess around USD 50 incl. shipping.

How do you set the threshold voltage with the potentiometer?
What is the procedure? Do I need to use a voltmeter?

You can use a screwdriver to adjust it. Voltage is indicated roughly next to the potentiometer in 0.2 Volt steps, so 3.2, 3.4, 3.6 and so on. At the beginning, you set it up to around 3.7 and fly until it starts beeping in the air. The you adjust it down until you get a reasonable flying time, taking into account to have another 30 seconds flying time after it starts beeping to safely land. Measure the pack after the flight and check if voltage is still on a safe level not to damage your cells.

I have to add again that the beeper is pretty loud, so you hear it also on a 600 machine easily, even if the bird is far away.

The tools acts as a voltage meter on the ground, too. Connect it to a pack and the LED's indicate the voltage in 0.1 steps, e.g. 3.5. This prevents to incidently lift-off with an empty pack...
