FS1 – Failsafe (with delayed response)
The AL5 is designed for R/C model submarines and is an on-board system which will Automatically keep your sub on an even keel when submerged. Connected between the receiver and the stern planes servo, the AL5 senses the slightest change in the boat's angle and proportionally moves the stern planes to compensate. Microprocessor controlled, AL5 has three user-selectable levels of sensitivity. AL5 measures only 1.1” x .75” x .3” (28mm x 19mm x 8mm) and is compatible with all radio systems. Simple 'plug & play' installation with full instructions. The AL5 has also been used for controlling ballast on an R/C Sailing Dinghy!

The FS1 is a ‘servo setting’ and ‘switching’ missing pulse detector-type 'failsafe' which monitors the output signal from the receiver. When connected between the receiver and any servo the FS1 will automatically set your servo to a pre-set position on the loss of a signal from your receiver, or should the Transmitter be accidentally turned off. **Plus** it can also control (switch on or off) any electronic device which is normally operated from the receiver on the loss of a signal.
The pre-set servo position can be easily adjusted in either direction. To prevent false activation in case of a momentary ‘glitch’ the FS1 has a built-in delay of 7 seconds, (so it is NOT suitable for use as a throttle servo failsafe of fast boats or cars) and is ideal for use on R/C subs to operate a servo and/or a solenoid or motor to ‘blow ballast’. If you require an ‘instant’ failsafe, then please use our FS2 which has no built in time delay.
The FS1 measures only 1 1/2” x 3/4” x1/2” (38mm x 19mm x 9mm) and is compatible all radio systems. Note: Please be aware that some low cost receivers can cause problems with failsafe’s (not just ours!) as they do not put out the correct ‘missing pulse signal’ on loss of signal, so always use a good quality receiver for ‘mission critical’ models like R/C submarines, Fast Electric /IC boats or fast R/C Cars.

FS2 – Failsafe (with instant response)
All functions and details as per the FS1 above, but with zero delay, so can be used where an instant response is required e.g. to close a throttle on a Fast Electric or I/C boat or car on loss of signal.
