NOTE:  

DO NOT disconnect or turn off the handset

or laptop at this time.

6. 

Cycle  the  key  switch  to  start  the  lift  truck  in
the  normal  mode.  Operate  the  lift  truck  until
the  alarm  code  reoccurs  (faults  out).  Then,  go

back  to  the  Alarm  Code  menu  and  write  down
the  alarm  codes  which  are  now  present.  These

alarms  should  be  investigated  first  to  isolate
the most prominent malfunctions.

NOTE:  

If the THERMAL PROTECTION alarm co-

des are generated, use the Tester Function = Tem-
perature. If the controller sees 75°C (175°F) or be-
low −10°C (14°F), it will reduce electrical current to
the  motors  and  regular  performance  of  the  lift
truck will slow down.

You can operate the truck with the Tester Func-
tion activated and monitor the controller's inter-
nal temperature in real time. For additional heat
dissipation,  fold  up  several  layers  of  aluminum

foil and place it between the controller mounting
base and the mounting plate to fill any air pock-
ets  in  the  mating  surfaces  which  will  impede
conductivity  and  prevent  the  heat  from  flowing
from  the  controller  heat  sink  into  the  mounting
plate of the controllers. The use of "conductivity
paste' is not recommended.

  CAUTION

If  the  battery  has  been  disconnected  and  recon-
nected  with  the  key  switch  in  the  ON  position,  a
voltage  spike  can  cause  corruption  of  the  Zapi
controller EPROM.

Remember  to  use  the  "Tester"  function  to  check
switch input from the control handle to the con-
troller.  This  procedure  will  also  alert  you  if  the
controller has been changed but the control han-
dle card has not been reprogrammed.

Zapi controller menu items:

• ACCELERATOR  =  Volts  Percent  %  =

Shows  Variable  Voltage  From  Traction
Thumbwheel (FWD or REV)

• FORWARD AND BACKWARD SWITCH =

"OFF to "ON"

• LIFTING CONTROL = Volts Percent % =

Lifting  and  Lowering  =  Proportional

Calibrated)

• LIFTING  AND  LOWERING  SWITCH  =

• BELLY,  HORN,  SNAIL  SWITCHES  =

"OFF" to "ON"

• SW8  =  Gray  Button  for  Alt  Functions  =

ance)
