90
Notes:
The time that the R
HINO
2 will deliver the maximum sustained current to the
parameter (4.4.5.11).
To protect the electronics of the R
HINO
2, the maximum current will be reduced
further if the controller becomes too hot.

The
R
HINO
2
can deliver an additional current (
Boost Current
) of 10A (DS90), and 20A (DS120,
DS160) for the
Boost Time
of up to 10 seconds, to overcome transient loads such as starting
on a hill, climbing obstacles, etc.
If the
Boost Time
is reached, then the current is limited to
Current Limit.
Before the current can reach the
Boost Current
value again,
the motor current must stay
below the value of Current Limit for at least twice as long as it was above Current Limit.

Stall Timeout

Stall Timeout
0 – 51s
15s
If the throttle is deflected but the scooter can not drive because
It is on a slope that is too steep, or
It tries to climb up a curb that is too high, or
It is trapped,
then the maximum current (as set by the
Current Limit
parameter) will flow through the motor
continuously, because the motor is still trying to drive. This situation is called motor stalling.
Motor stalling can cause motor damage when the motor becomes too hot. To prevent
motor damage, the
R
HINO
2
disables drive after
Stall Timeout
seconds of maximum continuous
current.
If a stall timeout occurs, the scooter performs an emergency stop and the Status LED shows
Flash Code 4 (see section 5.2 for flash code descriptions). The scooter does not drive. To reset
the fault, turn the scooter off and turn it back on again.
