Jettronics proportional brake valve?
Questions for the "experts"?
When I turn off my rx, the light on my jettronic proportional brake valve stays on? What gives? did I hook something up wrong? The instructions leave a little to be desired? I imagine that the unit should turn off when turning off the rx, as it's hooked up to the rx and has no external power to it? It does seem to work fine, so I think i hooked it up ok?... I mean theres only one wire that hooks up to the rx..
Oh well...
Thanks

How can the valve ''see'' power if the rx isn't even ''seeing'' any power? That is a conundrum indeed!

How long does it stay on after power off? It could be residual current. If it stays on continuously, unplug it and then plug it back in. The receiver may be receiving power. How many batteries to the Rec? Type of receiver? Any regulator?

Weird...
Maybe the RX is faulty? or the switch? RX was returned today to Horizon Hobby for service...

Interesting. I have the identical receiver and battery setup in my turbine heli. I don't have a brake valve, but I do have low voltage lights and they turn off. Definitely weird!
I did encounter one strange thing, though...I have servo operated mains and nose gear all connected to the gear channel through two Y harnesses. When I slow the servo speed it only affects ONE of the servos!

Wasn't there a fault reported on the soft switch, something about not switching off correctly if I remember, or not switching off both batteries? Do a search on this Forum I am sure I read it on here.

What is the full name of the unaffected servos?
