Arming Lockout Harness and Key w/Lanyard

The Castle Creations Arming Lockout Harness and Key (P-CC011-0067-01) adds an extra layer of safety for RC helicopters and aeroplanes. Connected between the Phoenix Edge ESC’s AUX line and your receiver, the removable key — supplied with a handy lanyard — prevents the controller from arming while seated and can force an ARM LOCKOUT to stop the motor if inserted during operation.

Operation

• Key in socket or disconnected arm‑lock wire = ARM LOCKED. A correctly wired and programmed Edge ESC will be incapable of arming when the key is fully inserted. If the key is inserted or the arm‑lock socket loses power, the ESC enters a locked state — even if it is running.
• Key removed and power to socket = ARM UNLOCKED. The ESC must receive a valid low‑throttle signal to arm and run.

Wiring Diagram

• Connect the white wire to the AUX line (white wire) on a Phoenix Edge ESC.
• Connect the red "+" wire to any servo lead via a Y‑harness, or to any empty channel on the receiver.

How It Works

• When the key is fully seated, the controller cannot arm.
• Removing the key allows arming when a low‑throttle command is received on the throttle line.
• Inserting the key while the motor is running forces ARM LOCKOUT, stopping the motor and preventing arming.
