Hyperion HP-TICOOL-BEC
HYPERION TITAN COOL BEC OVERVIEW: Radio-controlled model Receivers and Servos require 4.8V~6V of input voltage. Traditionally, this voltage was supplied by a 4~5 cell NiCd battery pack. “BEC” means “battery elimination circuit” because voltage from the main flight pack is used instead, but stepped down to suit the requirements of the receiver. As such, a separate battery for receiver is not needed. However, standard BEC circuits found on most motor speed controllers have tight limits on the input voltage they can handle, because they convert the difference between main pack voltage and receiver voltage into waste heat. If it gets too hot, the BEC shuts down and control of the model is lost. In general, 3S (11.1V) battery packs are the limit for standard BEC, and even then one must be very careful not to use too many or the wrong type of servos... Unlike standard BEC circuits, TICOOL is a switch-mode regulator. This means that it efficiently converts even 40V (10S) to match the receiver at 5V or 6V, without overheating. As such, the TICOOL can support as many as 8 standard servos (or as many as 6 Digital), almost regardless of the type of main pack used. But the drawback to switch-mode regulators - in the past - has been radio “noise” that the switching can create, and which can interfere with control of the model. The TICOOL-BEC is the result of extensive testing and development to eliminate such radio noise. Hyperion NET technology is a suite of techniques to eliminate noise and/or move it to a frequency which cannot interfere with your receiver. During worldwide testing, TICOOL showed excellent properties with a wide variety of radio equipment. As a form of insurance, we also add a ferrite suppression ring to the receiver connector wire set. The ring weighs 4g, so total of TICOOL and ring is 24g*. In the majority of user configurations the ferrite ring will be unnecessary, so you may choose to remove it, then range check your system before flight - only adding it back if your particular setup shows increased range with ring in use. SETUP: SEE REVERSE PAGE FOR DIAGRAMS The TICOOL has a jumper switch on right side. The lower position is 5.0V under load; the upper position is 6.0V under load (minimum). IMPORTANT! Many servos on the market today, especially the smaller ones, are NOT made to run on 6.0V. Using 6.0V setting with such servos will cause greatly increased load on TICOOL, and will likely also damage the servo or greatly shorten its service life. Consult documentation to be sure that your servos are intended for 6.0V operation… BEFORE choosing the 6.0V TICOOL setting! (Note: a spare jumper is included in the package) CAUTIONS! THE SERVO LOAD RATINGS FOR THE TICOOL-BEC ASSUME SERVOS WHICH ARE AVERAGE
IN CURRENT DRAWN AT IDLE AND UNDER LOAD, WHICH ARE IN GOOD CONDITION,
AND WHICH ARE OPERATING NON-BINDING CONTROL SURFACES. If necessary, replace
servos and/or repair control surfaces before flight to insure reliable
operation. Note that servos vary widely in their specifications. Depending
on your servos, you may be able to use fewer or more servos than we specify.
Operate the model’s control surfaces on the ground and check temperature
of TICOOL. If cool to just warm, perform a short test flight and check
temps again. If any part of TICOOL is uncomfortably warm to the touch
after the short test flight, you may need to examine your setup. If cool
to the touch, you may be able to use more servos, or use TICOOL 6V setting
if 6V operation is supported by your servos. A similar method can be used for any brand of single lithium pack up to 10S, if it has a balance connector and you can buy the mating connector for TICOOL Input Leads. However, do be sure that you check the maker’s documentation in order to wire the connector properly. After wiring, always measure the voltage at the MAIN PACK WIRES, and confirm that the Input Voltage to TICOOL is the same. ADVANTAGES: This system is convenient to use. It is easy to install.
It allows you to easily move the TICOOL BEC to any model using the same
type of lithium pack balance connector, without any re-soldering. It allows
you to power receiver and servos WITHOUT powering the Speed Controller
and Motor (for example, while setting up servos, etc).
Simply solder the RED/BLACK Input Leads from TICOOL-BEC unit to the pins
of connector attached to your ESC. Do be sure to use at least 2.5cm (1”)
of shrink tubing to secure the leads parallel to the ESC wires for that
distance. This insures that mechanical stress is not placed on the solder
joints of the input wires to ESC connector... HP-TICOOL-BEC WARRANTY
