3. Power supply and charging
4. Operating elements
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 sufcient to provide a
remarkable service life. Additional components increase the
power consumption and decrease the service life. Tempera-
tures of under -10°C signicantly decrease the service life.
The transmitter battery is responsible for supplying power
to this equipment and therefore signicantly contributes to
operating safety.
The following operating elements can be found on the front:
a. On/off switch
Activate transmitter by briey pressing the on/off switch.
- ashes orange (transmitter is working and you are in the
main menu)
- ashes red (battery empty)
- lights up red (transmitter is not receiving, USB mode)
When switching off the receiver, press and hold the switch
until the Corona is off. Only then will the transmitter shut
down.
b. The two ergonomically arranged joysticks with the corres-
ponding trim buttons
c. D/R switch for Dual Rate 1/2
d. Aux 3 - free 3-position switches (COCKPIT SX9 only)
e. Aux 4 - free 3-position switches (COCKPIT SX9 only)
f. 2-position switches for Snap Flap
g. LED with gas pump symbol for warning via telemetry when
the residual battery capacity gets below a certain threshold
(as dened in the power sensor)
h. LED with battery symbol for the telemetry - receiver voltage
Charging the battery via the USB socket
The COCKPIT SX has a mini USB socket for charging on the
back, underneath the speech output. You can charge the
COCKPIT SX, as follows:
· Using the USB cable plugged into your laptop or PC
· Using the USB 12V DC plug-in charger for power-driven
vehicles from MULTIPLEX (# 14 5533)
· Using the USB charger plug 100-240V AC from MULTIPLEX
(# 14 5534)
Charging via PC
Switch your PC on. Insert the USB cable supplied with delivery
into a USB socket on the PC and into the mini USB socket on
the COCKPIT SX and switch the transmitter on. Select “Switch
off and charge” and conrm the charging process with “o.k.”.
Charging with USB plug-in charger
Insert the USB cable supplied with delivery into the plug-in
charger and the mini-USB socket on the COCKPIT SX. Select
“Switch off and charge” and conrm the charging process with
“o.k.”.
The internal charging electronics stop the charging procedure
as soon as the battery is fully charged. This prevents the bat-
tery from being overcharged.
The safety shutdown ends the charging procedure automat-
ically after four hours. When charging via USB with the PC
(charging current approx. 500 mAh), charging occurs up to a
maximum level of 2000 mAh. A quick-charge with 1500 mAh
is possible using the MULTIPLEX USB plug-in charger.
