=== Introduction ===
Congratulations on purchasing the '''KAVAN Smart PRO T75''', a high-performance digital dual battery backer with advanced telemetry features. It contains a charging circuit and touch switch functionality. The battery switch is ideal for mid-size models that use high-voltage servos without voltage stabilisation.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
It is suitable for models equipped with dual receiver batteries or an ESC battery eliminator circuit (BEC) used as a primary power source, combined with a small backup battery. The battery switch prefers its primary battery input, and in case of a voltage drop it automatically switches to the secondary input. The charging circuit may be optionally enabled to charge the secondary battery from the primary input/BEC.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
The device is designed to turn on/off the electronics in your model, it can replace a mechanical switch as well. The battery switch remembers its last operating state, and if the battery is accidentally disconnected, it will automatically boot up as soon as the battery is connected again.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

|-
|'''Dual battery installation (without BEC):'''
The E2/E3 ports on the receiver side may be used for additional EX/EX Bus sensors. The sensors are switched ON/OFF in the same way as the receiver. In this case, do not connect any devices to the E2/E3 ports on the battery-inputs side.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
|'''Installation with ESC BEC and a backup battery:'''
Use the E3 port at the battery-inputs side for the ESC telemetry. In addition, you can bypass the throttle signal between the receiver and the ESC1 port of the T75.	
The E2 port at the receiver side may be used for an additional EX/EX Bus sensor. In such a case, do not connect any device to the E2 port at the battery-inputs side.

|'''Dual ESC installation:'''
Use the E2/E3 ports at the battery-inputs side for the ESC telemetry. In addition, you can bypass the throttle signal between the receiver and the ESC1/ESC2 port of the T75.	
Don't connect any devices to the E2/E3 ports at the receiver side.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
|'''Optional mechanical/electronic switch connection:'''
If using the device in combination with R3/RSW Wireless Switch you have to change the T75 setting from "Touch" to "Electronic" switch option. For long-term storage, the backup battery has to be disconnected due to the constant load of the R3/RSW Wireless Switch.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
The Hall/Magnetic Switch is available as a standard accessory of the KAVAN Smart PRO T75.

</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
=== Battery backup function ===
The battery switch generally uses its primary battery input B1 as a main power source. If the B1 voltage drops below the configured Voltage threshold value, it can switch to the B2 input. In such a case, the source with a higher voltage will be used. As soon as the B1 voltage returns above the threshold value (+ additional hysteresis), the T75 switches automatically back to B1, no matter the voltage of the B2 input. There are several applications where the user can benefit from the T75:
[[File:Smart PRO T75 - Battery backup.png|right|frameless|360x360px]]
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
* '''ESC-Battery combination:''' Set the Voltage threshold value below the voltage of the battery eliminator circuit (BEC). In this case, the BEC output will be used exclusively while the secondary input (B2) will act just as a backup battery. Please note that both the ESC BEC and the backup battery must handle the full load of the attached servos.
* '''Equal dual battery discharging:''' Set the Voltage threshold value above the maximum battery voltage. Both batteries will be discharged equally keeping equal voltage. The batteries need to have the same chemistry, number of cells and similar capacity. Set the Voltage hysteresis value to correspond to the battery properties (LiPo/Li-Ion – high or medium, LiFe – medium or low).
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
The T75 always drains power from a single battery input. This solution is robust against a spontaneous battery shortcut. The active battery input is marked with a red LED.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
=== Battery charging circuit ===
The battery switch contains a simple battery charging circuit designed for 2S Li-XXX without balancing. The charging may be optionally enabled to keep the backup battery (B2) always ready without needing to remove it from the model (however, we recommend charging the battery with a balancer at least once a month). Several safety conditions are used during the charging:
* The B1 voltage must be higher than the B2 voltage and the B1 must be selected/indicated by the LED.
* The B2 voltage must be within the specified limits (5.5–8.3 V for LiPo/LiIon; 5.0–7.1 V for LiFe).
* The T75 never charges to a full capacity.
* The voltage difference must be lower than 5 V.
* The temperature must be below 70 °C.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
=== Extension Ports ===
The battery switch offers two additional configurable JR-type extension ports. These ports allow you to extend the device functionality in combination with some RC systems.
* '''Expander EX''' – useful if you need to connect additional Duplex EX/EX Bus sensors to the battery switch.
* '''Digital Input''' – the state of the signal pin is transferred back to the transmitter over the telemetry channel.
* '''Digital Output''' – the state of the signal pin depends on the value of the appropriate bus channel (log.1 above 1.5 ms).

* Place the touch button anywhere on your model on a surface made of nonconductive material. You can place the touch button also inside the fuselage with a maximum thickness of up to 3 mm.
* Make the status LED visible from outside the fuselage and put the “touch” sticker on top of the touch surface.
* Connect the receiver battery to the battery switch and briefly touch the button. The status LED should blink once. If not, please increase the touch sensitivity parameter in the configuration.
* Touch and hold the button for about 2 seconds. After the initial blink, the LED will start blinking again. At this moment, release the button. The main output will be activated:

=== Telemetry and settings ===
[[File:Smart PRO T75 - Telemetry and settings.png|center|frameless|960x960px]]
The battery switch is compatible with JETIBOX/SMART-BOX and you can use it for programming. The JETIBOX menu is divided into three sections:
* '''Actual values''' – displays the latest telemetry values (current, voltage, capacity, temperature) including minimums and maximums.
** The main screen shows the device temperature with the voltage and current of the active battery. If the charging is enabled and active, the “CHG” status is displayed.
** In the Capacity screen, you can press left+right buttons simultaneously to reset the measured capacity. The asterisk marks the active battery input.
** The “Time” screen shows a cumulative time of the primary and secondary battery input, meaning how long each source has been used to power the device.
** Reset Min/Max - simultaneously press left+right buttons to reset all minimums and maximums.
* '''Settings''' – basic settings of the sensor
** '''Language''' – you can choose the language of the JETIBOX screen.
** '''Switch type''' (Touch/Electronic/Mechanical/Hall/Button). You can specify which type of switch will be used to turn the device on and off. If you choose the Electronic option, you can connect any electronic switch with voltage output (e.g. magnetic or radio-controlled switch).
** '''Touch sensitivity''' – if the integrated touch switch is used, you can increase its sensitivity by editing this value. Please note that increasing the sensitivity will allow you to install the battery switch directly inside thicker fuselages. On the other hand, this will also make the touch sensor more vulnerable to erroneous inputs.
** '''Voltage threshold''' – specifies the switchover voltage for B1 and B2 inputs, see the Battery Backup Function chapter.
** '''Voltage hysteresis''' – this parameter is taken into account when switching supply from one battery to the other and back. It is important to keep the hysteresis low to enable equal discharging of batteries. On the other hand, it must be high enough to prevent fast battery switching under load. There are three possible options:
*** High hysteresis (LiPo) – approx. 1.2 V. This is a default and recommended option for LiPo(LiIon)/LiPo(LiIon) or ESC-LiPo(LiIon) combination. This option can be used together with batteries of high internal resistance.
*** Medium – approx 0.5 V. This option can be used for equal discharging low-resistance LiPo(LiIon) batteries.
*** Low (LiFe) – approx. 0.3 V. Use this option together with low-resistance LiFe batteries.
** '''Capacity reset''' – Setting up this parameter will specify at which moment the capacity is reset to zero. Available options:
*** Power-On (default) – capacity is reset every time after connecting the battery.
*** Voltage-Change – capacity is reset after connecting the battery with a different voltage (by 15 % or more). This way the sensor may distinguish between charged and discharged battery.
*** Manual – capacity is never reset automatically.
** '''Charging''' – you can enable the charging function for 2S LiIon/LiPo or 2S LiFe secondary battery (B2).
** '''E1/E2 Function''' – choose the preferred function of the two extension ports (possible options: EX/EX Bus telemetry input, digital input, digital output).
** '''E1/E2 Out Channel''' – if the digital output function is selected, it is necessary to choose the appropriate channel.
* '''Service''' – In this menu you can view the device version and reset it to the default factory configuration.
