The HUGE difference between the XGuard PLUS and the other units on the market. Not even close to XGuard! You don't want to miss this video.
If you have an EVO vControl please activate the temperature telemetry to have the activation alarm as shown in this video
The red light is activated only when there is current consumption.
When you disconnect the power if there is no consumption the unit will not sense a drop in voltage so it won’t trigger on.
When you’re flying the simple forces of the blades make the consumption constant so it will trigger instantly. To activate the switch off function you need to Press the off button while powering it up so you see all the LED lights flash three times.
You can always know if the radio switch feature is activated by looking at the number of times all the lights blink when powered up.
Please watch this video for more information.
Futaba Telemetry
How to connect to Futaba telemetry.
To connect to a Futaba System you need to buy a Futaba Temperature Sensor so that you can use it to simulate a temperature alarm to indicate that the XGuard Plus has been activated.
This video explains how to program a Futaba radio for XGuard telemetry
XGuard Plus C60 V3 Power Backup System 60F w/Telemetry, Alarm, Remote Off & Radio Switch ports
Great solution for a back up. Not too much weight. Great for midsize to full size Helis.

Backup
Backup guard is cheaper than a set of blades so I have one on every heli!

C60
Works great. The C60 gives at least a minute of power. Have it setup on a 3 way switch on Jeti radio (which you have to throw twice) to turn off. Great little piece of insurance.

The V3’s are great! Plenty of juice to auto a 700 if there’s a power failure, even with its compa...
The V3’s allow you to run the servos up to 12v, the V2’s required you to run the servos at 7.4v or lower. XGuard is a great company to deal with and they will upgrade your V2’s to V3’s for (currently) under $15! I haven’t used any of the telemetry features, I use them simply as a backup for power failure and set it up on a switch using macrocells on a Vcontrol radio. See Auggie’s video on YouTube for instructions. This saved my helicopter when a power lead got so hot it un-soldered itself and I lost power to the motor. It paid for itself probably 7x over in that moment

Mostly Perfect
Works when needed and plenty of time for recovery and auto. Only negative thing is the TX remote off functionality is inconsistent and do remember it takes two switch throws to turn it off.
