The potentiometer used for the turn angle must be a 320 degree rotation device that is attached to the steer wheel in a manner to
cause a 1:1 rotation ratio between the two devices. Any ohm value potentiometer can be used, but it is suggested that it be at
least 2K ohms or above, to keep the wattage of the potentiometer to a minimum. The turn angle potentiometer provides a voltage
divider circuit that allows the left and right motor controller to determine the turn angle of the rear steer wheel of the vehicle.
The potentiometer is connected to the two controls as show in Figure 1. After the potentiometer is installed on the vehicle, it will
need to be adjusted to insure proper operation of the vehicle.
Section of Left Motor
Control (Master)

OPERATION:
P9 P12 P8 P12
To insure proper operation, the input voltage at P12 on both the left and right
controls must coincide with the turn angle of the steer wheel. When the steer

control should be 2.15 volts. As the vehicle turns left, this input voltage will
decrease, as the vehicle turns right, the input voltage will increase. The graph
320 Degree
in Figure 2 outlines the input voltages, the actions of the controls and the
Potentiometer corresponding turn angles of the steer wheel. A complete listing of input
voltages, steer angles and control actions can be found in Section 8.2 - 320
Degree Potentiometer Input. As an example of control operation as
Figure 1 compared to the input voltage, the following series of events takes place in a
left turn from the zero to the 90 degree steer wheel position. In the first 16 o of
travel (2.15 to 1.90 volts), there is no change to the inside wheel speed. Between 16o (1.90V) and 66o (1.10V), the inside motor will
reduce its speed proportionally from top speed at 16o to creep speed at 66o. There will also be also available two vehicle speed
limit enable points during the transition from 16o to 66o. Speed limit 1 can be enabled at 41o and speed limit 2 can be enabled at
60o. Between 66o and 71o, the inside wheel will be in a free wheel mode. As the steer reaches the 71o point, the inside wheel can
now be programmed to reverse and accelerate proportionally in the opposite direction. Above 86o is over travel for the turn
angle potentiometer.
SETUP:
Before any adjustments are done, jack up the drive wheels.
Install the potentiometer on the vehicle steer wheel in such a way to allow adjustment of the shaft with the potentiometer and
connected to both the left and right controls. Setup of the turn angle pot can be done in several ways, detailed below.
1. Push CONT 10
2. Adjust Handset to 95
3. Push STORE

Adjust the potentiometer until the Handset reads 110. Lock down the potentiometer shaft and turn the vehicle all the way to the
left turn stop, the reading should be 37 or less. Turn the wheel to the right turn stop, the reading should be 183 or greater.
After adjusting the potentiometer, be sure to ESC out of the monitor routine and then reset Function 25 to zero using the same
procedure as outlined above.
