5 — INITIAL SETUP
2 Control setup (see page 36)
Use these guidelines to set the parameters in the Control menu initially:
3 Throttle (see page 28)
The Throttle Type parameter must be set to match the type of throttle you will
be using (Type 1–5). If you are using a Type 5 three-step switch throttle, skip
to procedure
4 after setting the Throttle Type to 5.
If you are using a Type 1–4 throttle, use the following procedure to adjust
the Throttle Deadband and Throttle Max parameters to match the range of
your throttle; this will ensure that the controller output is operating over its
full range. It is advisable to allow some buffer around the absolute full range
of the throttle mechanism to allow for throttle resistance variations over time
and temperature as well as variations in the tolerance of potentiometer values
between individual throttle mechanisms.

P Gain 0.1
I Gain 0.1
Accel Slip Motor Frequency – (Motor Poles × Motor Speed / 120);
typically 3 – 6 Hz.
Decel Slip About 20% lower than Accel Slip; typically 2.5 – 5.5 Hz.
Slip Boost 1
Pull Out Slip According to motor manufacturer; typically 6 – 12 Hz
(about 2 × Accel Slip).
Accel Slip Voltage 3.0
*
Regen Slip Voltage 0.3
**
Accel Compensation 1
Regen Compensation 3
Regen Voltage Offset 0
*Alternatively, you can make a rough estimate of Accel Slip Voltage as follows:
Maximum Motor Current [A] × Motor Stator Resistance [ohms] (phase to phase).
**Alternatively, you can make a rough estimate of Regen Slip Voltage by setting
it to 10% of Accel Slip Voltage.
