  • Problems with Optipower Ultra guard

    I just installed this on my Trex 600N and it fires up when I put on the power but the problem is that when I unplugg the battery the Optipower guard also shuts down, hence it is not working as a backup, why is it like this?

      I use a LIFE which I connect directly into the RX with a Y-cable. I then connect the Optipower guard in the other lead coming from the RX.

      I just noticed that there is a balance lead on the guard. Do I need to connect this?

        Yes. You need to plug the balance lead into the opti board.

                  Think I might have a prob with mine then too.. My led starts flashing after powering up, maybe 20-30 seconds in, usually after placed on floor for take off.

                  Bec is defo working on this heli as I've had many flight since this started happening. I've unplugged it for now.

                    Can you give us a bit more detail on your setup, which BEC, the voltage it is set to etc. ?

                    Also more details on the model, servos, wiring etc. would help.

                      Did we ever get to the bottom of whether a Guard can be used with a CC Talon 90 or any other CC ESC?

                        Hope this picture answers your question David. All my helis have CC 160A ESC's fitted alongside the Optiguard and no issues here.

                              I just noticed that the red lamp is turned on as soon as I steer the sticks rapidly. Does this mean that it is engaging?
