About this manual

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.

Frequently asked questions

How does the UniversalTester indicate battery state?

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.

What operating modes does the UniversalTester support?

The device functions as a battery state tester, a voltage monitor, or a servo pulse monitor.

What is the operating voltage range for the UniversalTester?

The device operates with a huge voltage range from 6V up to 16.8V.

How does the UniversalTester indicate servo position?

One illuminated LED means 10% servo travel, and the 16th LED indicates the direction of spin.
