IQ DISPLAY MODULE (IQDM) SERIES 2 AND IQDM-P DIAGNOSTICS

MONITOR MENU

The monitor menu is accessed by using the up or down arrow to scroll to monitor and pressing the right arrow
key to activate the menu. All information in the monitor menu is updated in real time, allowing the trained tech-
nician to troubleshoot the vehicle by monitoring the handset as the key switch is cycled, Forward/Reverse
switch is activated, etc.
Since the monitor menu is updated while the vehicle is in operation, the trained technician has the ability to
monitor the status of several components in conditions or locations where a problem with vehicle performance
has been reported. See following WARNING.
ý
WARNING
• The vehicle operator should not monitor the handset while the vehicle is in motion. A
technician can monitor the handset while traveling as a passenger in the vehicle. Failure to
heed this warning could result in severe personal injury or death.
The following parameters can be monitored in real time with the handset from the monitor menu:
Speed In
Indicates the approximate ground speed of the vehicle in miles per hour (MPH).
Throttle %
Indicates the position of the accelerator pedal from 0% (pedal not pressed) to 95 - 100% (pedal fully pressed).
This item can be monitored when the key switch is in the ON or OFF position.
Batt Voltage
Displays the current battery voltage at the speed controller.
Heatsink Temp
Displays the temperature (in degrees Celsius) of the speed controller heatsink. During normal operating con-
ditions, the heatsink temperature should be below 85 °C ±5 °C (185 °F ±9 °F). See following NOTE.
NOTE: Improper brake adjustment can sometimes cause the operating current to be higher than normal.
This higher current increases the temperature of the speed controller heatsink.
Mode
Indicates what mode the vehicle is being operated in (Mode 1 or Mode 2).
Arm Current
Displays the motor armature current (in amperes).
Field Current
Displays the motor field current (in amperes).
Arm PWM
Displays motor armature PWM (pulse width modulation). The range of pulse width modulation is 0% to 100%.
When the vehicle is operating at full speed, the pulse width modulation should be at 100%.
Field PWM
Displays motor field PWM (pulse width modulation). The range of pulse width modulation is 0% to 100%.
When the vehicle is in operation, the pulse width modulation will fluctuate in response to the terrain and throt-
tle input.
