Belly Switch
WARNING: Ensure the belly switch is only mapped to a digital input when required. Activation
of this input can cause a drive condition to occur.
The belly switch is normally connected to the end of the tiller arm on class 3 vehicles. When activated it
forces a drive condition in forward at a user specified throttle value and maximum speed for a specified
time.
To configure belly:
• Ensure the belly switch is mapped to a digital input.
• Specify the maximum belly speed at 290C
h
sub-index 2.
• Specify a belly throttle at 290C
h
sub-index 1. This will determine the torque demand in torque
mode or speed demand in speed mode.
• Specify a belly time out at 290C
h
sub-index 3. The belly function will cease after this time has
expired.
Drivability select switches
WARNING: Ensure the driveability switches are only mapped to digital inputs when required.
Activation of these inputs can cause driving parameters to change.
There are two drivability select switches (2126
h
and 2127
h
).
To enable either of these they must be mapped to digital inputs. When they are active, the
corresponding drivability profiles (2921
h
and 2922
h
) are applied.
See Driveability profiles (page 64) for more information.
Economy
The economy input is an analogue input which can be used to increase vehicle efficiency and extend
battery life. It is normally controlled using a potentiometer mounted on the vehicle’s dashboard. The
economy voltage (2222
h
) must be mapped to an analogue input.
Efficiency is improved by reducing the acceleration rate or the maximum torque.
Configure the economy input at object 2912
h
as follows:
Economy function: select acceleration or torque.
Economy voltage input: These settings are similar to those for the throttle
(see page 56).
The economy value calculated from the voltage can be read at 2622
h
.
Seat Regen Braking
The seat switch can be used to override the current driveability settings with a higher value as set in
2928h. This allows the vehicle to use stronger braking to bring the vehicle to a halt when the driver is
not present. This overrides the following settings:
• Maximum torque, Acceleration and Deceleration rates in Neutral Braking
• Maximum torque, Acceleration and Deceleration rates in Footbraking
This can be configured to only be activated above a certain speed to prevent activation when the vehicle
is stationary. A “Seat Warning” fault is set in this state.
