BASIC OPERATION AND FEATURES
SX TRANSISTOR CONTROL | Page 9 |
Section 2.3.3 Hourmeter Readings
This feature will display the recorded hours of use of the traction and pump control to the Dash Display each time the key switch is turned off.
Section 2.3.3.a Maintenance Alert & Speed Limit
This feature is used to display Status Code 99 and/or activate a speed limit when the vehicle operating hours match the hours set into the maintenance alert register. This feature is set with the Handset using Functions 19 and
20.The operator is alerted that maintenance on the vehicle is required.
Section 2.3.4 Battery Discharge Indication (BDI)
The latest in microprocessor technology is used to provide accurate battery state of charge information and to supply passive and active warning signals to the vehicle operator. Features and functions:
•Displays 100 to 0 percent charge.
•Display blinks with 20% charge. Disables pump circuit with 10% charge. Auto ranging for 36/48 volt operation. Adjustable for use on 24 to 80 volts.
Section 2.3.4.a Internal Resistance Compensation
This feature is used when the Battery Discharge Indicator is present. Adjustment of this function will improve the accuracy of the BDI.
Section 2.3.5 Handset
This is a
Features and functions:
•Monitor existing system status codes for both traction and pump controls. Monitor intermittent random status codes.
•Monitor battery state of charge, if available.
•Monitor hourmeter reading on traction and pump controls. Monitor or adjust the control functions.
Section 2.3.6 RS 232 Communication Port
This serial communication port can be used with Interactive Custom Dash Displays to allow changes to vehicle operating parameters by the operator. Or, it can be used by service personnel to dump control operating information and settings into a personal computer program.
Section 2.3.6.a Interactive Dash Display
Modes
The Interactive Custom Dash Display allows the operator to select the best vehicle performance for changing factory (task) conditions. There are four (4) "operator interaction modes" that can be selected by depressing a push button on the dash display.
From the Dash Display, the operator may select any of four
These interactive modes are
Section 2.3.7 Circuit Board Coil Driver Modules
Coil drivers are internal to the control card, and are the power devices that operate the Line and SP contactor coils. On command from the control card, these drivers initiate opening and closing the contactor coils. All driver modules are equipped with reverse battery protection, such that, if the battery is connected incorrectly, the contactors can not be closed electrically.
Section 2.3.8 Truck Management Module (TMM)
The Truck Management Module is a multifunction accessory card, or an integral function of the GE Pump controls when used with the SX Traction control. The Module provides the OEM the ability to initiate status codes or operator warning codes to be displayed on the Dash Display, whenever a normally open switch or sensor wire provides a signal to the Module.
The TMM Module can be used to display a separate status code indicating
The TMM Module can also be used as a Brush Wear Indicator (BWI). The Brush Wear Indicator is designed to detect a "worn out brush" and display a fault code on the Dash Display to warn maintenance personnel that the motor brushes need to be replaced before they wear to the point of causing destructive damage to the motor commutator surface.
