7 — INITIAL SETUP
pg. 89
Step 6: Throttle
Before the throttle can be set up the interlock must be veried as O. Read the Interlock value
displayed in the Monitor » Inputs menu. If the 1313/1314 programmer indicates the interlock is
On, review the Interlock Type parameter setting (Drivers » Main Contactor Menu) and turn the
interlock o. Verify that the programmer displays that the interlock is now O.
Contact the Curtis distributor or support engineer to resolve any issues about the interlock before
continuing with these initial setup procedures.
Once the interlock has been veried O, proceed to the throttle input setup. First set the rottle
Type parameter to match the type of throttle (1–5) and wiring used as described in Chapter 3,
rottle section. en adjust the Forward Deadband, Forward Max, Reverse Deadband and Reverse
Max parameters to match the range of the throttle. e rottle Pot value displayed on the Monitor »
Inputs menu is useful when setting up these parameters.
For the forward and reverse directions, read the displayed rottle Pot voltage at the point when
the throttle moves out of neutral and at the point just before full throttle and enter these values for
the deadband and max settings for that direction. Set up the remaining parameters in the rottle
Menu as required by the application.
Verify that the throttle settings are correct by checking the Mapped Throttle value displayed in
the Monitor » Inputs menu over the entire range of throttle pot movement. The value displayed
for Mapped Throttle should be = 0% through the range of throttle motion that is considered
neutral. The displayed Mapped Throttle should be = 100% through the range of motion that is
considered maximum forward throttle and it is = –100% through the range considered maximum
reverse throttle.
Contact the Curtis distributor or support engineer to resolve any issues about the throttle setup before
continuing with the initial setup procedures.
Step 7: Brake
If the application does not use the brake function, set the Brake Pedal Enable parameter = O and
Brake Type = 5. Otherwise, congure the Brake parameters.
Before setting the brake parameters, verify that the interlock is O. Read the Interlock value displayed
in the Monitor » Inputs menu. If the 1313/1314 programmer indicates the interlock is On, review how
the Interlock Type parameter setting (Drivers » Main Contactor Menu) and turn the interlock o.
e Brake Type parameter must be set to match the type of brake throttle (1, 2, 3, 5) and wiring.
Next, adjust the Brake Deadband and Brake Max parameters to match the range of the brake pot. e
Brake Pot value (Pot2 Raw) displayed in the Monitor » Inputs menu is useful when setting up these
parameters. Read the displayed brake pot voltage at the point when the brake moves out of neutral
and at the point just before full brake. Enter in these values for the deadband and max parameter
settings. en set up the other parameters in the Brake Menu as required by the applications.
Verify that the brake settings are correct by checking the Mapped Brake value displayed in the
Monitor » Inputs menu over the entire range of brake pot movement. e value displayed for Mapped
Brake should be = 0% through the range of brake pot motion that is considered neutral. e displayed
Mapped Brake should be = 100% through the range of motion that is considered maximum brake.
Contact the Curtis distributor or support engineer to resolve any issues about the brake setup before
continuing with the setup procedure.
