Powerbox PBR-5XS 5 Channel 2.4GHz Indoor Micro Receiver 8232

The PBR-5XS has been developed specifically for indoor model aircraft. With a weight of just 2g, the PBR-5XS is ideal for all models where minimum weight is vital. That is why the PBR-5XS is not housed in a case, has no integral sockets, and the circuit board thickness has also been reduced to the absolute minimum.

The receive section of the PBR-5XS utilises a chip antenna which is accommodated on the circuit board itself, where it is protected from mechanical influences. With its compact design and chip antenna, the PBR-5XS offers a range of more than 1000m.

One further special feature is the auxiliary analogue measurement input, to which the flight battery can be directly connected, e.g. using the balancer socket; the PBR-5XS then monitors the voltage of the pack (up to 3S / 12.6V), and passes that information directly to the transmitter via telemetry. This facility allows the pilot to monitor the voltage of the flight battery and the speed controllers BEC voltage via telemetry.

The BEC power supply, all the servos and the flight battery voltage monitor are soldered directly to the circuit board of the PBR-5XS. Once this is done, the receiver can be fitted with a heat-shrink sleeve for protection.
