BRAKE MENU
PARAMETER
ALLOWABLE RANGE
DESCRIPTION
Delay
0–1 s
Sets the length of delay between when zero speed is commanded and the
electromagnetic brake is engaged.
Fault Check
On/Off
Enables/disables the fault detection on the EM brake.
Hold Voltage
10–24 V
A high initial voltage is applied to the brake coil when the brake is first
released. After approximately 1 second, this peak voltage drops to the
programmed Hold Voltage. The parameter should be set high enough to hold
the brake released under all the shock and vibration conditions the vehicle
will be subjected to.
Brake Light
On/Off
When set to On, the horn output (J1 Pin 3) will act as a brake light driver. The
brake light must be driven by a relay, as shown in Figure 8.
The brake light will be turned on when the throttle is returned to neutral and
will remain on for about 2 seconds after the EM brake is engaged.
When the horn output is used as a brake light driver, Fault Beep (see Horn
menu) should be programmed Off.
When Brake Light is set to Off, the horn output acts as a horn driver.

HORN MENU
PARAMETER
ALLOWABLE RANGE
DESCRIPTION
Fault Beep
On/Off
When programmed On, the horn will be used to provide audible fault codes
whenever faults are present. These are the same fault codes that are flashed
by the status LED. If a fault should occur while the vehicle is driving in reverse
with the reverse beep active, the fault signal will take precedence. If this
audible fault alarm is not wanted, set Fault Beep to Off.
Reverse Beep
On/Off
When programmed On, the horn will sound whenever the vehicle is being
driven in reverse. On vehicles with reverse switches, the horn will sound when
the reverse switch is activated.
Beep Constant
On/Off
Sets the reverse beep to be a constant tone (when programmed On) or a 1Hz
pulse (when programmed Off).
