OUTPUT CH (Channel select)
Select the “Channel” line if necessary using the arrow
buttons. Press the SET button of the right-hand four-way
button to highlight the v
alue fi eld. Now use the arrow
buttons of the right-hand four-way button to set the
desired channel (e. g. 01). The following parameters
always refer to the channel which you set at this
point:
REVERSE (servo reverse)
Sets the direction of rotation of the servo connected to
the selected control channel: ON / OFF
CENTER (servo centre)
The “CENTRE” line displays the current pulse width in
µs of the control channel selected in the “OUTPUT CH”
line.
The displayed value varies according to the current posi-
tion of the transmitter control which affects this control
channel, and also its trim position.
A pulse width of 1500 µs corresponds to the standard
centre position, and therefore the usual servo centre
setting.
To change this value, select the “CENTRE” line and
press the SET button. Move the corresponding transmit-
ter control to the desired position, and press the SET
b
utton again to store the current tr
ansmitter control
position. This position is now stored as the new neutral
position.
TRIM (trim position)
The purpose of the “TRIM” line is to provide fi ne adjust-
ment of the neutral position of a servo connected to
the control channel selected in the “OUTPUT CH” line.
Adjustments are made in 1 µs increments using the ar-
row buttons of the right-hand four-way button. The value
in the “CENTRE” line can be adjusted over the range
+/- 120 µs around the TRIM value set here.
Default setting: 0 µs
TRAVEL–/+ (servo travel –/+)
This option can be used to place a limit on servo travel
(control surface travel) for the servo connected to the
control channel selected in the “OUTPUT CH” line. The
value is set separately for each side of centre.
The setting can be altered separately for both directions
within the range 30 ... 150%.
Default setting: 150% on both sides.
PERIOD (cycle time)
In this line you can determine the frame time for the
individual channel signals. This setting applies to all
control channels.
If you use digital servos exclusively, it is safe to set a
cycle time of 10 ms.
If you are using a mixture of servo types, or exclusively
analogue servos, it is essential to set 20 ms, otherwise
the servos will be “over-stressed” and may response by
jittering or making rumbling noises.

Before we describe this menu a few words as a re-
minder:
“Doing nothing” is the worst thing you can do in this
regard. The default setting for the HoTT receiver is
“HOLD” mode.
If interference should occur with hold-mode in force, and
