5 — INITIAL SETUP
Before beginning the setup procedures, jack the vehicle drive wheels up o
the ground so that they spin freely. 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 1313 handheld
or 1314 PC programmer.
1 Motor temperature sensor (see page 63)
Set the Sensor Type parameter to the predened type (1–5) that corresponds
to your motor temperature sensor. Typically, the motor temperature sensor will
be a thermistor that should be connected from Analog 2 (pin 8) to ground
(pin 7) as shown on page 12.
To check whether the parameter settings and the motor thermistor
connections yield the correct motor temperature, read the Temperature value
displayed in the programmer’s Monitor
» Motor menu (page 79). is is typ-
ically done when the motor has not been run for many hours, to ensure the
motor is at a known (room) temperature. If the programmer does not display
the correct motor temperature, contact your Curtis distributor or support en-
gineer for help. If the correct motor temperature is not displayed, or if there
is no motor temperature sensor, this setup procedure can continue only if the
Sensor Enable is set to O.
If the programmer displays the correct motor temperature, continue with
the procedure and set up the Sensor Enable, Temperature Hot, and Temperature
Max parameters.
2 Current limits (see page 41)
e Drive, Regen, Brake, EMR, and Interlock Current Limit parameters are a
percentage of the controller’s full rated current. e controller’s full rated current
is printed on the label of the controller. Set the ve current limit parameters
to your desired values.
3 Battery (see page 64)
Set the Nominal Voltage parameter to match the nominal battery pack voltage
of your system.
4 Main contactor (see pages 50–51)
Set up the parameters in the Drivers » Main Contactor Menu.
5 EM brake (see pages 48–49)
Set up the parameters in the EM Brake Control Menu.
6 Throttle (see pages 13–17 and 44–46)
Before the throttle can be set up the interlock must be verified as O, by reading
the Interlock value displayed in the Monitor
» Inputs menu (page 74). If the
programmer indicates the interlock is On, review how you set the Interlock
