The PowerBox SparkSwitch RS Unregulated is a compact ignition switch with rotational speed monitoring and galvanic isolation between the receiver and ignition system. It allows convenient on/off control from the transmitter, with status indicated by an external LED or telemetry message. The unregulated version passes the full input voltage up to 13.0V, and the RPM monitor works with all major telemetry systems including PowerBox, Jeti, and Futaba. A machined aluminium heatsink ensures reliable operation in demanding conditions.
