7  General Parameters 
7.1  Soft-Stop 
This selects whether the soft-stop facility is enabled. Soft-stop means that if you switch the control system off whilst driving, the 
scooter will steadily decelerate to standstill.  
You can turn this function on or off. 
If this function is on, you must ensure that the emergency stopping distance is within the distance 
specified  for  the  country  in  which  the  scooter  will  be  used.  For  countries  requiring  CE  marking 
this is as specified in EN12184. 
7.2  Brake Time 
This sets the period of time between the controller detecting zero motor speed and the application of the solenoid brake. 
This value should be set long enough to ensure the scooter doesn’t jerk or skid on a level surface, but short enough to minimize 
roll-back or roll-forward on slopes. 
More details for setting this parameter can be found in Appendix B – Set-up Procedure. 
You can set this between 0 and 200 in steps of 1 which roughly represents 10ms. 
7.3  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 scooter’s top 
speed will remain constant all the time the battery voltage is above that value. 
This value can be set between 20 and 28V in steps of 1V.  
7.4  Status Output Type 
This parameter can be set to one of three options:  
TruCharge   Suitable for Lamp and LED Status Indicators on Highside Drive connections and the TruCharge Status 
Indicator. 
Sink    Suitable for Lamp and LED Status Indicators on Lowside Drive connections. 
Analogue   Suitable for Analogue 12V Status Indicator. 
For details of the functionality of these settings and their associated configurations refer to Chapter 2 section 4.5. 
7.5  Diagnostic Flash Sequence 
This parameter can be set to 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4.  
0   No signal 
1   TruCharge indication 
2   Sequence flashes which simulate the TruCharge indication.  
3   Alternative twin flash repeated code sequence. See following diagram
