PG DRIVES TECHNOLOGY AC TRACTION – HAND-HELD PROGRAMMER
4 Programmer Map
The Programmer has a menu structure that allows smooth and swift parameter adjustments, as well as system diagnostics and
testing.
Upon initialization, the Programmer will display the ‘Calibrator’ screen, as shown below, which prompts you to select the controller
type. (AC Traction is shown in this example). Once the controller type is selected, there are then programming, diagnostic and
test options available.
Some parameters e.g. 3.8 Truck Type Select, require that the power to the controller be cycled via the keyswitch before the new
value will be accepted. These parameters are marked on the Programmer’s screen with the word ‘Key’.
