E-STOP
As a safety precaution AGITO is equipped with an E-Stop (Electronic Stop) function. There are several
methods of applying the E-Stop:
•
Switching the “
Function Switch
” on the MASTER Controller (when enabled)
•
Pressing the
HUB E-Stop button
when using Pedals
•
Using an external input device connected to MASTER Aux 2 port (see pin-outs)
Generally braking is activated whenever the throttle is applied in the opposite direction to your
direction of movement. Alternatively using the DEC rate control dial, you can also adjust the behaviour
of how the AGITO drifts to a stop when the throttle is released entirely.
E-STOP: MASTER CONTROLLER FUNCTION SWITCH
Using the Drive Control menu, it is possible to assign E-Stop to the MASTER Controller function switch.
When in Sports mode this feature is displayed, when assigned, on the main screen:
Activation of the E-Stop function is then made by moving the switch either up or down (subject to how it
has been set in the menu)
E-STOP: EXTERNAL BUTTON VIA HUB
When using the AGITO Hub, the E-Stop button must always be connected. Activation of this button will
activate E-Stop no matter how the Function Switch menu has been set within the MASTER Controller.
E-STOP: EXTERNAL INPUT VIA 3
RD
PARTY DEVICE
If required, it is possible to create your own switch. A simple closed circuit between pins 7 & 10 of the
MASTER Controller AUX 2 port will activate E-Stop. See the pin-out diagrams for full details.
The braking and emergency stop function is programmed to stop as quickly and safely as possible
with a heavy payload attached without a dangerous loss of control that could result in more
unpredictable results
It is critical that all operators understand the braking dynamics of AGITO. Always test how changes
to mode settings affect these dynamics and always ensure that AGITO is operated in a controlled
environment.
