2 — INSTALLATION & WIRING: Throttle
WIRING: Throttle
Wiring for various throttles is described below. They are categorized as Type 1,
2, 3, and 4 throttles in the program menu of the handheld programmer. Note:
In the text, throttles are identified by their nominal range and not by their actual
active range.
Appropriate throttles for use with the 1243GEN2 controller include two-
wire 5kΩ–0 throttles (“Type 1”); 0–5V throttles, current source throttles,
three-wire potentiometer throttles, and electronic throttles wired for single-
ended operation (all “Type 2”); two-wire 0–5kΩ throttles (“Type 3”), and
0–5V and three-wire potentiometer throttles wired for wigwag operation
(“Type 4”). The operating specifications for these throttle types are summarized
in Table 1. Refer to Section 3: Programmable Parameters, for information on
the effects of the Throttle Deadband and Throttle Max parameters on the
minimum and maximum throttle thresholds.
If the throttle you are planning to use is not covered, contact the Curtis
office nearest you.

Notes: The Throttle Deadband and Throttle Max thresholds are valid for nominal 5kΩ
potentiometers or 5V sources with the default Throttle Deadband and Throttle
Max parameter settings of 0% and 100% respectively. These threshold values
will change with variations in the Throttle Deadband and Throttle Max param-
eter settings
.
The HPD thresholds are 25% of the active throttle range and therefore
dependent on the programmed Throttle Deadband and Throttle Max settings
(which define the active range).
The wiper voltage is measured with respect to B-.
The wiper resistance is measured from pot low to pot wiper. The potentiometer
must be disconnected from the controller when making this measurement.
* With a 0% Throttle Deadband setting, there is no neutral point on
a Type 4 throttle. A Throttle Deadband setting of at least 8% is
recommended for Type 4 throttles.
