5. Overload Protection (OLP)

OLP is a “protection against servo damage” feature.

When a servo is at “full stall torque” and the servo

power amplier is sending the maximum power to

the servo motor, the OLP circuit will engage and

reduce the power being sent to the motor. This act of

power reduction could help prevent a critical failure

of one or more servo components. When the servo

is fully stalled the OLP circuit will reduce the power

from the servo amp to the servo, by the percentage

selected. Selecting a value of 20%, will reduce the

power sent to the motor by 20%. This eectively

reduces the servo power to 80% of its potential. The

factory default setting is always “OFF”.

6. Center & End Point Setting (EPA)

With the EPA setup, users can customize the center

point and left/right servo travel end points. This can

be helpful to ne tune your models control surfaces.

To set the Center and Endpoints, click on the

“Setting” box under the EPA programming section to

enter the EPA programming Section.

NOTE – If OLP Rate is a function your

HITEC digital servo supports, the OLP rate

choice screen shown will be active.

WARNING

The rst setting is the center point. When you have

reached your desired center point click on “CENTER”

to set this point and continue on to the left and right

endpoints. Click “OK” when prompted by the pop-up

screen.

NOTE – You can adjust the EPA setting

by moving the slide in the adjustment

bar to make larger adjustments. You can

click the arrows “< >” on each end to

make single point adjustments.
