Smartec®

Accelerator - An electric sensor that replaces the trunnion arm and mechanical linkage function that is found in a traditional hydrostatic drive system.

CAN - Control Area Network, A communication protocol for active components in a system.

Continuity - Is an uninterrupted path from point A to point B.

Contactor - An electromagnetic switch device (a relay) used for switching an electrical circuit.

Deck Controller - The computer controller for the deck motors, reports to the Traction Controller.

Deck Motor - The electric motor that powers the cutting blades.

Digital Display - LCD dash display that communicates system status from the traction controller to the operator.

DMM - Digital Multi-Meter; combination ohm, voltage and current meter.

Drive Motor - The electric motor that powers the gear case.

Electric Current - Is the rate of charge flow past a given point in an electric circuit measured in Amps.

Electric Short - A low resistance connection between two points in an electrical circuit. The current flows through the area of low resistance, bypassing the intended current flow in the circuit.

Integrated Electric Transaxle - The electric motor and gear case assembly that transmits power to the wheels.

NC - Normally closed switch.

NO - Normally open switch.

Ohm Meter - A meter that only measures resistance, measured in ohms.

Resistance - Is the level of opposition to current flow in an electrical system, measured in Ohms.

Smartec Interface Tool - Diagnostic tool for use with the Traction Controller to aide in troubleshooting and repairs.

Smartec ZT 45 Traction Controller - The computer controller for the drive and deck system.

Voltage - Is a measurement of the electrical energy in a circuit at a given point; measured in volts.

Voltage Inverter - An electrical device that converts the system DC voltage to AC voltage.

Wiring Harness - Grouping of conductors (wires) that carry information and electricity.
