The E-flite 3 AMP 5V 6V BEC (Battery Eliminator Circuit) is designed to provide a stable and regulated power supply to your receiver and servos in remote control aircraft. It converts a higher input voltage from the main flight battery to a lower, constant voltage (either 5V or 6V, selectable) suitable for sensitive electronic components, eliminating the need for a separate receiver battery.

The E-flite 3 AMP 5V 6V BEC is designed for straightforward integration into your RC aircraft's power system. Ensure all connections are secure and correct before applying power.

1. Gano Haɗuwa: The BEC has an input side (typically with a larger connector for the main flight battery) and an output side (typically with a standard receiver connector). Refer to the product image for visual identification.
2. Haɗin shigarwa: Connect the input wires of the BEC to your main flight battery or the appropriate power output from your Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) if it does not have a built-in BEC. Ensure correct polarity (red to positive, black to negative).
3. Haɗin Fitar: Connect the output wire of the BEC to an available channel on your receiver. This will supply regulated power to the receiver and all connected servos.
4. Voltage Zaɓi: The EFLA950 BEC allows selection between 5V and 6V output. Consult the physical unit for any jumpers or switches used to select the desired voltage. Ensure the selected voltage is compatible with your receiver and servos.
5. Amintaccen Hauwa: Mount the BEC securely within your aircraft using double-sided tape or a similar method, ensuring it is protected from vibration and potential damage.

5. Aiki

Once installed, the BEC operates automatically to provide a stable voltage to your receiver and servos. Before each use, perform a pre-flight check:

• Kunna Wuta: Connect your main flight battery. The BEC will power up the receiver and servos.
• Duba Aiki: Verify that all servos respond correctly to control inputs from your transmitter. Check for smooth movement and proper centering.
• Voltage Kwanciyar hankali: If possible, use a voltage meter to confirm the output voltage from the BEC is stable and matches your selected 5V or 6V setting.
• Duban zafi: After a short period of operation, carefully check the BEC for excessive heat. While some warmth is normal, extreme heat may indicate an overload or issue.

The BEC is designed to handle up to 3 amps of continuous current, which is sufficient for most standard RC aircraft setups. Avoid exceeding this current rating to prevent damage or failure.

6. Kulawa

The E-flite BEC requires minimal maintenance to ensure reliable performance:

• Dubawa na yau da kullun: Periodically inspect the BEC and its wiring for any signs of damage, fraying, or loose connections.
• Tsafta: Keep the unit free from dust, dirt, and moisture. Use a soft, dry brush or cloth for cleaning.
• Ajiya: Store the BEC in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.

7. Shirya matsala

If you encounter issues with your E-flite BEC, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• No Power to Receiver/Servos:
  • Check all input and output connections for proper seating and polarity.
  • Ensure the main flight battery is charged and connected correctly to the BEC input.
  • Verify the BEC's voltage selection (5V/6V) is set appropriately.
  • Test the BEC with a different power source or receiver if available to isolate the problem.
• Intermittent Power/Brownouts:
  • This can indicate the BEC is being overloaded. Check the current draw of your servos, especially under load.
  • Ensure all connections are solid and free from corrosion.
  • Consider if the BEC's 3 AMP rating is sufficient for your setup. High-torque or numerous servos may require a higher-rated BEC.
• BEC is Hot:
  • Some warmth is normal, but excessive heat suggests an overload. Reduce the load on the BEC or consider a higher-rated unit.
  • Ensure adequate airflow around the BEC if it's enclosed.
