Other Parameters
BDI RESET
The BDI reset voltage parameter sets the no-load threshold at which the
controller's battery-state-of-charge calculator will reset to 100%. When this
voltage is present for 2 minutes the battery discharge indicator (BDI) is reset
to 100%. Because this is the charging voltage, it is set 2 to 3 volts higher than
the actual battery voltage (e.g., 27 V for a 24V system).
SLEEP DLY
The controller powers down completely if the throttle request remains at neutral
beyond the time specified by the sleep delay parameter; to resume operation,
the keyswitch must be cycled. The sleep delay can be set from 0 to 60 minutes.
Setting this parameter to zero disables the sleep delay.
TREMOR COMP
The tremor compensation parameter allows adjustment to limit the controller's
response to sharp throttle movements, such as movements resulting from hand
tremors. The tremor compensation parameter can be set to values of 1 through
5, with 1 providing no compensation, and 5 providing the most. Although larger
values provide steadier response, they also result in more sluggish response to
throttle requests. There is thus a trade-off between crispness of response (low
tremor compensation settings) and steady speed in the presence of tremors
(high tremor compensation settings).
The effect of tremor compensation is most noticeable when the throttle
is moved quickly from full to very low requests. Note: this function is bypassed
if the throttle moves into the neutral deadband.
Although designed primarily to help end users with hand tremor prob-
lems, this parameter can be used more generally to smooth out overall vehicle
responsiveness for steadier driving.
