The Hitec HFP-30 Digital Servo Programmer and Universal Tester is the ultimate field companion for hobbyists and industrial professionals, offering computer-free precision directly from your toolkit. Equipped with a large, easy-to-read LCD screen and an intuitive jog-dial interface, this lightweight device acts as a three-in-one programmer, tester, and PWM signal reader. It runs on a versatile 4.8V to 8.4V operating voltage and is fully compatible with all Hitec digital servos—including the HS-5XXX, HS-7XXX, brushless HSB-9XXX, and advanced D-Series lines. Whether you need to fine-tune a heavy-duty industrial project or prep a giant-scale aircraft, the HFP-30 puts complete customization in the palm of your hand.
Key Features
- Universal Testing - Tests manual positions and automatic sweeps on any brand of RC servo.
- Hitec Deep Programming - Adjusts endpoints, direction, fail-safe, speed, deadband, and soft start.
- Dual Servo Sync - Synchronizes endpoints and speeds perfectly for dual-servo setups.
- Receiver Signal Reader - Measures and displays incoming PWM transmitter frame rates and pulse widths.
- Smart Protection - Programs Overload Protection (OLP) settings to shield servos from burnout.
- Field-Ready Design - Functions as a completely standalone unit with no computer required.
Standard Programming Functions
- EPA / Neutral Adjustments - Sets custom left, right, and center travel limits
- Servo Sync - Perfectly matches endpoints and speeds for dual-servo linkages
- Rotation Direction - Switches operation between Clockwise (CW) and Counter-Clockwise (CCW).
- Deadband Width - Adjusts center-point sensitivity to eliminate gear chatter or hunting.
- Speed Control - Lowers the maximum transit speed for scale-like surface movements.
- Fail-Safe On/Off - Configures a preset safety position if receiver signal drops.
- Soft Start Rate - Softens initial startup torque to protect gears (D-Series exclusive).
- Overload Protection (OLP) - Defines current-limiting thresholds to avoid burnout (5XXX/7XXX exclusive).
- Resolution Settings - Toggles between high and normal signal precision (5XXX/7XXX exclusive).
- Servo ID Reader - Views and changes internal ID addresses for serial telemetry layouts.
- Factory Reset - Instantly restores all parameters to original manufacturer defaults
Software & Manual
The HFP-30 Field Servo Programmer does not have a dedicated PC software download. Unlike Hitec's PC-bound programmers (like the DPC-11 or the newer web-based DPC-20), the HFP-30 is an entirely standalone, handheld device. All programming, endpoint adjustments, and servo testing are done directly on the device using its built-in LCD screen and jog dial. The USB port on the HFP-30 is only meant for potential future firmware updates issued by Hitec.
If you ever need to reference how to navigate the menus or set specific values (like endpoints or deadbands), you can check the Hitec Product Manuals page to download the HFP-30 instruction manual.
