I-DRIVE TECHNICAL MANUAL – WARNING SUMMARY PG DRIVES TECHNOLOGY
2.14 Wire Gauge and Types
It is the responsibility of the machine manufacturer to ensure that all wire gauges are suitable for
the intended application.
2.15 Battery Connection
The machine manufacturer must install a suitable circuit breaker to provide protection against
short circuits in the battery wiring, power loom or the controller. Failure to comply with this could
result in a fire hazard. PGDT accepts no liability for losses of any kind arising from failure to
comply with this condition.
2.16 Belly Button Configuration
It is the responsibility of the machine manufacturer to ensure the mechanical arrangement of the
Belly Button is suitable for the intended application. PGDT accepts no liability for losses of any
kind arising from the incorrect mechanical arrangement of the Belly Button or the type of Belly
Button switch used.
The machine manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that the wiring of the Belly Button switch
and the programming of the Belly Button parameters are suitable for the intended application.
PGDT accepts no liability for losses of any kind arising from the incorrect wiring or programming
of the Belly Button function.
2.17 Fused B+ Supply
This connection should have no external capacitance connected to it and care should be taken not
to exceed the fuse rating if lights or other auxiliary functions are connected.
2.18 Inhibit 1 & 2 Speed
If the Inhibit Speed is greater than 0 then the controller will not enter an inhibit state.
The machine manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that the controller is matched to the motor
resistance. Failure to do this may result in poor control characteristics, which in extreme
instances can make a machine uncontrollable and potentially unsafe. PGDT accepts no liability for
losses of any kind arising from failure to comply with this condition.
2.19 Drive Motors
The machine manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that the controller is matched to the motor
armature resistance. Failure to do this may result in poor control characteristics, which in
extreme instances can make a machine uncontrollable and potentially unsafe. PGDT accepts no
liability for losses of any kind arising from failure to comply with this condition.
The machine manufacturer is responsible for always ensuring that any replacement motors or
gearboxes are fully compatible with the originals that the controller was designed to match.
Failure to do this may result in poor control characteristics, which in extreme instances can make
a machine uncontrollable and potentially unsafe. PGDT accepts no liability for losses of any kind
arising from failure to comply with this condition.
