Notes: The Upper and Lower Deadbands are valid for nominal 5k potentiometers or 5V
sources with the default Throttle Deadband and Throttle Max parameter settings of 0%
and 100% respectively. These values will change with variations in the Throttle
Deadband and Throttle Max parameter settingssee Section 3, pages 30 and 32.
The HPD threshold is 25% of the active throttle range and is dependent on the
programmed Throttle Deadband and Throttle Max settings.
* With 0% Throttle Deadband, there is no neutral point on a Type 4 throttle. It is recom-
mended that an 8% minimum deadband be used with Type 4 throttles.
