Overview
AR9100 DSM2 9-Channel PowerSafe Receiver (SPMAR9100)

Aimed at larger giant scale and jet models that utilise high power high torque power hungry servos the Spektrum Powersafe combines the roles of both receiver and power control centre. The unit itself isn’t actually a receiver, rather it’s a robust power bus designed specifically to handle high current loads. From a safety standpoint power input can come from two batteries via twin 16 AWG input leads and EC3 connectors making a truly redundant dual battery system. Another feature with safety in mind is the soft switch. Servo current is routed around the switch so, should it fail for any reason, power to the system will not be interrupted.

The AR9100 is a full range system uniquely featuring a main unit that houses the power bus providing up to 35-amps continuous and 50-amps peak current to power the model’s system. Three remote receivers linked by 23, 30 and 60cm remote receiver extensions constantly monitor the RF environment and in larger and more complex models an additional fourth receiver can be added (SPM9545 - sold separately), increasing even further the units ability to constantly monitor the RF environment. Through extensive testing Spektrum engineers discovered that mounting the receiver in the typical location at the end of the servo and battery proved not to be the optimum location to provide the clearest RF signal, hence the remote location of the 9100’s receivers . The dual path redundancy of Spektrum's DuaLink™ technology, plus the fact each of the receivers is mounted in a slightly different location exposing them to a different view of the RF environment and creates a bullet-proof RF link in all conditions.
Features
  • True dual battery redundancy - each battery is isolated and if one
    fails/shorts the other takes over.
  • Utilises up to 4 remote receivers for the ultimate RF link in even the most demanding applications.
  • Up to 35 amps continuous and 50 amps peak current handling capability
  • Soft switch fails-on if the switch is damaged
  • Two types of failsafe - Smartsafe (throttle only) and conventional failsafe (all servos)
  • Instant-on reconnect - if a power interruption (brown out) occurs the
  • system reconnects in less than 1/2 second
  • Flight Log compatible
  • Heavy 16awg dual battery leads with pre-wired E-flite® EC3 connectors
  • Compatible with all Spektrum and JR® full range radio systems

    Using One Battery
    The PowerSafe allows the option of using one or two battery packs. When using one battery simply plug the battery into either one of the two battery connectors (BATT 1 or BATT2). Be sure to secure the unused battery connector. Note that the open contacts of the unused battery are not back powered (not electrically hot), however, the unused connector should be secured to prevent it from entangling during flight. When the system is powered using one battery a single blue LED will constantly emit when the system is powered.



    Using Two Batteries
    The PowerSafe offers a true redundant dual battery system. When using two packs, if one should fail (open circuit, short circuit or becomes fully discharged), the other battery will provide power to the system. When using dual batteries it’s recommended that both batteries be of the same capacity and ideally of the same age/ previous profile. When using two batteries the total available capacity equals the sum total of both batteries i.e. BATT1- 2000mAh +
    BATT2- 2000mAh= a total capacity of 4000mAh
