  • Page 38: Inhibit 2

    PG D DRIVE NSTALLATION RIVES ECHNOLOGY 4.11 Inhibit 2 The S-Drive Scooter Controller has 3 highly versatile inputs that can be configured to provide inhibit and speed limiting functions. These inputs are referred to as Inhibit 1, Inhibit 2 and Inhibit 3. Inhibit 2 input is located at pin 6 of the 14 way tiller connector. If this Inhibit is not to be used PGDT recommends that the Inhibit Speed parameter be set to 100%.

  • Page 39: Inhibit 2 Speed

    PG D RIVES ECHNOLOGY DRIVE NSTALLATION 4.11.2 Inhibit 2 Speed This parameter sets the maximum speed of the scooter when the Inhibit 2 input is active. The parameter is adjustable between 0 and 100% in steps of 1%. When Inhibit Speed = 0 this acts as an inhibit. At this time the controller will refer to the Inhibit Operation parameter to establish what type of inhibit will be created.

  • Page 40: Inhibit 3 Mode

    PG D DRIVE NSTALLATION RIVES ECHNOLOGY It is possible to connect the switch to 24V or 0V. Inhibit 3 is programmed primarily to detect the presence of an external battery charger connected through the tiller and therefore prevent the scooter from being driven whilst connected to the mains. See the example in section 4.12.3 Inhibit 3 input has 3 programmable parameters.

  • Page 95: Compliance Of The S-Drive Range Of Scooter Controllers With Iso 7176-14: 2008

    21st September 2009 Conformity of the S-Drive product family with ISO 7176-14:2008 General PG Drives Technology has been assessing conformity of the S-Drive product family with the second (2008) edition of ISO 7176-14. This document summarises the findings. Slope stopping distance The stopping distance criteria for a number of tests have changed in the 2008 edition, and the inclination of the test slope has changed from 5°...
  • Page 96 – A PG D DRIVE PPENDIX RIVES ECHNOLOGY On/off switch S-Drive products require an on-off switch to be provided by the scooter manufacturer Off-state current S-Drive products draw very low currents when switched off, typically about 1.0 mA with a maximum of 2.0 mA. Providing the scooter has no other circuitry that is connected to the battery other than the S-Drive and its recommended circuitry, it should meet the requirement with a 6 Ah battery or larger.
  • Page 97 PG D – A RIVES ECHNOLOGY DRIVE PPENDIX 8.16 Use in combination with other devices This requirement does not apply directly to S-Drive products. PGDT should be contacted for guidance if the scooter manufacturer intends other equipment to be connected to the scooter’s battery set. Isolation S-Drive products meet the isolation requirements.
  • Page 98 – A PG D DRIVE PPENDIX RIVES ECHNOLOGY 10.4 On/off indicator S-Drive products support on/off indication in conformity with the standard if a suitable indicator is provided by the scooter manufacturer. 10.5 Connectors The S-Drive does not have connectors intended for use by the occupant or assistant. 10.6 Audible noise S-Drive products do not make any contribution to the overall noise produced by the scooter in the drive test or the ancillary...
  • Page 99 PG D – A RIVES ECHNOLOGY DRIVE PPENDIX 14.1 Reversed battery polarity S-Drive products meet the reversed battery polarity requirement. 14.2 Integrity of enclosures S-Drive products should not be installed in locations where they would be at risk of impact with static external structures. Hence this requirement does not apply.

    – A PG D DRIVE PPENDIX RIVES ECHNOLOGY Annex A - wiring guidance The standard includes guidance on wiring sizes, but no requirements. PGDT provides its own guidance on wiring suitable for use with S-Drive products. Summary Providing they are installed in accordance with the installation instructions and the recommendations in this document, S-Drive products support conformity with the applicable requirements of ISO 7176-14:2009 of scooters in which they are used, with the following exception, for which corrective action is in progress: The tiller interface, charger/programmer and solenoid brake connectors presently have a UL 94 V-2 rating.

    PG D – A RIVES ECHNOLOGY DRIVE PPENDIX Annex — S-Drive command signal leakage Introduction It is possible for S-Drive installations to meet the command signal leakage requirements of ISO 7176-14:2008. To meet the requirements it is necessary to do the following: 1) define limitations for the configuration of the throttle circuitry;...

  • Page 103 PG D – A RIVES ECHNOLOGY DRIVE PPENDIX Optionally, a guard conductor can be used to surround the throttle wiper conductor. This should be connected to the throttle low reference. S-covers (S-Drive connector covers) It is recommended that S-covers are used to protect the S-Drive tiller interface connector wiring and connections. Orientation of the controller It is recommended that the guidance in the S-Drive Technical Manual (SK76745) is followed concerning controller orientation and cable routing.

    – A PG D DRIVE PPENDIX RIVES ECHNOLOGY Set Up Procedure It is important when setting up the vehicle that the batteries are fully charged and that the motor is cold. This procedure follows a sequence as below and programming of each parameter should be undertaken in that exact order. Set Motor Compensation Set Speed, Acceleration and Deceleration Set Brake Time...
  • Page 107 PG D – A RIVES ECHNOLOGY DRIVE PPENDIX Fine-tuning Depending on the application further fine tuning may be required to maximize performance on an incline. The following parameters have the default values indicated below. – These are theoretically optimal values given a correct value of motor compensation determined for the lowest armature temperature that is likely to be encountered in normal operation.
