Spektrum XBC100 Smart Battery Checker & Servo Driver User Manual

Johdanto

The Spektrum XBC100 Smart Battery Checker is an essential tool for any pilot or driver. This device functions as more than just a battery checker; it features a built-in cell balancer, an integrated servo tester and driver, and Spektrum Smart battery connectivity.

When used with a Spektrum Smart battery, the XBC100 allows you to view and adjust many settings typically only available with a Spektrum Smart charger. This includes a single connection for balance and battery level checking, and provides records such as the number of cycles, internal battery temperature, and exception reports. Smart battery settings can be adjusted directly from the XBC100.

The XBC100 also includes a Qualcomm 3.0 USB charge port, offering a convenient way to charge mobile devices and Spektrum Smart Transmitters when other USB power sources are limited. Furthermore, the XBC100 enhances model setup and testing capabilities with its integrated servo tester, allowing for easy centering and testing of servo endpoints via the PWM output port.

All functions are displayed on a full-color IPS LCD screen, designed for clear readability in direct sunlight, and accessed through a user-friendly touch interface.
