I-DRIVE TECHNICAL MANUAL – PROGRAMMING PG DRIVES TECHNOLOGY
The machine is in use with a type A battery; when the voltage drops below 22.3V, the timer is initiated. Once 20 seconds have
elapsed, the Aux 1 Output is inhibited, so that the cleaning brushes switch off. The operator returns to the charging point, removes
the type A batteries and places them on charge. The operator then fits the type B batteries and the machine is fully functional
until the voltage drops again, this time below 21.8V for 20 seconds before the brushes are ‘locked out’.
When the
Diagnostic Flash Sequence is set to PG or TruCharge, the BDI will produce the 1 bar
low battery flash when the active
Battery Lockout Voltage threshold is reached.
5.4 Low Battery Alarm
This parameter sets whether the i-Drive will give an audible alarm to signal a Battery Lockout condition. If enabled, the Low Battery
Alarm will sound when the battery voltage has fallen below the active Battery Lockout Voltage threshold for the Battery Lockout
Time.
The parameter can be set to On or Off.
6 Inhibit Parameters
6.1 Inhibit 1 Debounce, Mode, Operation, Speed & Target
For full details of these parameters refer to
Chapter 2 Section 4.11.1.
6.2 Inhibit 2 Debounce, Mode, Operation, Speed & Target
For full details of these parameters refer to
Chapter 2 Section 4.12.1.
6.3 Tiller Switch
This parameter allows for industrial vehicles fitted with a tiller switch. The tiller arm is usually sprung to the vertical position and is
pulled towards the horizontal to remove a drive inhibit. The switch must be closed in conjunction with throttle demand to effect
drive.
This parameter can be programmed to Yes or No and sets the function of pin 14 on the 14-way Tiller Interface.
If set to No, then pin 14 will operate in the normal way, i.e. as Inhibit 2.
If set to Yes, drive will only commence when pin 14 is connected to 0V and throttle demand is detected.
Tiller Switch functionality is standard on i140 and i180 only. Please contact PGDT if this
functionality is required on your i45 or i70 application.
