2 — INSTALLATION & WIRING: Throttle
WIRING: Throttle
Various throttles can be used with the 1244 controller. ey are categorized
as one of five types in the programming menu of the handheld programmer.
Type 1: two-wire 5kΩ–0 throttles
Type 2: 0–5V throttles, current source throttles, three-wire potentiometer
throttles, and electronic throttles—wired for single-ended operation
Type 3: two-wire 0–5kΩ throttles
Type 4: 0–5V and three-wire potentiometer throttles—wired for wig-
wag-style operation
Type 5: CAN-Nodes throttles
e operating specifications for these throttle types are summarized in Table 1.
All throttle fault protection is accomplished by monitoring the wiper input.
is provides throttle fault protection that meets all EEC requirements. us,
no additional fault protection is required on any throttle type used with the
1244 controller.

Notes: The Upper and Lower Deadbands 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
values will change with variations in the Throttle Deadband and Throttle Max parameter settings—see
Section 3, pages 30 and 32.
The HPD threshold is a percentage of the active throttle range, which is dependent on the pro-
grammed Throttle Deadband and Throttle Max settings. The default HPD Threshold is 25%; the
programmable range is 0–25%.
* With 0% Throttle Deadband, there is no neutral point on a Type 4 throttle. It is recommended that
an 8% minimum deadband be used with Type 4 throttles.
