Lumenier QAV250 Fury Power Distribution Board

Lumenier QAV250 Fury Power Distribution Board

The Lumenier QAV250 Fury Power Distribution Board (PDB) is an upgraded version of the QAV250 Power Distribution Board, the Fury Power Distribution Board allows for an integrated FPV setup and simple radio controlled wiring. The Fury also provides a few additional features with current sensing, filtered power to the FPV equipment and an option to install a TBS CORE module. Due to the increase in size of the Fury PDB it will provide added rigidity to the QAV250 airframe.

The ESC’s are soldered to the board which means that the board layout is very tidy and modular in design. The Fury was designed with the OpenPilot flight controller board in mind, these requiring only two cables to install the flight system and another two cables which are included to finish the FPV system.

At the front of the Fury board there is a spot to install an optional TBS CORE module. This provides the best separation between the FPV system and Radio Controller flight systems, these two systems need to be spaced apart as the core is known to produce noise and cause video interference. The Fury PDB also provides a simple and very handy OSD (On-Screen Display) to read battery consumption, voltage and receiver signal strength.

The QAV250 Fury Power Distribution Board (PDB) can also be set up to work as a stand-alone (without CORE). Camera and video transmitters plug easily into the sockets with the provided cables; there are solder pads to connect wires directly if needed. The additional auxiliary power ports make it easy to add in additional systems like alarms, beepers, video transmitters and more. The Fury is made from the same high strength fiberglass-reinforced epoxy laminate as the QAV250 Power Distribution Board. Using the QAV250 Fury Power Distribution Board means that the components are protected inside the “cavity” on the QAV250 platform, and with two additional mounting holes in the front you will see the extra rigidity in the QAV250 Airframes.
