3.7  Solenoid Brake Connection 
The  solenoid  brake  should  be  24V  and  should  not  require  more  than  1.25A  to  operate.  The  S-Drive’s  brake  output  has  a 
continuous rating of 1.25A. If the continuous current is greater than this level, then the controller may shut down the brake output 
in order to protect it. If the solenoid brake current is less than 10mA, the controller will detect an open-circuit brake condition. 
If  the  brake  is  manually  disengaged  in  order  to  freewheel  the  scooter  then  a  Brake  Released  Switch  must  be  fitted  and 
connected as shown in the S-Drive Wiring Diagram in section 3.1.  
This will result in the S-Drive preventing drive, detecting a freewheel situation and indicating this as a Solenoid Brake Trip. (Trip Type 
9). 
Due to the S-Drive’s ability to operate at low voltages, the Solenoid Brake(s) fitted must be capable of operating over the same 
range.  
It  is  the  responsibilities  of  the  scooter  manufacturer  to  test  the  effectiveness  of  the  Solenoid 
Brake(s) over the entire operating range of the S-Drive. 
4  Tiller Interface 
The Tiller  Interface  connections  are via a  14 way  Molex ‘Mini-Fit-Jr.’  connector. PGDT  can  supply  these  parts or Molex can  be 
contacted directly. Refer to section 3.2.3 for part numbers and connector details. 
 
24V B+ (S200 fused 3.75A) 
Speed Limiting Potentiometer 
 
The S-Drive Scooter Controller is a versatile method of scooter control. To maximize this versatility the Tiller Interface can be wired 
in many different ways to suit a range of scooter functionality. Each method of connection is individually described in this section.
