Operating manual for EMCOTEC's UniversalTester, a multi-meter device for monitoring battery state, voltage, and servo pulse in RC models.
The EMCOTEC UniversalTester is a multi-meter device designed for RC model applications. It features 16 ultra-bright LEDs to indicate battery state, voltage, or servo position. The device can be programmed to operate in different modes, including battery state check, voltage monitor, and servo pulse monitor. Safety instructions and technical data are included. Programming involves bypassing contacts and selecting from 15 pre-defined programs.
The device supports various battery types including LiPo, NiMH, and LiFePO4. It includes an alarm output for external LED indicators and can be configured for different voltage ranges and servo pulse interpretations. The device automatically enters sleep mode when voltage drops below thresholds, particularly for 4S LiPo batteries.
| LEDs | 16 ultra bright light emitting diodes |
|---|---|
| Battery Types Supported | 2S, 3S, 4S LiPo, 5/6 cell NiMH, 2S, 3S, 4S LiFePO4 |
| Voltage Range | 6V to 16.8V (up to 4S LiPo) |
| Alarm-Output | External control LED (optional accessory, part number A71056) |
The battery state is indicated by 16 LEDs, with colors indicating voltage levels: blue for overcharged, green for fully charged, yellow for low charge, and red for nearly empty.
The device functions as a battery state tester, a voltage monitor, or a servo pulse monitor.
The device operates with a huge voltage range from 6V up to 16.8V.
One illuminated LED means 10% servo travel, and the 16th LED indicates the direction of spin.
