***NOTICE*** EzOSD current sensor issue

[ssassen]

Dear valued customer,

It has come to our attention that a crucial step in production of our EzOSD current sensors has been omitted on a limited number of current sensors produced.

More specifically pins of the EzBUS and TX PWR connectors that needed clipping prior to the foam backed metallic foil sticker being put on have not been clipped. This results in the chance of these pins piercing through the foam backing of the sticker and being pressed against the metallic foil of the sticker, causing for a short and potentially a defect on the current sensor.

In order to diagnose whether your current sensor is affected by this issue a simple test needs to be performed which is outlined in the below noted document.

For current sensors that are affected by this issue the procedure to get them back to working order is outlined in the document as well. In the majority of cases this comes down to the following:

1) Remove (part of) the shrinkwrap
2) Remove part of the metallic foil of the sticker
3) Reapply shrinkwrap or tape to cover up the exposed area
5) Verify proper operation

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience if you are affected by this issue and hope you are willing to work with us to get your EzOSD's current sensor back to working order.

Thank you!

On behalf of Team ImmersionRC,

Really glad i came across this after the fact. The only saving grace is that i only let it smoke for 10 seconds before pulling the power. Started smelling it as soon as i turned on the switch that powers up the Tx and cam. Disconnected it before the damage was permanent, but one of the runs on the board leading up to the connector for the Tx had started burning up the coating and was ready to pop like a fuse. Decided not to go this route, instead, soldered an extra set of leads to plug in to the Tx and cam directly from the battery, worked just fine.
Will take a look at the area on the back of the current sensor.

I'm glad I've read this before powering up my Ez-OSD... I better check it before powering it up

Thanks

Couldn't think of a better way to say it, so I just quoted him!

So far ImmersionRC seems to be doing an outstanding job - my sensor was not affected by this but I'm glad I checked before I get going on installation!

Thanks!
