Dual Battery Regulators 

The regulator family has two regulators in it, the SuperReg and the TurboReg. Both these regulators have Deans UltraPlug connectors on the input and output to handle the high currents that these regulators are possible of. The SuperReg is suitable for aircraft with 100cc engines and below (approximately 8-9 digital servos up to 260 in/oz) and can supply approximately 7.5 amps to the aircraft at common input and output voltages. The TurboReg is suitable for aircraft with 100cc engines and above and can supply approximately 17.5 amps at common input and output voltages.

   Smart-Fly Super Reg                                         $99.00

The Smart-Fly SuperReg provides the user with battery redundancy, adjustable regulator and an optional remote failsafe-switch switch for aircraft with engines up to the 100cc size. The SuperReg combines several features into one lightweight unit. It has dual battery inputs with isolation between the two batteries. In case of a catastrophic failure of one battery the other can continue to supply power to the aircraft. The SuperReg has a single regulation element and dual power out connectors. All power input and output connectors are Deans UltraPlugs to handle the high current the SuperReg is capable of handing.
The SuperReg’s output voltage is continuously adjustable from 5.2 volts to 6.5 volts and can supply 7.5 amps continuous current when the input voltage is 8.4 volts and the regulator is set to an output voltage of 6.0 volts. This translates into 7.5 amps continuous current when the input voltage is 8.4 volts and the regulator is set to an output voltage of 6.0 volts.
The SuperReg also has failsafe operation with the optional remote on/off failsafe-switch. The switch actually turns the failsafe regulator on and off and does not carry the system load current. If the switch or wiring between the switch and failsafe regulator were to fail the regulator stays in the on state until you unplug it from the battery.
Smart-Fly offers two failsafe-switch types for their regulators that have failsafe operation. The first is a standard switch. This is a small slide switch similar to the switch that typically comes with your radio. The second switch is commonly referred to as a "Pin and Flag" switch. The idea behind this switch is that a pin, with a flag, is inserted into the switch turns your system off. To fly you remove the pin and flag from the switch and your system is turned on. The only way for your system to be turned off is to replace the pin. The optional failsafe-switch and charge-lead package comes with the failsafe-switch (slide or pin&flag), two charge leads and two Ernst charge jacks.

 Features:

  • Small: 2-3/4 x 2-1/4 inches
  • Lightweight: 2.0 oz
  • 7.5 amps with 8.4 volts in and 6.0 volts out.
  • Dual Battery Inputs
  • Continuously Adjustable Output Voltage: 5.2-6.5 Volts
  • Battery Isolation
  • Individual Charge Leads
  • Optional failsafe-switch and charge-lead package

 

    Smart-Fly Turbo Reg                                        $125.00

The Smart-Fly TurboReg provides the user with battery redundancy, an adjustable regulator and failsafe operation with the optional remote on/off switch and for aircraft with engines of 100cc size and up. The TurboReg provides the highest power density of any available regulator for giant scale aircraft. The TurboReg combines several features into one lightweight unit. It has dual battery inputs with isolation between the two batteries. In case of a catastrophic failure of one battery the other can continue to supply power to the aircraft. The TurboReg has dual regulation transistors with a common control circuit. The dual transistors share the current through the regulator resulting in a more reliable regulator. The TurboReg also has dual output connectors for redundancy when connecting to a PowerExpander. All power input and output connectors are Deans UltraPlugs to handle the high current the TurboReg is capable of handing.

The TurboReg’s output voltage is continuously adjustable from 5.2 volts to 6.5 volts and can supply 17.5 amps continuous current when the input voltage is 8.4 volts and the regulator is set to an output voltage of 6.0 volts. The TurboReg uses a computer-grade brushless fan to provide active cooling of the regulator.

The TurboReg also has failsafe operation with the optional remote on/off failsafe-switch. The switch actually turns the failsafe regulator on and off and does not carry the system load current. If the switch or wiring between the switch and failsafe regulator were to fail the regulator stays in the on state until you unplug it from the battery.

Failsafe Regulators with Switch

The Smart-Fly failsafe regulator with on/off switch is a linear voltage regulator designed specifically for the demands of larger aircraft. Linear regulators operate in a noise-free way so they do not interfere with the radio in any way. The regulator will provide an adjustable output from approximately 5.2 to 6.7 volts. The regulator is rated a continuous 5 amps for an input of 8.4volts and an output of 6.0 volts, with surge currents to 9A. The Regulator will accept an input voltage of up to 13 volts. The continuous current rating will vary depending on the input to output voltage range.

Regulator Adjustable 5Amp with Failsafe Switch

On the Smart-Fly standard failsafe switch we have dual 22-gauge output leads for connecting to the system. These dual leads reduce the voltage drop at higher currents that the wire and connectors cause.

Features:
• 18-gauge wire and Deans UltraPlug connector on input
• Dual output leads to receiver for low voltage drop in wires and connectors
• 5.20V to 6.5V output (350mV dropout @ 5A)
• 5.0V-13V input
• Heatsink for high, sustained current loads
• Universal connectors
• Small size 1.5” x 1.0” x 0.5”

Smart-Fly is now offering two switch types for their regulators that have failsafe operation. The first is the standard switch that we have been shipping for 4 years now. This is a small slide switch similar to the switch that typically comes with your radio. The second switch is commonly refered to as a "Pin and Flag" switch. The idea behind this switch is that a pin, with a flag, is inserted into the switch turns your system off. To fly you remove the pin and flag from the switch and your system is turned on. The only way for your system to be turned off is to replace the pin.

Standard Regulator

 

 

Standard Regulator

The standard regulator family has two regulators in it, the standard Regulator and the heavy-duty RegulatorHD. The standard regulator has standard, dual R/C universal connectors on the input and output side for connection to standard R/C products. The heavy-duty regulator has Deans UltraPlug connectors and 18 gauge wire on both the input and output sides. These regulators are for connecting to certain Smart-Fly components that have Deans connectors and other manufacturers that have Deans UltraPlug connectors on their units.

The Smart-Fly standard regulator has another feature that makes this regulator unique compared to most of the other offerings on the market. This is the dual 22-gauge leads on both the input and output. These dual leads minimize the voltage drop cause by wire and connector resistance. The standard R/C connector is rated for about 3 amps continuous operation. You can see that since the Smart-Fly Regulator is rated for 5 amps that a single connector is really inadequate. On the other hand, one or both leads may be used on both the input and output side if it is not possible to use both leads. The dual input leads are compatible with our “SuperSwitch” DSC switch. The leads provided will fit any radio system brand. The battery side connection is a Futaba female, which will accept a JR male also. The receiver leads are JR style, which will fit both Futaba and JR receivers.
 

    

HD Regulator

 

 The Smart-Fly heavy-duty regulator has all the features of our standard regulator plus another feature that makes this regulator unique compared to most of the other offerings on the market. This is the 18-gauge wire and Deans UltraPlugs on both the input and output. These leads almost completely eliminate the voltage drop cause by wire and connector resistance. The standard R/C connector is rated for about 3 amps continuous operation. You can see that since the Smart-Fly Regulator is rated for 5 amps that a single connector is really inadequate
