MANUAL FOR ULTRA GUARD 430-LED OPTION
INTELLEGENT BACK-UP TECHNOLOGY FROM OPTIPOWER
The ULTRA Guard 430 is a light weight versatile model emergency back-up solution to allow the use of a
standby lithium cell to drop in and power the receiver (RX) or flybarless controller (FBL) as required. This
allows the pilot to effect a safe landing whether fixed wing or rotary.
The ULTRA Guard 430 is light and intelligent with an all up weight of less than 39 grams including the
430mAh 2S lithium pack. The device is intelligent in that it can sense the model system voltage and set
itself to that voltage so it is fully capable of running at low voltage (LV) and high voltage (HV) systems.
The ULTRA Guard 430 will also charge whilst in flight and balance the lithium pack so you can be assured
of a fully charged back-up device at all times. DO NOT use as main power supply. Read the BEWARE
statement at the end of this manual.
Added to this the ULTRA Guard 430 can be put into discharge mode to avoid leaving the lithium pack
fully charged which does reduce the lithium packs viable life. Added to these features the component
parts are available as separate parts.

Powering Up
Switch on model.
Green flashes for 5 seconds, voltage will stabilize LED goes solid green indicating system OK
Red flashing = charging
