3 — PROGRAMMABLE PARAMETERS: Throttle Parameters
ThROTTLE TyPE
e 1244 controller accepts a variety of throttle inputs, through various com-
binations of its four throttle input pins. e most commonly used throttles
can be hooked up directly: 5kΩ–0 and 0–5kΩ 2-wire rheostats, 3-wire pots,
0–5V throttles, Curtis ET-XXX electronic throttles, and CAN-Nodes based
throttles.
e standard throttle input signal type options—Types “1” through “5” in
the throttle type programming menu—are listed in Table 3. Wiring information
and performance characteristics for each throttle type are presented in Section 2.
