2. Safety Information

Please read and understand all safety instructions before using this product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage, injury, or electric shock.

• Adult Supervision: This product is intended for adult use (minimum age 15 years). Children should only use under direct adult supervision.
• Correct Polarity: Always ensure correct polarity when connecting batteries. Incorrect polarity can cause severe damage to batteries, the harness, and your RC equipment.
• Avoid Short Circuits: Prevent the positive and negative terminals from touching. A short circuit can cause batteries to overheat, catch fire, or explode.
• Insulation: Ensure all connections are properly insulated to prevent accidental short circuits.
• Battery Compatibility: Use only batteries that are compatible with your RC vehicle and the XT60 connectors. Do not exceed the voltage or current ratings of your equipment.
• Inspect Before Use: Always inspect the harness for any signs of damage (frayed wires, cracked connectors, exposed conductors) before each use. Do not use a damaged harness.
• Storage: Store the harness in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and flammable materials.

3. Package Contents

The package includes:

• 1 x Integy XT60 Series 2-Battery Connector Adapter Wire Harness (Model C24408)

4. Setup and Installation

This harness is designed to connect two batteries to a single XT60 input on your RC device (e.g., Electronic Speed Controller - ESC). The specific wiring of the harness determines if it connects batteries in parallel (for increased capacity/run time) or in series (for increased voltage).

General Connection Steps:

1. Identify Harness Type: Carefully examine the wiring of your specific harness to determine if it is configured for parallel or series connection. This is crucial for safe operation. If unsure, consult a qualified RC technician or the manufacturer.
2. Prepare Batteries: Ensure both batteries are fully charged and in good condition. If connecting in series, ensure both batteries have the same voltage and capacity. If connecting in parallel, ensure both batteries have the same voltage.
3. Connect Batteries: Plug the XT60 connectors from your two batteries into the two female XT60 connectors on the adapter harness. Ensure a firm and secure connection.
4. Connect to Device: Plug the single male XT60 connector of the adapter harness into the XT60 input of your RC vehicle's ESC or power distribution board.
5. Verify Connections: Double-check all connections for correct polarity and security before powering on your RC vehicle.

Important: Always ensure that the combined voltage (for series) or capacity (for parallel) is compatible with your RC vehicle's specifications. Exceeding these limits can damage your equipment.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the harness is correctly installed and all connections are secure, operate your RC vehicle as usual. The adapter harness will facilitate the combined power delivery from your two batteries.

• Monitor Battery Levels: Pay attention to your RC vehicle's battery level indicators. When using two batteries, the total run time will be extended, but individual battery health should still be monitored.
• Disconnection: Always disconnect the batteries from the harness and the harness from the RC device when not in use. Disconnect the main power source first, then the individual batteries.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your adapter harness.

• Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the wires for cuts, fraying, or exposed conductors. Check connectors for cracks, deformation, or corrosion.
• Cleaning: If necessary, gently clean the connectors with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using liquids or solvents.
• Storage: Store the harness in a clean, dry, and cool environment, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and corrosive materials.
• Avoid Stress: Do not pull on the wires to disconnect. Always grasp the connector housing firmly.

7. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your adapter harness, consider the following:

• No Power/Intermittent Connection:
  • Ensure all XT60 connectors are fully seated and secure.
  • Check batteries for charge and proper function.
  • Inspect the harness for visible damage (cuts, breaks, bent pins).
  • Verify correct polarity of all connections.
• Overheating:
  • Ensure the current draw from your RC vehicle does not exceed the harness's rating.
  • Check for any short circuits in the wiring or connectors.
  • Ensure batteries are compatible and in good condition.

If problems persist, discontinue use and contact Integy customer support.
