Power Supply And Charging; Operating Elements - Multiplex Cockpit SX 7 Mode D'emploi

3. Power supply and charging

The COCKPIT SX is supplied with power from a robust, long-last-
ing LiFePO battery. The battery is installed together with the
battery management system electronics. When new, the over
4000 mAh supplied by the battery are sufficient to provide a
remarkable service life. Additional components increase the
power consumption and decrease the service life. Tempera-
tures of under -10°C significantly decrease the service life.

Charging Procedure
Connect the mini USB cable supplied with delivery to the mul-
tifunction socket. The socket is on the back of the transmitter
below the speaker. Switch on the transmitter. Connect the
other end either
· with the USB cable via your PC or laptop,
the charging current here is 500mAh.
(charging occurs to a maximum level of 2000mAh)
· or with the USB 12V DC plug-in charger for power-driven
vehicles from MULTIPLEX # 14 5533.
(charging current approx. 1500mAh)
· or with the USB plug-in charger 100-240V AC from MULTI-
PLEX # 14 5534.
(charging current approx. 1500mAh)

The transmitter battery is responsible for supplying power
to this equipment and therefore significantly contributes to
operating safety.
Then switch on the transmitter. In the display, select "Switch
off and charge" and confirm the charging process with "o.k.".
The charging procedure begins, and is indicated by the Coro-
na's continuously rotating red LEDs.
The Corona indicates that the battery is fully charged by
changing to a continuous orange light.
Safety shutdown:
After a total of 4 hours, the charging procedure is completely
stopped in order to prevent external devices (e.g. power bank/
laptop) from being drained.
So when charging via your PC or laptop, charging occurs up
to a maximum level of 2000mAh. After this time, the Corona's
LEDs go off completely.
g. LED with gas pump symbol for warning via telemetry when
the residual battery capacity gets below a certain threshold
(as defined in the power sensor)
h. LED with battery symbol for the telemetry - receiver voltage
