Hobbyshop247 Servo Speed Reducer

Hobbyshop247 Servo Speed Reducer

Plug the Speed Reducer into the desired channel of your receiver, and plug the lead from your servo (or servo wye) into the male servo lead coming from the circuit board.  The set screw on the blue trim pot, located near the top of the main circuit board, is used to control the speed of the servo.  Turn the set screw fully clockwise (CW) for normal servo speed with no speed reduction, fully counter-clockwise (CCW) for maximum speed reduction, or anywhere in between for partial speed reduction.  The red LED indicates three possible conditions:  Slow Blinking = No Signal;  Solid On = No Speed Reduction;  Fast Blinking = Reduced Speed Setting

Please note that if you make any change to the speed setting while the receiver is on, you must cycle power to the receiver (turn if off and back on) for the new speed setting to take effect.  This circuit can also be used in conjunction with our Servo Reverser to cause flap or retract servos to turn in opposite directions for correct function.  Instructions are included for easy installation and use.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  This device will only work on a regular, proportional servo.  It will NOT work on a retract-type servo, as they do not recognize any servo positions other than clockwise (CW) and counter-clockwise (CCW).  Retract servos cannot be slowed down, even by a  transmitter that includes this function, as their design and electronics do not allow it.
