BASIC OPERATION AND FEATURES
SX TRANSISTOR CONTROL
Section 2.3.2 Status Codes
Section 2.3.2a Standard Status Codes
The SX traction control has over 30 Status Codes that assist the service technician and operator in trouble shooting the vehicle.
If mis-operation of the vehicle occurs, a status code will be displayed on the Dash Display for vehicles so equipped, or be
available by plugging the Handset into the "y" plug of the logic card.
With the status code number, follow the procedures outlined in DIAGNOSTIC STATUS CODES to determine the problem and a
solution.
Note: The Status Code Instruction Sheets do not claim to cover all possible causes of a display of a "status code ". They do
provide instructions for checking the most direct inputs that can cause status codes to appear.
Section 2.3.2.b Stored Status Codes
This feature records the last 16 "Stored Status Codes" that have caused a PMT controller shut down and/or disrupted normal
vehicle operation. (PMT type faults are reset by cycling the key switch). These status codes, along with the corresponding BDI
and hourmeter readings, can be accessed with the Handset, or by using the RS 232 communications port and dumping the
information to a Personal Computer terminal.
Section 2.3.3 Hourmeter Readings
This feature will display the recorded hours of use of the traction and pump control to the Dash Display each time the key switch
is turned off.
Section 2.3.3.a Maintenance Alert & Speed Limit
This feature is used to display Status Code 99 and/or activate a speed limit when the vehicle operating hours match the hours
set into the maintenance alert register. This feature is set with the Handset using Functions 19 and 20. The operator is alerted
that maintenance on the vehicle is required.
Section 2.3.4 Battery Discharge Indication (BDI)
The latest in microprocessor technology is used to provide accurate battery state of charge information and to supply passive
and active warning signals to the vehicle operator. Features and functions:
•
Displays 100 to 0 percent charge.
•
Display blinks with 20% charge. Disables pump circuit with 10% charge. Auto ranging for 36/48 volt operation. Adjustable
for use on 24 to 80 volts.
Section 2.3.4.a Internal Resistance Compensation
This feature is used when the Battery Discharge Indicator is present. Adjustment of this function will improve the accuracy of
the BDI.
Section 2.3.5 Handset
This is a multi-functional tool used with the LX, ZX, and SX Series GE solid state controls. The Handset consists of a Light
Emitting Diode (LED) display and a keyboard for data entry. Note, for ordering purposes, a separate Handset part is required for
SX controls.
Features and functions:
•
Monitor existing system status codes for both traction and pump controls. Monitor intermittent random status codes.
•
Monitor battery state of charge, if available.
•
Monitor hourmeter reading on traction and pump controls. Monitor or adjust the control functions.
