Connections
Switched Load Connection
The right side of the board connects to the load you wish to switch on and off. You must connect the D-swich as shown
or the switch will not appear to operate properly. Do not exceed the voltage or current specifications of the board or you
will destroy it!
Hook-up And Configuration
You will need to solder a three-wire connector suitable for your R/C receiver to the left side of the RCE200 board.
The standard colors of the conductors vary between manufacturers so double check their functions before proceeding.
The top of the board has all of the components on it. The power pad is the only square pad and toward the top.
Two DIP switches set the transmitter stick threshold for turning the switch on. You may alter the switch configuration
"on the fly" to test out the various thresholds. You may need to adjust the trim on your transmitter stick for best operation.
Operation
The onboard LED will aid in switch setup and display the status of your radio link:
The board is unpowered
Transmitter fault: no valid signal
detected (switch is OFF for safety)
On solid
Valid signal; switch is OFF
Valid signal; switch is ON
Off

Dimensions
Mounting
The RCE200 digital switch (D-switch) is small and light
enough to be taped to a non-conductive surface or lashed
with a tie wrap. A 3/4" piece of clear heat shrink tubing
makes an excellent insulative cover.
Diode D1 is optional but recommended if the load you are switching has high inductance,
like a relay coil or motor. The diode will help absorb high voltage transients that often
occur when these devices are switched off. A 1N4001 diode is included with your D-switch.
The end of the diode with the white stripe goes toward the + end of the load.
