PBR-12X, 12-channel expander
Powerbox-Systems # 8260

The PBR-12X is used wherever many channels are required in a confined space. Due to the square arrangement of the servo slots, the PBR-12X fits even into the smallest glider fuselages, such as those of the F5J or F3B class.

The built-in electronic switch is operated with our MicroSwitch. If there is no space for this, the PBR-12X saves the last switching state and can also be activated by simply plugging and unplugging the battery.
To reliably meet the power requirements of 12 servos, a compact high-current input with an MR30 connector has been installed. An adapter from MR30 to MPX connection is included.

All receivers with a bus output can be used as the receiver part. The connected bus system is automatically recognized, so no settings are necessary apart from the failsafe positions. Two receivers can be connected to build a redundant receiving system. The PBR-12X replaces any lost data packets from the first receiver with the data from the second without loss.

The advantage of separating the receiver part and servo output is that the receiver part can be placed at an optimal position in the model. Especially with models that have a lot of carbon fiber in the wing mounting area, the receiver can then be placed in the tail fin, for example.

The PBR-12X provides telemetry data for all listed remote control systems. In addition to the battery voltage, the current and the consumed capacity are output - for most systems also the reception data such as lost frames or holds.
