I-DRIVE TECHNICAL MANUAL – TRUCHARGE MODULE PG DRIVES TECHNOLOGY
7 Production Tests
7.1 Mounting
Make sure that the TruCharge Module is securely mounted. Do not overtighten any securing screws.
Ensure that the adhesive sealing overlay is fully pressed down.
7.2 Cables and Connections
Check all cables and connections to the TruCharge Module for damage. Ensure there are no dry solder joints.
7.3 Operational Test
The following tests should be carried out on a level floor with at least one meter of clear space around the machine.
With the machine switched off, displace the throttle and then switch the machine on. The TruCharge display should ‘ripple’ up
and down. When you have observed that all the bars illuminate, release the throttle and the display should now become steady
and indicate the battery condition.
There are two conditions when this test cannot be performed. Firstly, if the controller is programmed (
Throttle Operated at Power-
Up
) to instantly trip if it is powered-up with the throttle displaced. Secondly, if the controller is programmed (High Pedal Disable) to
drive immediately after power-up regardless of throttle position.
If this test cannot be performed due to the above conditions, then the only other test method is to power-up the machine with
fully charged batteries and check that all the TruCharge bars illuminate.
