GE SX TRANSISTOR CONTROL IC3645SR4U404N2 - Manual (Page 9)

BASIC OPERATION AND FEATURES
SX TRANSISTOR CONTROL Page 9
January 2000
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 multi-functional tool used with the LX, ZX, and SX
Series GE solid state controls. The Handset consists of a
Light Emitting Diode (LED) display and a keyboard for data
entry. Note, for ordering purposes, a separate Handset part
is required for SX controls.
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
pre-set interactive modes consisting of (4) Controlled
Acceleration levels, (4) Field Weakening levels and (4)
Speed Limits.
These interactive modes are "pre-set" using the Handset
(Functions 48-62) or a personal computer (Functions 97-
112). This feature allows the operator to select the best
vehicle performance for changing factory (task) conditions.
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 over-temperature of traction motors,
hydraulic motors, or any other device or system that can
activate a switch that closes.
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.
Section 2.4 Hydraulic Pump Control
This hydraulic motor controller consists of the following
features:
