3 — PROGRAMMING & ADJUSTMENT
PROGRAMMING AND ADJUSTMENT
To change a parameter using the programmer, press the PROGRAM key, and scroll
down the Program Menu until the desired parameter is the top line of the display.
Press the appropriate CHANGE VALUE key (“up” or “down”) until the desired num-
ber is reached. The parameter is now set at the desired value. All programming
occurs in real time. In other words, the parameters can be changed while the
vehicle is in operation.
The upper and lower limits of parameters are set at the factory. When the
programmer is used to adjust a parameter and a limit is reached, the display stops
changing. To see why the display has stopped changing, press the MORE INFO key.
If the limit is related to another parameter, that information will be displayed;
changing the value of the related parameter may allow the original parameter to
be adjusted further. Otherwise, the display says “Max Limit” or “Min Limit.”
In addition to adjusting parameters, the programmer can be used to change
various options—such as throttle type, HPD, SRO, etc. Typically, the brake/seat
switch must be cycled before the new options take effect.
“CLONING”
One of the most powerful features of the programmer is its ability to “clone”
controllers. The programmer can read all the parameters and options from one
controller and write them to other controllers. Cloning only works between
controllers with the same model number and software version.
For example, the programmer can read all the information from a 1215-
8105 controller and write it to other 1215-8105 controllers. However, it cannot
write that same information to 1215-8106 controllers. If this is attempted, an
error message will be displayed.
PEACE-OF-MIND PROGRAMMING
Each time the programmer is connected to the controller, it acquires all the
controller’s parameters and stores them in its temporary memory. You can revert
back to these original settings at any time during a programming session via the
Special Program Menu. Select “Reset All Settings” by scrolling it to the top of the
display window, press the MORE INFO key, and follow the instructions displayed.
Any inadvertent changing of parameters can be “undone” using this procedure—
even if you can’t remember what the previous settings were—as long as the
programmer has not been unplugged and power has not been removed from
the controller.
