5.13 Low Battery Flash ?
This allows you to inhibit the slow flash of the TruCharge display when a low battery
condition is detected. If this inhibit is set to yes, the TruCharge display will not flash on
low battery.
5.14 Soft-Stop
This selects whether the soft-stop facility is enabled. Soft-stop means that if you switch
the controller off whilst driving, the scooter will steadily decelerate to standstill.
You can turn this function on or off.
This function is not present on Solo controllers.
If this function is on, you must ensure that the emergency
stopping distance is within the distance specified for the
country in which the vehicle will be used. For countries
requiring CE marking this is as specified in EN12184.
5.15 Throttle D’band ?
This sets the amount of throttle potentiometer movement before the solenoid brake
is disengaged and the vehicle starts to drive. It is expressed as a percentage of the
potentiometer full forward/reverse movement.
The following two examples cover the cases of single-ended and wig-wag throttle
types.
Example 1 For a single-ended throttle, if the throttle deadband is 10% and
the potentiometer is 5kΩ, then there will be no drive until the
potentiometer wiper is at the 500Ω position.
Example 2 For a wig-wag throttle if the throttle deadband is 10% and the
potentiometer is 5kΩ, then there will be no drive when the
potentiometer wiper is between the 2.25kΩ and 2.75kΩ
positions.
This value is adjustable between 3 and 100% in steps of 1%, and should always be set
greater than the mechanical repeatability of the throttle mechanism.
5.16 Output Voltage ?
This sets the value of voltage applied to the motor when the throttle potentiometer is
at the full drive position and the relevant speed, forward or reverse, is set to 100%. This
feature allows you to choose a motor voltage value such that the vehicle top speed
will remain constant all the time the battery voltage is above that value.
This value can be set between 20 and 40 V in steps of 1V. The range of 20 to 29V is
used for 24V controllers and the range 30 to 40V for 36V controllers.
5.17 TruCharge Cable ?
This sets the value of cable and connector resistance between the controller and the
