Control System
Functional Description
Overview
The control system consists of the A2 Control Board Assembly, the A3 Switch/Display Panel Assembly and
associated sensors and circuitry.
A2 Control Board Assembly
The
A2 Control Board Assembly
, sometimes referred to the
main controller, communicates with the
Curtis A1 Speed
Controller
and the A3 Switch/Display Panel Assembly to
coordinate the operation of the various machine systems.
The
A2 Control Board Assembly
is fastened to the
Electrical
Mount
behind the electrical panel cover assembly to the
left of the Operator seat.
One primary function of the
A2 Control Board Assembly
is
to position the scrub brushes relative to the floor surface
using a lift actuator motor. The
A2 Control Board Assembly
continuously monitors the brush motor current draw to
maintain the desired scrub pressure on the floor.
• If the brush motor current drops below the desired
range, the
A2 Control Board Assembly
switches on the
lift actuator motor to move the scrub deck downward
until the brush motor current draw is within the
correct range for the scrub pressure selected.
• If the brush motor current rises above the desired
range, the
A2 Control Board Assembly
switches on the
lift actuator motor to lift the scrub deck upward until
the brush motor current draw is again within the
correct range for the scrub pressure selected.
Note:
Refer to the
Scrub System
section in this
manual for a complete explanation of
scrub deck operation.
A secondary function of the
A2 Control Board Assembly
is to detect any system failures and display the
corresponding error code on the display panel, or store it in the control board’s recall memory mode. The
error codes are used to help service technicians determine the fault and to guide in repairing a specific
system malfunction quickly.
Note:
See the
Troubleshooting
section for further information.
The
A2 Control Board Assembly
also allows you to change program settings for a set of specific machine
functions. See the
Main Control Programming Options
section in this manual for further information.
