FUNCTION 6
FW RATIO
(Push
6)
This function sets the ratio between armature and field
current when operating below the Field Weakening Start
point. The setting represents the quantity of field current
changed for each 1 amp of armature current changed.
Max

72/80 55
The ratio value (VAL) is the set value divided by 10 and
rounded to the lowest whole number.
Example : Setting of 45 = 45/10 = 4.5 = 4 VAL.

Important Note: This function is used to optimize motor
and control performance, and this setting will be
determined by GE and OEM engineers at the time of
vehicle development. This setting must not be changed by
field personnel without the permission of the OEM.
FUNCTION 8

FUNCTION 13
SPEED LIMIT 3
( Push 13 )
The SL3 set speed limit is activated by the Truck
