3 — PROGRAMMABLE PARAMETERS:

Hourmeters

Two individual hourmeters are built into the 1243

GEN

2 controller, each with non-

volatile memory:

• a total hourmeter, that measures the total operating time (KSI on-time), and

• a traction hourmeter, that measures the time that a direction is selected.

Each hourmeter has a corresponding service timer and disable timer. Hourmeter
information is viewable via the programmer or the Spyglass display.

For each hourmeter, the service timer is used to set the time before scheduled

maintenance is due. When the set service time expires, the service warning fault
occurs and the disable timer starts. If the programmed disable time expires before
the scheduled maintenance is performed, the controller defaults to the programmed
traction fault speed.

The 1243

GEN

2 controller is shipped from the factory with each of its two hourmeters

preset to 0. If the controller is being installed in a new vehicle, these presets do not
need to be adjusted. If the controller is being installed in a “used” vehicle, however,
it may be desirable to transfer the existing hourmeter values to the new controller.
To do this, the existing hourmeter values must be entered as follows.

Each meter records time to 999999.9 hours (114 years), and will roll over

to 000000.0 if this is exceeded. The adjust high, adjust middle, and adjust low
parameters each set two of the digits on the meter: HHMMLL.

ADJ HOURS HIGH
The adjust hours high parameter is used to set the highest two digits, from
00 to 99.

ADJ HOURS MID
The adjust hours middle parameter is used to adjust the middle two digits,
from 00 to 99.

ADJ HOURS LOW
The adjust hours low parameter is used to adjust the lowest two digits, from
00 to 99. It is not possible to set tenths.

SET TOTL HRS
The set total hours parameter is used to apply the preset high, middle, and
low values to the total (i.e., KSI on-time) hourmeter. First, adjust the preset
values as desired for the total hourmeter. Then, program the Set Total Hours
parameter On, which automatically loads the preset values.
