SETUP
Step 1 Apply power to controller.
Step 2 Move JP13 to appropriate input signal range. Use 0.5 to 4.5v for
hall-effect joystick applications. Use 0 to 5v for potentiometer
applications.
Step 3 Press SELECT UP or SELECT DOWN buttons to choose which
parameter to adjust. LED's indicate selected parameter.
Step 4 Press INC or DEC buttons to adjust value of selected parameter.
Display indicates value from 0-99% of adjustment range.
Step 5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all parameters have been adjusted to
desired values.
DESCRIPTION OF PARAMETERS:
PWM OUT 1 and PWM OUT 2
MIN: Minimum value for proportional output 0 = Off; 99 = full power
MAX: Maximum value for proportional output 0 = Off; 99 = full power
RAMP UP: Time for output to reach maximum value 0 = 0.1 seconds; 99 = 5 seconds
RAMP DN: Time for output to reach maximum value 0 = 0.1 seconds; 99 = 5 seconds
THRESHOLD: Adjusts how far the joystick/potentiometer 0 = 0 volts (0%); 99 = +/-2 volt (25%)
must be moved from center before output
begins to change. Increase this value to make
the joystick/potentiometer less "touchy."
DITHER: Adjusts the amount of high-frequency signal 0 = none; 99 = +/-10% of max output
applied to the proportional outputs. This
enables ne control of the solenoid by
preventing sticking.
