MPI 6972 Arming Switch with Deans Ultra Connectors
The MPI 6972 Arming Switch provides a convenient external connection point for arming and disarming an electric RC airplane. It features heavy-duty 12 AWG wire, preinstalled Deans Ultra power connectors, and a removable Anderson Powerpole arming key.
Install the receptacle in an accessible location on the fuselage and connect the assembly between the flight battery and electronic speed controller. The main power circuit remains disconnected when the arming key is removed. Inserting the key completes the circuit when the aircraft is secured and ready to operate.
⚡ Target Applications:
- Mid-sized and large electric RC airplanes
- Aircraft power systems equipped with Deans Ultra connectors
- Installations requiring an externally accessible arming point
- Models where accessing the battery connection requires removing a canopy, hatch, or wing
Key Features
- External Arming Access: Allows the aircraft’s main electric power circuit to be connected or disconnected from outside the fuselage.
- Deans Ultra Power Connectors: Preinstalled connectors simplify installation with compatible battery and ESC wiring.
- Anderson Powerpole Arming Key: The removable red-and-black loop key completes the power circuit when inserted.
- Heavy-Duty Wiring: Uses 12 AWG red-and-black wire for electric aircraft power-system installations.
- Fuselage-Mount Receptacle: The black housing and mounting flange provide a clean, accessible installation point.
- Mounting Hardware Included: Supplied with two screws, two nuts, and two washers for installation.
How It Works
- Mount the black receptacle in an accessible location on the aircraft’s fuselage.
- Connect the arming-switch assembly between the flight battery and ESC using the Deans Ultra connectors.
- Leave the Anderson Powerpole arming key removed while transporting or preparing the aircraft.
- When the aircraft is secured and ready, insert the arming key to complete the power circuit.
- After operation, remove the arming key to disconnect the circuit.
