Matek 5 in 1 LED & Power Hub V3 Advanced PDB

Matek 5 in 1 LED & Power Hub V3 Advanced PDB

Overview:

PDBs are becoming smarter and smarter - the Matek 5 in 1 LED & Power Hub V3 PDB is no exception. Featuring both 5V 3A and 12V 500mA BECs, a 5V LED controller, lost model finder and low voltage alarm - the new V3 PDB is now comprised of 2oz copper for even greater current carrying capability.

When running a 4-6S LiPo, the BEC can output 12V to power cameras and video transmitters. The built in 5V LED light controller can be toggled through three flashing modes (constant, slow or fast flash).

The buzzer on board can be triggered via a switch on your transmitter to act as a lost model finder in the event of an unexpected landing and can also act as a low voltage alarm to alert you that it's time to change batteries - the LEDs will also flash to remind you.

Features:
- Built-in 5 functions, small size & light weight
- 2oz copper & 4-layers PCB.
- ESC & Battery solder tabs in pairs
- BEC 5V & 12V Output LED indicators
- TVS input protection

Function:

General
- Input voltage range (3S-6S operation): 9 - 26VDC
- 1 Battery input & 4 ESC outputs
- Regulated 5V and 12V outputs
- LED power indicators ( 5V & 12V outputs )
- 4 pairs 5V LED light pads
- Low voltage setting value indicators
- Dimensions: 46x36x6mm, 
- Weight: 9g 
- Mounting holes 30.5mm square spacing

F1.PDB (ESC outputs)
- Continuous current: 20A per output
- Peak current (10 seconds/minute): 25A per output

F2. BEC 5V output
- Designed for RC Receivers, Flight controllers, OSD, and Servos.
- DC/DC synchronous buck regulator, Efficiency is up to 95%.
- Voltage: 5.0 +/- 0.1VDC
- Continuous current: 3 Amps               
- Short-circuit tolerant (10 seconds/minute)
- 5V is also on the Aux pins + & -.
- If other 5V BEC in use,  Pls remove the red wire on Aux pins.

F2.BEC 12V output
- Linear regulator, very low noise.
- Standard output designed to power cameras and video transmitters,etc.
- Voltage: 12.0 +/- 0.3VDC (4~6S operation)
- Continuous current: 500mA@16V IN (Max.1A 10s/minute),  250mA@24V IN 
- If the battery is 3S LiPo,  Output voltage=3S LiPo voltage - 1V
- Don’t use the BEC 12V to power VTX or Gimbals when 6S battery is in use.

F3. LED Light Controller
- Total 4 pairs LED light pads, All the LED lights have the same status.
- LED light voltage should be 5V.
- Pls use the Aux channel with  toggle switch of  three positions.  Middle position is OFF (Value=1400~1600).  Side position is LED ON (Value=1700~2000)
- Three LED modes: Constant light, Slow flash(1Hz), Fast flash(3Hz)
- Choose the modes: Tune on the LED first(move the switch to value 1700-2000), then move the switch to middle position & side position within 0.5s. Beep once. If no cable is connected to RX Aux channel,  the button can be used to change the modes.

F4. Lost Plane Finder
- Use the same Aux channel with F3 function. Middle position is OFF (Value=1400~1600).
- Move the switch to value=1000~1300, the buzzer & LED light can be triggered. Beep & Flash(2Hz), which can help you search the models in tall grass or trees.
- Set the “SERVO REVERSE” in transmiter to change the switch position of F3 & F4.

F5. Low Voltage Alarm
- The 5in1 can monitor 3~6S LiPo voltage status & notify you once the cells reach the defined voltage.
- If the Input voltage is in the range of following, The 5in1 will detect the cell numbers automatically when the LiPo is connected. Beep once & show the voltage threshold.
- If the input voltage is out of the range. The 5in1 will alarm 1 short beep + 1 long beep & 3 red LEDs light.  Pls check if the battery total voltage is below 3.7V*cells
- Hold the button 3 seconds to enter the setting. Press the button to set the alarm threshold within 3.4V, 3.5V, 3.6V & OFF. The value will be saved if no action within 5 seconds.
- During the using of LiPo, 5in1 will detect the voltage always. If the input voltage is below "threshold * cells", the Beep & Flash will be triggered(1Hz)
- Input voltage rise again, the alarm will be suspended.
- The Buzzer & LED light status of F5 has priority over F3 & F4
