Electrical

Power

4xVeronte can use unregulated DC (6.5V to 36V) for the internal Veronte autopilots and also for the arbiter.

LiPo batteries between 2S and 8S can be used without voltage regulation. Remaining battery can be controlled by the internal voltage sensor and by configuring the voltage warnings on the PC application.

For higher voltage installations, voltage regulators must be used. For dimensioning voltage regulators take into account that a blocked servo can activate regulator thermal protection.

Warning

Caution!! Power Veronte out of the given range can cause irreversible damage to the system. Please read carefully the manual before powering the system.

Veronte and servos can be powered by the same or different batteries. In case there are more than one battery on the system, a single point ground union it is needed to ensure a good performance. The ground signal should be isolated from other system ground references (e.g. engines).

It is recommendable to use independent switches for autopilot and motor / actuators. During the system initialization, PWM signal will be fixed to low level (0V), please make sure that actuators / motor connected support this behaviour before installing a single switch for the whole system.

Despite the names, all GND connectors share the same line, meaning they can be used for any ground connection required.

Harness ended in Blue matting connector will refer to Redundant connector, and the one ended in Yellow (reverse polarity) will refer to Arbiter connector.
