acceleration and deceleration rates as described in Steps 6-a through
6-h will provide good performance throughout. However, you may
want to make further adjustments to them.
6-j. For additional softening of the deceleration response, you could adjust
the Soft Stop Speed parameter to a larger value (see page 13).
6-k. In rare cases, it may be desirable to adjust the Throttle Map parameter.
This parameter can be used, for example, to extend the throttle’s gentle
acceleration range to further enhance maneuverability in confined
areas. See page 16 for a description of Throttle Map.
Key Off deceleration rate
The Key Off Decel parameter sets the decel rate that will be used to slow the
vehicle at key-off or in the event of a major fault.
6-l. Drive fast and turn the key off. The deceleration you experience is
determined by Key Off Decel.
6-m. Adjust the Key Off Decel value to produce the desirable “feel” for
emergency stops: typically as fast as possible without making the
vehicle unstable.
6-n. Note that Key Off Decel should always be set faster than (or equal
to) the fastest forward deceleration rate, Decel High Speed.
E Stop deceleration rate
The E Stop Decel parameter sets the decel rate that will be used when the
vehicle is moving forward and the throttle makes a fast transition through
neutral to a >80% reverse throttle request. This provides a way to stop more
quickly when unexpected conditions arise.
6-o. Drive fast and throw the throttle into >80% reverse. The deceleration
you experience is determined by E Stop Decel.
6-p. Adjust the E Stop Decel value to produce the desirable “feel” for
emergency reverse stops: typically as fast as possible without making
the vehicle unstable.
6-q. Note that the E Stop Decel rate should always be set faster than (or
equal to) the fastest forward deceleration rate, Decel High Speed.
6-r. The E Stop Pause parameter can be used to create a pause after the
vehicle has come to an emergency stop, thus giving the operator a
chance to return the throttle to neutral before the vehicle starts to
travel backwards. Adjust the E Stop Pause value to provide the ap
-
propriate pause. A longer pause might be preferred for a vehicle that
will be mainly used indoors, whereas for a vehicle that will be used
outdoors a faster initiation of reverse travel might be desirable.
