Orbit JETRONIC-BOX – Manual 1.2
Introduction
The Orbit JETRONIC-BOX is a universal R/C processor for use in ediu -sized and large odel
aircraft. Two R/C inputs can be progra ed to control up to three R/C outputs, for exa ple to
i ple ent a landing gear with door control or a cockpit with open/close and lock functions, where
even an R/C trans itter with icroprocessor control is not sufficient. Since such odel functions
are often realised using pneu atic syste s with an air tank and a pneu atic cylinder, the
JETRONIC-BOX also features an air pressure easure ent and display function as well as the
corresponding adjustable pressure onitoring function.
To read the current operating data and to adjust settings, a suitable display and progra ing unit
(Engine Data Ter inal) is required. The following devices are supported:
Orbit JETRONIC-EDT, no.: 0830
Orbit ONBOARD-EDT, no.: 0832
Graupner BOOSTER-EDT no.: 6813.10
Graupner ONBOARD-EDT no.: 6813.7
These units are equipped with an illu inated alphanu eric display and can be connected and
disconnected while the syste is running, or they can be per anently installed in the odel
(ONBOARD-EDT).
Besides the current operating para eters, such as the battery voltage, it is also possible to display
additional infor ation, such as air pressure or R/C inputs and outputs. All display and adjust ent
functions are accessible via a enu-controlled plain text dialog. The JETRONIC-BOX is connected
to the R/C receiver via RC-1 nor ally, but RC-2 can be used as well (additional function).
Using a USB cable (type Orbit Jetronic-SIO2USB), the JETRONIC-BOX can be updated via the
Internet, aking it possible to install new functions or extensions. To do so, use the JetLog PC
software shipped with the Jetronic-SIO2USB cable.
This akes the JETRONIC-BOX suitable for future odel projects, too – for exa ple, flashing
position lights, warning lights or special control functions are possible.

EDT Display Unit (Engine Data Terminal)
EDT-LEFT and EDT-RIGHT are configurable function displays for operating para eters. In the
BOX-SETUP enu, you can choose what should be displayed in the LEFT and RIGHT areas.
In the BOX-SETUP enu under 12:EDT→LEFT and 13:EDT→RIGHT, you can choose either to
display one of the R/C ports (RC1 to RC5) or an air pressure value [bar or psi].
In the lower line of the display, the voltage of the receiver syste is shown as a bar graph that also
has a e ory function for the ini u value (voltage under load). The easure ent range can
be adapted to the battery type used in the BOX-SETUP enu under 10:R/C-BATTERY.

1:BOX-SETUP – Basic Settings for the Box
10:R/C-BATTERY
Specifies the type of battery used (required for a correct voltage display).
Ni = NiCd or NiMh, Li = lithiu ion
Default setting: Ni4 (4.8V)
11:INFO-LED
Specifies the display function for the info LED on the top side of the device.
OFF: No info LED function
RC1: Status of the RC1 re ote control input: ON / OFF / NO signal => LED flashes.
RC2: Status of the RC2 re ote control input: ON / OFF / NO signal => LED flashes.
Or display of the position switches if 20:RC2-MODE is set to POS.-SWITCH.
AIR: Air pressure display via odulated flashing of the LED between 14:AIR-FAIL (LED => OFF)
and 15:AIR-NOMINAL (LED => ON).
ON: Info LED always on
Default setting: RC1
12:EDT~LEFT
13:EDT~RIGHT
Selects the display function for the left or right display area on the EDT.
RC1: Re ote control input RC1 – range: ON / OFF / NO
A ! arks the signal as FAIL signal, controlled by 14:AIR-FAIL and 24:@AIR-FAIL.
A * arks the signal as preset-defined, configured by 21:RC1-PRESET.
RC2: Re ote control input RC2 – range: ON / OFF / NO
A ! arks the signal as FAIL signal, controlled by 14:AIR-FAIL and 24:@AIR-FAIL.
A * arks the signal as preset-defined, configured by 23:RC2-PRESET.
AIR[bar]: Air pressure display in bar (kg/c 2) – range: 0.0 – 10.0 bar
A ! arks the signal as FAIL signal, i.e. pressure dopped below 14:AIR-FAIL.
AIR[psi]: Air pressure display in psi (lb/inch2) – range: 0 – 145 psi
A ! arks the signal as FAIL signal, i.e. pressure dopped below 14:AIR-FAIL.
RC /4/5: Output RC3/4/5 as servo travel in % – range: ±150 %
Default setting: RC1 und AIR[bar]
14:AIR-FAIL
Specifies the ini u air pressure for the LED display (11:INFO-LED) as well as the safety
setting (24:@AIR-FAIL).
This para eter should be set to the ini u pressure value where the landing gear is still able to
extend and lock safely.
Range: 0.0 bar – 15:AIR-NOMINAL
Default setting: 5.0 bar
