1. GENERAL

This supplement covers the new Big Joe TransistorSpeed Controller and associated Contactor Panelused on the PDH Series Lift Trucks. This system isused on trucks Serial Numbers 374311 and higher.

The Big Joe Transistor Controlled Electrical System isshown in schematic form in Figure 1. Figure 2 providesthe wiring diagram for a PDH Type E lift truck and Fig-ure 3 provides the wiring diagram for a PDH Type EElift truck. Refer to these diagrams and the schematicsfor tracing of electrical circuits during troubleshootingand testing procedures.

2. CIRCUIT OPERATION.

While operation of the transistorized control system isautomatic, it is helpful to understand the operatingprinciples and features of the transistor controllerwhen troubleshooting trucks equipped with this con-troller. The controller is mounted on the controllerpanel, installed within the main housing of the lift truck.Figure 4 identifies the contacts of a typical controller.

2.1. Smooth Stepless Operation.

The Big Joe custom transistor controller allows supe-rior control of the vehicle's drive motor speed. Theamount of current delivered to the motor is set by vary-ing the "on" time (duty cycle) of the controller's transis-tors. This technique, called "pulse width modulation"(PWM), permits silent, stepless operation.

2.2. Current Multiplication.

During acceleration and during reduced speed opera-tion, the controller allows more current to flow into themotor than flows out of the battery. The controller actslike a DC transformer, taking in low current and highvoltage (the full battery voltage) and putting out highcurrent and low voltage. The battery only has to supplya fraction of the current that would be required by aconventional controller (in which the battery and motorcurrent are always equal). The current multiplicationfeature gives vehicles using these controllers greaterdriving range per battery charge.

2.3. Acceleration Limiting.

A built-in acceleration limiting circuit maintains a maxi-mum rate of power increase to the motor. If full throttleis applied at start-up, the acceleration ramp settingdetermines how quickly the output of the controllerincreases. The standard setting is such that with fullthrottle applied, the controller requires approximatelyone second to reach full output. This feature contrib-utes to smooth, even starts. (See adjustment instruc-tions to adjust acceleration rate setting.)

2.4. Current Limiting.

The transistor controllers limit the motor current to apreset maximum. This feature protects the controllerfrom damage that might result if the current were lim-ited only by the motor demand. The current limit fea-ture also protects the rest of the system. Byeliminating high current surges during vehicle acceler-ation, the stresses on the motor and batteries arereduced and their efficiency and service life areimproved. Similarly, there is less wear and tear on thevehicle drive train.

2.5. Plugging.

A form of electrical braking called plugging can beused to slow the vehicle. When the motor is reversedwith the accelerator advanced (i.e., when the vehicle ismoving), the armature acts as a generator. Currentfrom the armature flows through a plug diode in thecontroller. The controller regulates the current in themotor field winding to give an appropriate level of plug-ging torque. The vehicle slows smoothly to a stop, thenautomatically accelerates in the other direction. A tonemay be heard during plugging. The maximum pluggingcurrent is factory set and is field adjustable (seeadjustment instructions).

2.6. Undervoltage Protection.

The control circuitry requires a minimum battery volt-age to function properly. The controller is thereforedesigned so its output is gradually reduced if the bat-tery voltage falls below a certain level; the cutoff volt-age is listed in the specifications (see Table 1).Reducing the output to the motor allows the batteryvoltage to recover, and an equilibrium is established in

which the battery supplies as much current as it canwithout falling below the cutoff voltage.

2.7. Overvoltage Protection.

Similarly, the controller has a means of preventingoperation when battery voltage is too high for properfunctioning. Excess voltage can occur from an unregu-lated battery charger or from improper or faulty wiring.

2.8. Thermal Protection.

Because they are well designed thermally, the control-lers barely get warm in normal operation. If the internaltemperature of the controller exceeds 85°C to 95°C,the current limit drops off steadily until it is reduced tozero. Plug current, however, is not reduced, in order toprovide full vehicle braking under all thermal condi-tions. This allows the vehicle to be operated at areduced performance level in order to permit maneu-vering out of the way and stopping in a good place.After the controller cools down, full current and perfor-mance return automatically. The controller shifts fre-quency during overtemperature from its normal 15 kHzto 1kHz, providing an audible tone alerting the opera-tor to the overtemperature condition.

The controller is also protected from undertempera-ture. Should its internal temperature fall below -13°F (-25°C) from being parked overnight in an icehouse,for example, the current limit will be approximately 1/2of the set current. Once the controller warms above -13°F (-25°C), full current limit and performance returnautomatically.

2.9. Accelerator Fault Protection (Runaway Protection).

Throttle full range produces 0-100% duty factor at thecontroller output (unless limited by other conditions).Throttle fault detect is performed on the throttle inputsignals and virtually eliminates the possibility of run-away operation.

2.10. Fault Detection.

An internal microcontroller automatically maintainssurveillance over the functioning of the controller.When a fault is detected, the appropriate fault code issignaled via the LED, externally visible on the side ofcontroller (See Figure 6 or Figure 7 for LED locationon controller). The diagnostic codes flashed by theLED are listed in Table 4.

If the fault is critical, the controller is disabled. Moretypically, the fault is a remediable condition - for exam-

ple, an undervoltage fault is cleared when the condi-tion is removed.

The automatic fault detection system includes:

contactor coil open / shorted driver (F/R and shunt contractor)

contactor driver overcurrent / contactor coil short

contactor welded

emergency reverse circuit check

M- output fault

memory checks upon start-up

overvoltage cutback

power supply out of range (internal)

throttle fault

undervoltage cutback

watchdog (external and internal)

watchdog (internal)

2.11. Hand Held Programmer.

A hand held programmer is available that is designedspecifically for use with the controller. It serves dualfunctions of reading diagnostic data provided by thecontroller and adjusting certain performance values ofthe controller. The programmer (Part Number 005472-02)is available through your Big Joe dealer. If you requiredealer location information contact Big Joe Manufac-turing Co. phone number 847-675-8700.

2.12. Fault Recording.

Fault events are recorded in the controller's memory.Multiple occurrences of the same fault are recorded asone occurrence.

The fault event list can be loaded into the programmerfor readout. The Special Diagnostics mode providesaccess to the controller's diagnostic history file - theentire fault event list created since the diagnostic his-tory file was last cleared. The Diagnostics mode, onthe other hand, provides information about only thecurrently active faults.

2.13. Fault Recovery (including recovery from dis-able).

Almost all faults require a cycling of the KSI or brakeinput to reset the controller and enable operation. Theonly exceptions are shown in Table 2.

Table 2. Fault Recovery Exceptions.

2.14. Emergency Reverse: Enhanced PluggingCurrent.

Emergency reverse (or "belly button") switches aremounted on the handles of walkie vehicles. The emer-gency reverse switch is wired to the controller andother vehicle electronics in such a way that if the but-ton is pressed against the operator by the advancingvehicle, the controller enables enhanced plugging cur-rent to slow the vehicle and reverse its direction. After

the button is released, normal controller operation isnot resumed until neutral (no direct) is selected or untilthe brake is cycled (brake, then release). However,repeatedly pressing the belly button will reactive theemergency reverse function each time.

2.15. Arcless F/R Switching.

Each time the F/R switch passes through neutral, thecontroller's output is rapidly turned off (even if thethrottle is held on) so that all motor current hasstopped by the time the direction contactor drops out.Controller output always starts at zero and increasessmoothly at the set acceleration rate each time a newdirection is selected.

2.16. High Pedal Disable (HPD)

When the controller Key Switch Input (KSI) is turnedon, it will sense a "high" (advanced accelerator) andwill inhibit the output until the accelerator is releasedand reapplied. By preventing the unit KSI from beingturned on with the throttle depressed, this safety fea-ture (also called Neutral Start) requires the truck tostart smoothly from zero throttle when the battery isplugged in. It also protects against sudden startscaused when problems in the throttle linkage (e.g.,bent parts, broken return spring) give a partial or fullthrottle signal to the controller even with the accelera-tor released when the battery is plugged in.

FAULT RECOVERY

3. GENERAL CHECKOUT.

Carefully complete the following checkout procedure. Ifyou find a problem during the checkout, refer to Para-graph 5. for further information.

The checkout can be conducted with or without thehandheld programmer (See Paragraph 2.11.). Thecheckout procedure is easier with a programmer. Oth-erwise, observe LED for codes.

CAUTION: Put the vehicle up on blocks to get thedrive wheel off the ground before begin-ning these tests.

Turn the keyswitch off and make sure thatthe brake is applied (brake switch open),the throttle is in neutral, and the forward/reverse switches are open.

Do not stand, or allow anyone else tostand, directly in front of or behind thevehicle during the tests.

1. If a programmer is available, connect it to the pro-grammer connector.

2. Turn the keyswitch on. The programmer should"power up" with an initial display, and the control-ler's Status LED should begin steadily blinking asingle flash. If neither happens, check for continu-ity in the keyswitch circuit and controller ground.

3. If you are using a programmer, put it into the diag-nostic mode by pressing the "DIAGNOSTICS"key. The display should indicate "No KnownFaults."

Release the brake by pulling down the control arminto the operating position. The LED should con-tinue blinking a single flash and the programmershould continue to indicate no faults. If there is aproblem, the LED will flash a diagnostic code andthe programmer will display a diagnostic mes-sage. If you are conducting the checkout without a

programmer, look up the LED diagnostic code inTable 4.

When the problem has been corrected, it may benecessary to cycle the brake in order to clear thefault code.

4. With the brake released, select a direction andoperate the throttle. The motor should begin toturn in the selected direction. If it does not, verifythe wiring to the forward/reverse switches, for-ward/reverse contactors, and motor. The motorshould run proportionally faster with increasingthrottle. If not, refer to Paragraph 5.

5. If you are using a programmer, put it into the testmode by pressing the "TEST" key. Scroll down toobserve the status of the forward, reverse, brake,emergency reverse, and mode switches. Cycleeach switch in turn, observing the programmer.Each input should show the correct state on theprogrammer.

6. Check the controller's fault detection circuitry asdescribed in paragraph 6.3.

7. Take the vehicle off the blocks and drive it in aclear area. It should have smooth accelerationand good top speed.

8. Test the plug braking of the vehicle. Verify that theplug braking option is as desired (variable orfixed).

9. Verify that all options, such as high pedal disable(HPD), static return to off (SRO), and anti-tiedown, are as desired.

10. Check to see whether the emergency reverse(belly button) feature is working correctly. Verifythat the circuit is operational by momentarily dis-connecting one of the emergency reverse wires.The vehicle should be disabled and a fault indi-cated.

4. ADJUSTMENT.

To change a parameter using the programmer, pressthe "PROGRAM" key, and scroll down the ProgramMenu until the desired parameter is the top line of thedisplay. Press the appropriate "CHANGE VALUE" key("up" or "down") until the desired number is reached.The parameter is now set at the desired value. All pro-gramming occurs in real time. That is, the parametercan be changed while the vehicle is in operation.

Some parameters have dependencies on otherparameters. When the programmer is being used toadjust a parameter and a limit is reached, the displaywill stop changing. To see why the display has stoppedchanging, press the "MORE INFO" key. If the limit isrelated to another parameter, that information will bedisplayed; changing the value of the related parameter

may allow the original parameter to be adjusted fur-ther. Otherwise, the display simply says "Max Limit" or"Min Limit".

5. DIAGNOSTICS AND TROUBLESHOOTING.

The controllers provide diagnostics information toassist in troubleshooting drive system problems. Thediagnostics information can be obtained in two ways:reading the appropriate display on the programmer orobserving the fault codes issued by the Status LED.The Status LED is located on side of the controller(See Figure 6 or Figure 7 for location of LED on con-troller).

5.1. LED Diagnostics

During normal operation, with no faults present, theStatus LED flashes a single flash at approximately 1flash/second. If the controller detects a fault, a 2-digit

fault identification code is flashed continuously untilthe fault is corrected. For example, code "3,2" - weldeddirection contactor - appears as:

o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o(3,2) (3,2) (3,2)

The codes are listed in Table 4. For suggestions aboutpossible causes of the various faults, refer to Table 5.Troubleshooting Chart.

Operational faults - such as overtemperature - arecleared as soon as operation is brought within range.Non-operational faults - such as a throttle fault - usu-ally require the brake or keyswitch to be cycled afterthe problem is remedied.

5.2. Programmer Diagnostics

With a programmer, diagnostics and troubleshooting ismore direct than with the LED alone. The programmerpresents complete diagnostic information in plain lan-guage - no code to decipher. Faults are displayed inthe Diagnostic Menu, and the status of the controllerinputs/outputs is displayed in the Test Menu.

The following 4-step process is generally used fordiagnosing and troubleshooting an inoperative vehicle:(1) visually inspect the vehicle for obvious problems;(2) diagnose the problem, using the programmer; (3)test the circuitry with the programmer; and (4) correctthe problem. Repeat the last three steps as necessaryuntil the vehicle is operational.

6. MAINTENANCE

There are no user-serviceable parts inside the control-lers. No attempt should be made to open the control-ler. Opening the controller may damage it and will voidthe warranty.

The transistor controller is programmed at the factoryspecifically for the truck model on which it is equipped.It is important to replace the controller with the correctpreprogrammed unit to asure proper performance set-tings intended for that particular truck. See Figure 6 orFigure 7 for the preprogrammed controller number.

It is recommended that the controller exterior becleaned periodically, and if a handheld programmer isavailable, this periodic cleaning provides a goodopportunity to check the controller's diagnostic historyfile. It is also recommended that the controller's faultdetection circuitry be checked whenever the vehicle isserviced.

6.1. Cleaning

1. Remove power by disconnecting the battery.

2. Discharge the capacitors in the controller by con-necting a load (such as a contactor coil or a horn)across the controller's B+ and B- terminals.

3. Remove any dirt or corrosion from the bus bararea. The controller should be wiped clean with amoist rag. Allow it to dry before reconnecting thebattery.

4. Make sure the connections to the bus bars aretight. Use two well insulated wrenches for thistask in order to avoid stressing the bus bars.

6.2. Diagnostic History

The handheld programmer can be used to access thecontroller's diagnostic history file. When the program-mer is connected to the unit, the error log file is auto-matically uploaded into the handheld programmer.

To see the present status of the unit, use the MenuNavigation Key to select:

Faults->System Faults.

To access this log, use the Menu Navigation Key toselect:

Faults->Fault History.

The faults are shown as a code and descriptive text. Ifthere are multiple faults, you have to scroll through thelist using the Up and Down Buttons on the Menu Navi-gation Key.

The faults may be intermittent faults, faults caused byloose wires, or faults caused by operator errors. Faultssuch as contactor faults may be the result of loosewires; contactor wiring should be carefully checkedout. Faults such as HPD or overtemperature may becaused by operator habits or by overloading.

After a problem has been diagnosed and corrected,clearing the diagnostic history file is advisable. Thisallows the controller to accumulate a new file of faults.By checking the new diagnostic history file at a laterdate, you can readily determine whether the problemwas indeed completely fixed.

To clear the diagnostic history file, select:Faults->Clear Fault History.

You will be asked to confirm your actions. Use theincrement arrow (+) for yes and decrement arrow (-) tocancel and not clear the Fault History.

6.3. Test the Fault Detection Circuitry

1. Put the vehicle up on blocks to get the drive wheeloff the ground.

2. Disconnect the battery and make sure the key-switch is off.

3. Using an inline fuse holder fitted with a 10 ampfuse and alligator clips, connect the controller's M-and B- terminals.

4. Turn the keyswitch on, release the brake andapply the throttle. The motor should not operate,and the direction contactors should not pull in.

5. Leave the keyswitch on and remove the inline fusewire. The vehicle status should continue to remainoff.

6. Cycle the keyswitch off and on, release the brake,and apply the throttle. The vehicle should nowoperate normally.
