3 — PROGRAMMABLE PARAMETERS: Throttle Parameters
THROTTLE MAX
The throttle max parameter sets the wiper voltage or resistance required to
produce 100% controller output. Decreasing the throttle max setting reduces
the wiper voltage or resistance and therefore the full stroke necessary to produce
full controller output. This feature allows reduced-range throttle assemblies to
be accommodated.
The examples in Figure 16 illustrate the effect of three different throttle
max settings (100%, 90%, 60%) on the full-stroke wiper voltage or resistance
required to attain 100% controller output for the four throttle types.
The programmer displays the throttle max parameter as a percentage of
the active throttle range. The active throttle range is not affected by the throttle
deadband setting. The throttle max parameter can be adjusted from 100% to
60%; the default setting is 90%. The nominal throttle wiper range depends of
the throttle type selected. See Table 1 (page 9) for the characteristics of your
selected throttle type.
The throttle max parameter is tuned as part of the vehicle performance
adjustment process (Section 5).

Notes: Voltages shown are at the pot wiper relative to B-.
For throttle types 1 and 3, the deadband points are
defined in terms of the nominal 5k Ω pot resistance.
Using a pot of greater or lesser resistance will give
different values for the deadband points.
