Importing a new version from external source
<p>
<p>
By using a low-resistance high-current connector system MICROBEAST PLUS HD makes it possible to use thick power cables for connecting receiver battery or BEC which preserves a virtually loss-free transfer of electric current. In addition the power connection is switchable using a particularly fail-safe switch system, so there is no need for a separate and costly power switch. '''The input voltage range is 3.5 to 8.4 volts.'''</p>

Solder to the supplied power cable a matching counterpart for the supply battery used or connect it with the BEC power wires (of your speed controller). When using a battery it is not recommended to directly connect the battery to the MICROBEAST PLUS HD without using the supplied power cable as an adapter. Continuous plugging and unplugging can cause the overlying servo plugs getting unplugged accidentally or cause the adhesive gyro pad to get loose! Receiver and servo plugs are connected to the ports on top of the unit. There is no difference between HD and non HD version in this respect.</p>

* Using the high power connection port is not a must. You can also use MICROBEAST PLUS HD in a conventional manner by powering the unit from the receiver ports in the top row, as shown in the [[Manuals:MB Plus:Receiver Installation|chapter on receiver installation]]. However, using the electronic power switch system is not possible then!

* Note that the system can only be as powerful as the power source allows. Use power cables with sufficient diameter, avoid long cable length and only use a plug system for connection of battery and power cable that is capable of transferring high currents.

* MICROBEAST PLUS HD does not supply an internal voltage regulation! The voltage that is applied to the high power connection port will directly be passed to the servo and receiver connections. Only use electronic components (servos and receiver) that are designed for your power source.
