GENERAL INFORMATION
The Excel vehicle with ERIC Charging system uses a 48-volt electrical system with a shunt-wound, 3.1 hp motor that
is powered by six 8-volt lead-acid batteries and charged by a high-frequency charger. The Excel vehicle with ERIC
Charging system includes several additional features.
ACCESSORIES
For powered accessories that need to be controlled by the key switch, use the gray wire with a female bullet connector
located behind the instrument panel.
CHARGE INDICATOR LIGHT
Excel vehicles with ERIC Charging system feature a dash mounted charge indicator light (below the steering column)
that serves two functions: 1) Battery low state of charge warning, and 2) Charging confirmation. The charge indicator
light is controlled by pin 11 of the controller.
Battery Low State of Charge Warning
• The light comes on and remains solid when the battery state of charge falls below 20%.
• The light begins flashing when the battery state of charge falls below 10%.
Charging Confirmation
• The light will flash three times and the reverse buzzer simultaneously will sound three times to indicate a battery
charging session has begun.
See following NOTE.
NOTE:
The number of flashes and beeps can vary depending on the Beep Option setting.
ATTRIBUTES OF THE EXCEL SYSTEM
• Excel is used in Precedent models only.
• Excel utilizes the 1515 controller instead of the 1510A.
• The Excel 1515 controller uses half-bridge technology allowing cooler operating temperatures and increased
motor braking.
