THE CONTROL CONSOLE
For operator ergonomics, the control console houses all the primary function buttons
are grouped in a central area. The key switch, main keyboard, directional switch and
off-aisle wand switch are clustered in the back area. The directional switch (forward
and reverse) is located in front of the console for easy fingertip operation.
Accelerator Lever
(A)
Enables the machine to move forward or backwards once depressed.
Speed Control
(B)
This knob controls the rate at which the machine moves. Turning the knob
clockwise will increase the speed. Turning the knob counter-clockwise will decrease
the machine speed.
Directional Switch
(C)
When you flip the switch down, the machine moves backwards or flip the switch
upward, the machine will go forward.
Directional Indicator
(D)
This indicator displays which direction the
Phoenix
will travel once the Accelerator
Lever is depressed. A light is available for each direction. Amber when set to
forward. Red when set to reverse.
Key switch
(E)
Controls the machine’s power (On/Off) with a key for safety. All operational
settings are retained even when the power is turned off and on. This also serves as a
reset switch when error or fault codes.
Emergency Belly Bar
(F)
If this bar is to be depressed it will override the directional switch and force the
Phoenix
to go forward. Most useful if backed into a corner or object to prevent from
pinching the operator.
Off-aisle wand switch
(G)
On/Off control for the water supply to the wand and vacuum motor. If the switch is
in the On position it will force the battery gauge to blink 6 LEDs to signify the wand is
currently on.
Battery Gauge
(H)
This gauge displays the remaining battery life. The gauge has a readout of 10
LEDs. 3 Green, 4 Amber, 3 Red. This gauge will also display the fault code if the
system has an error represented by the number illuminated flashing LEDs.
See
Fault/Diagnostics Codes below for specific code.
If the battery life is low the battery gauge bar icon will be flashing to signal the operator
that the machine is almost out of power. Once this signal is displayed to the operator,
all functions will shut off including the transport mode. The operator has to turn the
key
switch OFF and then, ON
to reset the machine. The machine then will only have a few
minutes left of reserve power for a short
Vacuum only mode
to pick up remaining
solution on the floor and
Transport
power.
Solution Control
(I)
This knob controls the rate at which solution is put down. Turning the knob
clockwise will increase the amount of solution put down. Turning the knob counter-
clockwise will decrease the solution rate.
The knob can be adjusted between
0.25
gpm up to
1.1
gpm.
