The Pro-160 and Pro-360 have a number of warning messages or error codes that can appear depending on what the controller thinks is happening.
This table lists;
- the code
- any associated sound signal
- whether the code is a warning or indicates a fault
- the text shown on the display
- the behaviour of the controller
Code | Sound [No of beeps in 5 secs] | Type Fault/ Warning | Error Text
| Error Description (Manual) | Behaviour |
B1 | None | F | Under Voltage | The battery voltage is below the Low Voltage cut-off (if set) or 11V (system default). | Start-up – Do not start Run-time – Ramp down, resume if cleared |
B2 | One short beep (if on in profile) | W | Low Battery | The battery voltage is at or below the low voltage alert (if set) or 11.9 (system default) | Depends on profile setting (volt_alert.action) |
B3 | None | W | High Battery | The battery voltage is above: 60V (Std PRO-160) 90V (HV PRO-160) | Flash warning message |
B4 | None | F | Over Voltage | The battery voltage is above: 63V (Std PRO-160) 95V (HV PRO-160) | Start-up – Do not start Run-time – Ramp down, resume if cleared |
T1 | One long beep | W | High Temp | The controller temperature is over 65C | Flash warning message Run-time – ramp down to 50% of max speed (if over 50%) |
T2 | One long beep | F | Over Temp | The controller temperature is over 75C | Start-up – Do not start Run-time – Ramp down, stop |
T3 | One long beep | W | TX High Temp | The second thermistor temperature is over warning limit [may be used for motor for example] | Flash warning message
|
T4 | One long beep | W | TY High Temp | The third thermistor temperature is over warning limit [may be used for battery for example] | Flash warning message
|
P1 | Continuous | F | High Pot Lock | High POT lockout | Start -up -Flash error message until POT is set to minimum Run-time -N/A |
P2 | Continuous | F | Pot Fault | [V3 boards] Pot track fault The pot top value is higher than the expected value indicating pot wiring fault. See note 1 at end. | Start-up – Flash error message and switch off Run-time – Ramp down, stop |
P3 | Continuous | F | Pot Fault | [V3 boards] Pot wiper fault The POT value is higher than the expected range indicating faulty Pot. | Start-up – Flash error message and switch off Run-time – Ramp down, stop |
P4 | 3 short | F | RC Fault | RC signal is not in expected range of values | Start-up – Flash error message until signal is in range. Run-time – Ramp down Restart automatically if ranges return to normal |
X1 | 2 short | F | Dead Mans Hdl | The Dead Man’s handle is set on | Start-up – Flash error message until set off Run-time – Ramp down Restart automatically if DMH goes off |
X2 | 2 short | F | Emerg Stop | Emergency stop signal received | Start-up – Flash error message until set off Run-time – STOP IMMEDIATELY |
C1 | None | W | Over Current | Current overload occurring. The current is above the SYSTEM (hardcoded) maximum safe curent. [Note: whether it is + or – overcurrent is not information required by the user] | Flash warning message. Special behaviour, emergency stop after 300 milliseconds at this level. |
C2 | None | W | Current Limit | Current limit. Current is being held to the current limit set for the profile | Flash warning message. |
K1 | 2 long | F | Park Brake | Parking brake over current | Start-up – Do not start Run-time – Ramp down, stop |
Q1-4 | 3 long | F | MOSFET | Mosfet Faults. See note 2 at end. | Start up check |
S1 | None | W | Speed Limit | Speed limit. Speed (width of signal from speed sensor) is being held to the speed limit set for the profile | Flash warning message. |
S2 | None | W | Speed Signal | Reading from the speed sensor is not in the expected range of values | Flash warning message |
Notes:
1. P2 Pot fault can also occur if R112 [0 ohms] is blown. This can occur if pin F is short circuited to B+. It can be repaired by bridging with a small wire link.
2. Qx faults can occur if there is a short circuit between mosfets and the heatsink. Check that all insulating washers are in place.
