| Welcome to the next generation of Castle air controllers,
the Phoenix Ice series.
Phoenix Ice brings the ability to run at input voltages of up to 8S* (33.6)
and use the built in switching BEC to output up to 5 amps of servo power all the
way up to the 8S max*!
Switching BEC
The Phoenix Ice switching BEC
output is factory set to 5.0V. Users may use Castle Link to select their desired
voltage between 5.0V and 7.0V, in 0.1V increments.
Data Logging
Ice brings another incredibly
useful feature, extensive data logging capabilities. The controllers are able to
measure and record many parameters at sample rates that you choose between 10
samples per second and 1 sample per second. Data points include:
- Battery Voltage
- Battery Ripple
- Battery Current
- Controller Temperature
- Controller Input Throttle
- Controller Motor Power Output
- Motor RPM
This data is stored directly in the controller and may be accessed once the
run is over using the Castle Link USB adapter (sold separately) and Castle Link
software (available free at castlecreations.com). The Max Log Size is 21,504
bytes, everything takes one byte except for motor rpm which takes two.
- Logging 'Battery Current' at only a 1 sample / second - 358 minutes of
logging time (almost 6 hrs)
- Logging 'Motor RPM' at only 1 sample / second - 179 minutes of logging
time
- Logging everything at only 1 sample / second - 44 minutes of logging
time
- Logging everything at 10 samples / second - 4 minutes and 28
seconds
Two versions: Heat Sink 8S max input and Heat Shrink
6S max input
The Ice comes in two versions, standard version which is
optimized for demanding RC heli and sport aircraft applications and a Lite
version packaged in heat shrink for users with tight fuselages.
All Phoenix Ice are ready to fly out of the bag, no programming is necessary
for most aircraft applications. The controllers are set at the factory for Auto
Lipo detect/cutoff operation and they are tuned for optimum outrunner
performance.
Advanced users will find the incredible programmability of the Phoenix Ice
allows for performance characteristics tailored exactly to their desires.
Heli users are raving about the performance of Castle’s programmable
helicopter modes which include options to directly enter desired governed
headspeeds as numerical values! Every heli power combination requires slightly
varying governor gains, Castle makes these easy to tweak and the net result is a
rock solid tail.
Designed in Kansas. Components manufactured in the
USA, Mexico, and China.
Castle Creations, Inc. warrants this product to be free from manufacturing
defects for a period of one year from date of purchase.
*8S rating is for standard Phoenix Ice only. Phoenix
Ice Lite has a maximum voltage of 6s |
