Characteristics

The Smart innovation continues, the Spektrum Smart controller series Firma 150A V2 3S-6S offers a perfect overview of the status of your drive unit, you have available the revolutions, temperature, battery voltage and capacity via telemetry in real time. And without additional sensors!

The innovation of Spektrum Smart continues with a whole series of alternating regulators Firma for RC car models. Thanks to Smart technology, it offers a perfect overview of the state of your drive unit, with real-time telemetry for current, temperature, total battery voltage, voltage of individual battery cells, battery temperature, remaining capacity and engine speed . And without additional sensors! Smart technology ensures that all of your model aircraft's electronics work together seamlessly for maximum efficiency and performance. It offers information about the status of each system component, increasing your confidence in its capabilities and making the entire drive system easy to use. The Smart system consists of a compatible Spektrum transmitter, a Smart receiver, a Smart controller, or a Smart battery.

The controller is controlled by a modern 32-bit ARM Cortex M4 microcontroller. The controller reads information about the type, temperature and voltage of the battery cells directly from the Smart battery via the data cable. So you no longer need any sensors or modules, everything simply goes together. The information will be displayed on the transmitter display (it is necessary to have a Spektrum 2nd generation transmitter with current firmware (Spektrum DX5C, DX5R, DX5 Pro, DX6R).

Waterproof construction*

The electronics of Spektrum Firma controllers for RC car models are completely embedded in a special potting material that prevents moisture or dirt from entering the electronics. The regulator is switched on and adjusted with the buttons that are under the rubber cover.

IC5/EC5 connector compatibility

The controllers are equipped with battery connectors of the IC5 series. When used with a Spektrum Smart battery equipped with an IC3 or IC5 connector, the controller can receive and transmit battery telemetry data. EC5 connectors are backward compatible with IC5 connectors, but you will lose the ability to load data from the accumulator.

Data transfer over one wire

An amazing innovation is the transfer of data from the Smart battery to the controller via one data wire, which is part of the IC3/IC5 connector. Data is transmitted to the receiver via the SRXL2 protocol. Spektrum Firma controllers are also backward compatible with the classic PWM signal, so you can operate the controller with a normal output, but without transmitting telemetry data.

Information about the Smart battery

When using a controller with a Spektrum Smart battery, the automation controller reads all data from the battery. The display of the Spektrum transmitter will show you useful information such as the number of cycles, the remaining battery capacity, the voltage of individual cells.

Programming options

Using the SET button on the controller, a programming card, using a Spektrum 2nd generation transmitter with a display or a computer and the Spektrum Smart Link app.

Sophisticated design with optimized cooling

Firma regulators are fitted with a large heatsink on the top, which removes heat from the power components. Thanks to its compact dimensions, placing the controller in the model is very easy.
