Chapter 4: Programming the Rhino2
4.4.2.7 Throttle Testing
Yes - The RHINO2 tests if the voltage at the throttle wiper has a value that is between
Minimum Throttle Voltage and Maximum Throttle Voltage. This is especially useful
when ISO resistors are used to detect faults in the throttle wiring. If the voltage falls
more than 10% outside the limits, a throttle fault is generated, the scooter will not
drive and a 'Throttle Fault' flash code is shown on the Status light. For the correct
flash code, see the description of the Flash Code Type parameter (4.4.10.1).
No - The RHINO2 does not generate throttle faults. This setting is not recommended
because faults in the throttle wiring may not be detected. Use for throttle calibration
and throttle testing only.
For schematics and the use of ISO resistors, see Throttle Configuration (3.10).
4.4.2.8 Maximum Throttle Voltage
Maximum Throttle Voltage sets the maximum expected throttle voltage. Set this parameter to
the voltage that is present at the RHINO2 throttle wiper input (pin 1 of the tiller head connector)
when the wiper of the throttle is moved fully to the Throttle Positive position (pin 2).
Minimum Throttle Voltage sets the minimum expected throttle voltage. Set this parameter to
the voltage that is present at the RHINO2 throttle wiper input when the wiper of the throttle is
moved fully to the Throttle Negative position (pin 2).
The minimum and maximum throttle voltage parameters determine the operation of the
Throttle Full Scale Deflection (4.4.2.4) and Throttle Dead-band (4.4.2.6) parameters. See the
description of those parameters for details.
If Throttle Testing is set to 'Yes', and the voltage at the throttle wiper input is more than 10%
higher than Maximum Throttle Voltage or 10% lower than Minimum Throttle Voltage, the
controller generates a throttle fault to indicate that an error may have occurred with the
throttle or its wiring.
