SPEED MODES
The 1212/1212P controller’s Multi-Mode
TM
feature allows operation in two distinct modes: Mode 1 and
Mode 2. These modes can be programmed to provide two different sets of operating characteristics,
which can be useful for operation in different conditions. For example, Mode 1 could be programmed
such that the vehicle moves slowly for precise, indoor maneuvering, and Mode 2 programmed for
higher speed, long distance travel outdoors.
The controller is in Mode 2 when the mode switch is in the On position (input connected to B+).
Leaving the mode input floating or actively switching it Off (pulling it to B-) puts the controller in
Mode 1.
The Speed menu allows the maximum speed in forward and reverse to be set independently in Mode
1 and Mode 2. The position of the speed limit pot determines whether the programmed Max Speed or
Min Speed—or a speed between these two programmed speeds—is in effect. Speed is varied linearly
over the range between the two speeds in each mode, in forward and reverse.

PARAMETER
ALLOWABLE RANGE
DESCRIPTION
M1/M2 Max Speed
0–100 %
During forward operation, defines the requested speed at full throttle when
the speed limit pot is in its maximum speed position.
Note: Allowable range is restricted by the M1/M2 Min Speed setting.
M1/M2 Min Speed
0–100 %
During forward operation, defines the requested speed command at full
throttle when the speed limit pot is in its minimum speed position. Min Speed
cannot be set higher than the programmed Max Speed.
Note: Allowable range is restricted by the M1/M2 Max Speed setting. Note:
For this parameter to apply, a speed limit pot must be installed in parallel with
the throttle and the Speed Limit Pot parameter must be programmed On (see
Throttle menu).
M1/M2 Rev Max Speed
0–100 %
During reverse operation, defines the requested speed at full throttle when
the speed limit pot is in its maximum speed position.
Note: Allowable range is restricted by M1/M2 Rev Min Speed setting.
M1/M2 Rev Min Speed
0–100 %
During reverse operation, defines the requested speed command at full
throttle when the speed limit pot is in its minimum speed position. Rev Min
Speed cannot be set higher than the programmed Rev Max Speed.
Note: Allowable range is restricted by M1/M2 Rev Max Speed setting. Note: For
this parameter to apply, a speed limit pot must be installed in parallel with
the throttle and the Speed Limit Pot parameter must be programmed On (see
Throttle menu).
