1311 displays that the interlock is now Off. Contact your Curtis customer
support engineer to resolve any issues about the interlock before continuing
with the setup procedure.
Once you have verified the interlock is off, you can set up the throttle
input. The Throttle Type parameter must be set to match the type of throttle
(1–5) and wiring that you are using, as described on pages 11–15. Adjust the
Forward Deadband, Forward Max, Reverse Deadband and Reverse Max param
-
eters to match the range of your throttle. The Throttle Pot value displayed on
the Monitor
» Inputs menu (page 64) is useful when setting up these parameters.
For the forward and reverse directions, read the displayed throttle 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 other parameters in the Throttle menu as required by the
application.
You will be able to verify that your throttle settings are correct by
checking the Mapped Throttle value displayed in the Monitor
» Inputs menu
(page 64) 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 forward throttle max and should
be = -100% through the range considered reverse throttle max. Contact your
Curtis customer support engineer to resolve any issues about the throttle setup
before continuing with the setup procedure.
8 Faults (see Section 8)
Turn the KSI input Off and then On (to clear any parameter change faults)
and use the 1311 to check for faults in the controller. All faults must be cleared
before continuing with the setup procedure. Use Section 8 for help in trouble
-
shooting. Contact your Curtis customer support engineer to resolve any issues
about the faults before continuing with the setup procedure.
9 Setting encoder direction and direction of rotation (see page 48)
With the vehicle drive wheels still jacked up, no faults present in the controller,
the interlock Off (as verified in the Monitor
» Inputs menu, page 65), and both the
throttle and brake in neutral (Mapped Throttle = 0% and Mapped Brake = 0%
in the Monitor
» Inputs menu), the encoder direction can be checked. Use
the Monitor
» Motor menu (page 68) to view the Motor RPM display. Turn
the motor by hand and observe the sign of Motor RPM. Positive is forward
and negative is reverse. If you get a positive Motor RPM when you rotate the
motor in the forward direction, and a negative Motor RPM when you rotate
the motor in the reverse direction, the Swap Encoder Direction parameter is
correct and should not be changed. If you are getting negative Motor RPM
when rotating the motor forward, the Swap Encoder Direction parameter must
be changed. Cycle KSI power and repeat the procedure until you are satisfied
