Overview

The SpektrumT AR20400T PowerSafeT receiver is a feature-packed 20 channel receiver with integrated full-range telemetry. Spektrum PowerSafe receivers are designed for models using numerous servos and accessories that draw excess current such as those found on giant-scale airplanes and jet models. They feature a robust power bus designed to manage high-current loads, as well as dual 13AWG battery input leads with IC3T connectors for use with larger battery packs. This makes it possible to support high-current systems straight through the receiver without the need for a separate power distribution system.

If you have a DSMX®/DSM2® transmitter capable of 11ms frame rates, the AR20400T will deliver lightning-fast input-to-output response that is perfect for high-performance applications such as aggressive 3D , IMAC, and Turbine airplanes. Each receiver includes 4 SRXL2 remote receivers that take full advantage of Spektrum MultiLinkT technology. This patented technology eliminates the reflected signal fading and antenna blind spots that can affect all 2.4GHz systems, helping insure a solid connection between you and your aircraft. As an added measure of safety, the Spektrum designed the AR20400T receiver with a proprietary soft switch. Allowing servo current to be routed around the switch, so, should the switch fail for any reason, power to the system will not be interrupted.

A ground-breaking feature on the AR20400T PowerSafe Receiver is the built-in receiver battery energy sensors. Giving pilots added awareness of the load and mAh used by the servos, retracts, lights, etc. used by each battery.

Each come with built-in connection ports for RPM, Flight Pack Voltage and Temperature sensors as well as an X-Bus port for additional telemetry options.

Patented PowerSafeT Redundancy System
Patented PowerSafeT Redundancy System

The SpektrumT AR20400T is the ultimate solution for powering high-current draw radio systems. In aircraft with multiple high-current draw servos (e.g. giant-scale aircraft, jets, etc.), PowerSafe redundancy expertly manages power between both connected receiver batteries with true dual battery redundancy. Each battery is isolated and if one fails/shorts the other seamlessly takes over.

 

Innovative Battery Capacity Monitor
Innovative Battery Capacity Monitor

The PowerSafe receivers feature dual battery capacity monitoring through telemetry when used with Spektrum AirWareT transmitters. Activate the Auto Config function on the telemetry page in your transmitter to display the capacity consumed by the receiver. The capacity used is stored flight to flight and adds until reset. The capacity can be automatically reset when the battery is charged, allowing easy battery capacity monitoring.

 

Integrated
Integrated "Black Box" Telemetry Logging

When a micro SD card is inserted into the receiver, during operation, flight information will be logged onto a file on the card including flight log data, battery status and other telemetry data stored over time. If not deleted, older data logs recorded will be deleted, keeping the most recent logs. This can be a handy tool to review flight data over time which can be helpful for diagnosis of performance.

 

Forward Programmable

    How does the PowerSafe receiver with dual IC3 inputs protect high-current aircraft?

    The Spektrum PowerSafe receiver with dual battery monitoring, SRXL2 RF redundancy, and USB updates is designed to handle the extreme demands of power-hungry aircraft. With dual 13AWG battery leads and IC3 connectors, each battery is isolated to prevent failure propagation. If one pack fails or shorts, the other seamlessly takes over, ensuring uninterrupted operation. The integrated soft switch routes servo current around the switch itself, so even in the event of switch failure, the system remains powered. This architecture supports continuous current draw up to 35A, with burst capacity reaching 50A—ideal for jets, IMAC aircraft, and large-scale aerobats.

    What telemetry capabilities are built into this full-range DSMX receiver?

    The Spektrum P-SPMAR20400T telemetry receiver with SRXL2 ports, USB updates, and SD flight log offers a comprehensive telemetry suite without requiring external modules.

Combined with high-speed 11ms frame rates, this integration ensures responsive control and real-time telemetry for high-performance aircraft.

    How does MultiLink™ RF redundancy improve signal reliability?

    RF integrity is critical in large-scale and turbine-powered aircraft. The DSMX telemetry receiver with XBUS expansion, RPM/voltage/temp ports, and status LED indicators includes four SRXL2 remote receivers that leverage Spektrum’s MultiLink™ technology. This system eliminates antenna blind spots and reflected signal fading common in 2.4GHz setups. Each receiver can be placed strategically throughout the airframe using the included extensions, ensuring robust signal coverage from all angles. The integrated status LED provides real-time feedback on receiver readiness, remote connectivity, and SD card recording status—helping pilots confirm system health before takeoff.

    What makes this PowerSafe receiver ideal for jet and IMAC aircraft?

    The PowerSafe receiver for giant-scale aircraft with battery capacity monitor and sleep mode is purpose-built for platforms that demand high channel counts, telemetry depth, and power redundancy. With 20 channels, pilots can configure complex servo layouts, retracts, lighting systems, and more. The battery capacity monitor tracks mAh usage across flights and resets automatically when fully charged packs are installed. Sleep mode allows pilots to power the system on or off directly from their transmitter, streamlining field operations and eliminating the need for physical switches. Rubber grommet hard mounts and minimalistic labeling support clean installations in tight fuselage compartments.

    How does Forward Programming simplify receiver setup?

    Configuration is streamlined with Forward Programming, allowing pilots to adjust failsafe settings, servo frame rates, and voltage parameters directly from a compatible Spektrum transmitter. No external devices or software are required. This wireless setup method is especially useful for tuning aircraft systems at the field, enabling quick adjustments without disassembly.
