Vertical g.... Make sure your trasmitter is off... Then connect to computer... When asked to turn On transmitter press "NO"... Then you will be asked connect USB then press "YES".
At that point copy the "Activation bin" file to the "update" folder of the SD card in your transmitter... At that time (on your transmitter screen) it will ask you to reboot to process the upgrade.. If it doesn't turn off the transmitter and then turn it back on....
That should do it... If not email Jeti and re verify your transmitter serial number. DS14 is an Excellent transmitter.. I have one and it's great...

Sorry to hear things did not work for you.. I updated my DS14 adding accelerometers and other items and it all worked without any problem... Maybe someone else can chime in.. Possibly the "Activation Bin" file needs to be resend to you from Jeti... Maybe email them tonight for a new Activation file...
Hope it works out for it... its a great system..

After messing around with it for an hour or so I was able to get my channel expansion to add. But I made 2 seperate purchases for upgrades. The other one has logical switches and the voice modulation. I suppose I will get it to work eventually. I am not planning to fly the radio for a bit, as I am busy getting a scale model ready for the AMA Nats next month. I do not have time to screw around with the radio too much, and will stick with my other one most likely until I get everything squared away with the Jeti. One thing about competition, you do not want a fight on your hands with equipment. Until I have it figured out fully and can trust iot, no way it goes into competition. This radio seems to take a little more time than the others I am used to. I will figure it out eventually. I wi;ll ask them to send me another file.

New Central Box 400, is due late June.
The pdf. Manual has been attached for more details.

Jeti Central Box 200 Power Distribution System
The Central Box 400 is a switchboard designed for the complete management of servos in large to giant models with an emphasis on safety. The Central Box 400 has a unique design that provides overload protection at each servo output. An independent, very powerful BEC (battery eliminator circuit) for each battery input makes the Central Box an optimal solution to connect up to 24 servos. The Central Box 400 can manage the batteries and fully supports the JETI EX telemetry system. Up to two receivers with serial (PPM, EX Bus, UDI) output can be connected to the Central Box 400. With a JETI DC/DS transmitter, the full potential of the Central Box can be used, such as easy configuration of the Central Box, EX telemetry, and very fast servo response.
Features:
- Two independent high-powered BEC´s for voltage stabilization of servos
- Overload protection on each channel
- Overload protection on Rx, Ext, and Switch outputs
- Possibility to connect up to 2 receivers with serial interface (PPM, EX Bus, UDI)
- Built-in Expander function with the possibility to connect JETI Ex sensors
- Input for magnetic switch or RC switch
- Batteries connected via MPX connector
- Stabilized voltage output via a pair of MPX connectors
- 100Hz mode of servo outputs (10ms period)
- Supports EX telemetry (voltage, current, capacity, and temperature measurement, overload indication, ...)
- Internal memory for storage of telemetry data
- USB connectivity for connection to PC
- Easy settings changes via DC/DS transmitter
- Firmware updatable
- Suitable for use with high voltage (HV) servos
- Robust metal construction with mounting holes
- LED status indication
- Each output is individually configurable (channel assignment, trim, reverse, ATV)

Hi All,
This afternoon i was setting up my new Jet ( PST Revision) it has a Merlin 140,I am using the following,
CB 200 with 2 r sats+ rc switch,
A Jeti MAXBEC2D PLUS EX regulator,set to 5.7 volts
2 4200 LIFE 2S 20c batteries,
The batteries are plugged into the CB 200 using the MULTIPLEX connectors,
The system is in Dual mode,
The system was switched on and was all looking good i was just setting up a mixer to switch out the steering when the gear is retracted and when i looked at the model everything had switched off? all the power on lights on the regulator were off?
I removed the battery plugs and checked the voltages they were both around 6.6volts plugging them back in made no difference,
The 16 Ds TX was on the bench next to the model,
I switched the TX and the RX on and off several times before the regulator would switch on again,
It has been ok now for 2 hours,
To say i am a bit concerned is an understatement if this should happen when in flight i will be a bin bag job,
Any thoughts on what i could have done wrong or what has failed?
Your help would be appreciated,
Regards Ray

Why are you setting the regulator so low? Or even a better question is why are you using a regulator at all with Life 6.6 batteries?

Ray.. why are you using a regulator when your power source is LiFe (2cell) max at 6.6 volts... all current standard servos can handle LiFe 2 cell directly... you do not need that regulator.
Now is the RC switch connected to the CB200 or to the MAXBEC2D PLUS?? you should remove the regulator have the LiFe feed directly into the CB200.. the RC switch (R3) should be plugged directly to CB200. One initial cycle of the switch on transmitter maybe required and then after it should be solid...

Actually fully charged life batteries are 3.625/cell or 7.25 volts for a 2S pack, nominal voltage is 3.3 volts/cell or 6.6 volts as David stated. Some servos may not be too happy at that voltage.
I would certainly set the voltage output, on the MAXBEC2D PLUS, to what ever servo has the lowest voltage rating, but I would think the 6.0 volt setting would be safe to use with most modern servos.

Hi all,
Thanks for the replies regarding regulator use,
the servos i am using are rated at 6 volts max hence the safe setting of 5.7 volts on the regulator,
Is it safe to input batteries that can be as high as 7 volts without a regulator ,when the servos are rated at 6 volts?
I can see it would be better not to have to use a regulator,
I am not using high voltage servos,
Would setting the regulator at 5.7 volts cause it to switch off
Do you think that the way i am using and setting the regulator would cause it to switch off?
regards Ray

I would get rid of that RC wireless switch too. Why have it? Just use the bind plug as a switch. I don't like things that can remotely turn off my radio. Just another thing to go wrong.

I have yet to find a servo that had issues with a 2S LiFe. I have seen some Futaba's that say 4.8v only but I would never use a servo that had that spec. If all the servos that you have in the Reaction have 6.00 volt specs, you should be fine without the regulator.

I agree with the direct use of LiFe (2 cell) on standard servos... you will be fine - get rid off the regulator and plug both LiFe barrettes to CB200...
As for the RC switch I use that on all my jets.. you can not accidentally flip the switch (I use locking switch) and turn the on board system off... there is a secondary confirmation using F5 to confirm system shut down and if not confirmed within 5 sec the system remains ON.
The range of RC switch is about 30 feet any ways... it a real cool - safe option you can add.. this is one of the benefits of the Jeti transmitter (system) which is not available in any other system...
Enjoy..

If that is what really happened it would be first. Wireless switch (R3/RSW) never ever turned Off by itself.
We pretty much never heard anything like that. I would suspect more human error, if the wireless switch was turned Off and disconnected it remembers last state. If you plug it back, system will turn itself OFF or On, depending on last state.
Like LA Jet guy mentioned, it's multistep process. You have to flip switch, and click confirmation on the screen. Might by that switch was not assign properly. Please try to retrace your steps and recreate the problem.
