Optimizer
The OPT4 Optimizer is a hand held user interface with a keypad and an alphanumeric display. It is used as
a calibration and diagnostic tool, to display various system values, and to make adjustments to the Superflex
4 Controller.
Figure 4 shows the Optimizer and its connecting
cable. The Optimizer cable length should be
limited to 120 feet.
Functions
A typical system application uses four single axis, bi-directional joysticks as inputs and controls four bi-
directional channels. Each channel has two proportional PWM (pulse width modulated) output signals, and
each signal has independently adjustable threshold, maximum output and ramp time adjustments. The AUX
output turns on whenever any of the joysticks are operated. Four digital inputs can be used to select high or
low range (dual speed option) for the 4 channels. Diagnostic indicator LEDS show the Superflex system’s
status and can be used for easy checkout. An Optimizer may be connected for calibration and
troubleshooting.
