S-DRIVE - PROGRAMMING                   PG DRIVES TECHNOLOGY 
SK76745/10 
The scooter 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 scooter uncontrollable and potentially unsafe. PGDT accepts no liability for 
losses of any kind arising from failure to comply with this condition
.
 
The  scooter  manufacturer  is  responsible  for  always  ensuring  that  any  replacement  motors  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  scooter 
uncontrollable  and  potentially  unsafe.  PGDT  accepts  no  liability  for  losses  of  any  kind  arising 
from failure to comply with this condition. 
8.6  Motor Stall Timeout 
If the Current Fold back Threshold is exceeded for the duration of Motor Stall Time, drive to the motor and will be cut the brake 
engaged. Release the throttle back to neutral and try again. This feature can be used to protect the motor from undue stress.  
Motor Stall Timeout is programmable between 0 (off) and 180 seconds. 
 
8.7  Braking Current  
This parameter sets the  braking current of  the S-Drive. The  parameter is  programmable  from  45A to  the controller’s maximum 
rating. However, it is recommended the parameter is never set less than the controller’s maximum as shown in the table below. 
This  parameter  should  be  set  to  a  value  suitable  for  the  motor  being  used.  PGDT  accepts  no 
liability for losses of any kind arising from the improper use of the scooter or controller. 
8.8  Timed Foldback Braking Current 
This parameter  sets  the  maximum braking current when  the controller  is  in  ‘Timed  Foldback’  and  can  be  used  to  protect  the 
motor.  Reducing  this  parameter  will  result  in  a  greater  stopping  distance  for  the  scooter,  so  the  parameter  Timed  Foldback 
Speed should also be reduced in order to maintain a safe stopping distance.  
This  parameter  should  be  set  to  a  value  suitable  for  the  motor  being  used.  PGDT  accepts  no 
liability for losses of any kind arising from the improper use of the scooter or controller.  
8.9  Timed Foldback Speed  
This parameter can be used to limit the speed of the scooter when the controller is in ‘Timed Foldback’. The primary purpose of 
this adjustment is to maintain a safe stopping distance if the braking current is reduced.
