Installation Manual Issue 5
To exit Normal Mode manually, the user must switch the key to its off position (Key OFF), at
which point the controller transitions to Low Power Mode (if enabled) or to Powered Down
if Low Power Mode is turned off in the programming.
If the Sleep Timer has been enabled (Sleep Timer > 0), and the throttle has been in the
Neutral position for Sleep Timer minutes, Normal Mode is exited automatically, dropping
into Sleep Mode.
5.11.3 Sleep Mode
When in Sleep Mode, the controller is partially powered off to reduce energy consumption
and to make sure that the scooter does not drive if the user accidentally deflects the
throttle. The scooter does not respond to commands, but all inputs are powered and
monitored, and status updates from the single wire communication pins continue to
transmit. The status LED(s) flash once every 5 seconds to indicate to the user that the
controller is in Sleep Mode.
From Sleep Mode, the controller can transition back to Normal Mode, or into Low Power
Mode.
To transition back to Normal Mode, the user must 'Wake Up' the controller by either turning
the key (OFF then ON), or deflecting the throttle — this is determined by the parameter
Wakeup Style.
The controller automatically transitions to Low Power Mode from Sleep Mode on one of the
following events:
l
key OFF: the user turns the key to the OFF position
l
6 hours elapsed: the controller has been in Sleep Mode for 6 hours
l
throttle fault: the controller has detected a throttle fault
l
flat battery: the battery is flat
l
battery charging: the battery is charging
5.11.4 Low Power Mode
When in Low Power Mode, the controller operates in a low power mode to reduce energy
consumption. During Low Power Mode, the controller continues to monitor the system
(motor, battery, faults etc.) and Status information is transmitted on the single wire
communication pins, once every 12 hours.
The controller remains in Low Power Mode until one of the following events occur:
l
Low Power Mode Duration has timed out
l
The battery becomes flat
l
Key ON
If Low Power Mode Duration times out, or the battery becomes flat, the controller
transitions to Powered Down. Low Power Mode Duration can be set between 0 and 90 days.
