COMMISSIONING
e 1220 steer controller can be used in a variety of vehicles, which dier in
characteristics and in their input and feedback devices. Before driving the ve-
hicle, it is important that the commissioning procedures be carefully followed
to ensure that the controller is set up to be compatible with your application.
e 1220 controller must be used in conjunction with a Curtis AC
traction controller with VCL. e Curtis traction controller must implement
special software (VCL) to communicate with the 1220 controller, in order to
support safe vehicle operation.
A single main contactor can be used to support both traction and steer
controllers. All vehicles must use the Fault Output connection (J3-1) to allow
the 1220 to disable the traction controller’s main contactor coil or interlock
input during certain fault conditions.
Before starting the commissioning procedures, jack the vehicle drive
wheels up o the ground so that they spin freely and steer freely from
stop to stop. Manually disable the Interlock (traction and steer) so
that the 1220 will not begin steering and the traction wheel will not
turn. Double-check all wiring to ensure it is consistent with the wiring
guidelines presented in Section 2. Make sure all connections are tight.
Turn on the controller and plug in the handheld programmer.
