GE IC3645SR4R333AS2 Installation And Operation Manual

BASIC OPERATION AND FEATURESSX TRANSISTOR CONTROL Page 8May 2000Note: The Status Code Instruction Sheets do not purport tocover all possible causes of a display of a "status code ".They do provide instructions for checking the most directinputs that can cause status codes to appear.Section 2.3.2.b Stored Status CodesThis feature records the last 16 "Stored Status Codes" thathave caused a PMT controller shut down and/or disruptednormal vehicle operation. (PMT type faults are reset bycycling the key switch). These status codes, along with thecorresponding BDI and hourmeter readings, can beaccessed with the Handset, or by using the RS 232communications port and dumping the information to aPersonal Computer terminal.Section 2.3.3 Hourmeter ReadingsThis feature will display the recorded hours of use of thetraction and pump control to the Dash Display each timethe key switch is turned off.Section 2.3.4 Battery Discharge Indication (BDI)The latest in microprocessor technology is used to provideaccurate battery state of charge information and to supplypassive and active warning signals to the vehicle operator.Features and functions: Displays 100 to 0 percent charge. Display blinks with 20% charge. Disables pump circuitwith 10% charge. Auto ranging for 36/48 volt operation.Adjustable for use on 24 to 80 volts.Section 2.3.4.a Internal Resistance CompensationThis feature is used when the Battery Discharge Indicatoris present. Adjustment of this function will improve theaccuracy of the BDI.Section 2.3.5 HandsetThis is a multi-functional tool used with the LX, ZX, and SXSeries GE solid state controls. The Handset consists of aLight Emitting Diode (LED) display and a keyboard for dataentry. Note, for ordering purposes, a separate Handset partis required for SX controls.Features and functions: Monitor existing system status codes for both tractionand pump controls. Monitor intermittent random statuscodes. Monitor battery state of charge, if available. Monitor hourmeter reading on traction and pumpcontrols. Monitor or adjust the control functions.Section 2.3.6 RS 232 Communication PortThis serial communication port can be used withInteractive Custom Dash Displays to allow changes tovehicle operating parameters by the operator. Or, it can beused by service personnel to dump control operatinginformation and settings into a personal computer program.Section 2.3.6.a Interactive Dash DisplayModesThe Interactive Custom Dash Display allows the operator toselect the best vehicle performance for changing factory(task) conditions. There are four (4) "operator interactionmodes" that can be selected by depressing a push buttonon the dash display.From the Dash Display, the operator may select any of fourpre-set interactive modes consisting of (4) ControlledAcceleration levels, (4) Field Weakening levels and (4)Speed Limits.These interactive modes are "pre-set" using the Handset(Functions 48-63) or a personal computer (Functions 97-112). This feature allows the operator to select the bestvehicle performance for changing factory (task) conditions.Section 2.3.7 Circuit Board Coil Driver ModulesCoil drivers are internal to the control card, and are thepower devices that operate the Line, 1A and SP contactorcoils. On command from the control card, these driversinitiate opening and closing the contactor coils. All drivermodules are equipped with reverse battery protection, suchthat, if the battery is connected incorrectly, the contactorscan not be closed electrically.
