Control System
Functional Description
The Control System consists of the A1 Control Board (Main Machine Controller) and the E1 Curtis 1210
Speed Controller.
The A1 Control Board controls the scrubbing and wastewater recovery functions based on Operator requests,
and motion and direction inputs from the E1 Curtis 1210 Speed Controller. The A1 Control Board can store
and display a variety of fault codes to inform the Operator of any machine fault conditions. The A1 Control
Board also supports special modes of operation called the “Programming Mode” and the “Service Test Mode”.
The Programming Mode is used primarily for “telling” the A1 Control Board how the machine is equipped so
that it can operate accordingly. The Service Test Mode allows you to operate various machine components
regardless of current inputs.
The E1 Curtis 1210 Speed Controller controls the drive motor that propels the machine based on Operator
requests. (Refer to the Wheel System, Traction section for more information.)

Frozen Parameters
Control System39Service Manual – SA40
The 18. FROZEN PARAMETER rst and second-level submenus allow you
to view the machine parameters that were saved prior to when an error
code was detected. This can be helpful when troubleshooting intermittent
problems that are causing a code to set.
Eleven different machine parameters are logged, and all but the error
code number and hour meter time are saved at 0.1 second intervals for
the 12.8 seconds leading up to the time of the error code. This results in a
total of 128 data points (one every 0.1 seconds) for each parameter. These
data points are displayed in a second-level of submenus.
The rst-level ERROR CODE submenu displays the error code number (32
in this example). The rst-level HOUR METER submenu displays the time
on the hour meter when the error code occurred (12:15 in this example).
The other nine rst-level submenus are links to the next (second) layer of
submenus that display the 128 data points corresponding to the functions
listed on the submenus.
Note that in the second-level submenus, data point #1 is the newest value
and #128 is the oldest value (that occurred 12.7 seconds earlier).

Electrical System
Functional Description
Overview
The electrical system consists of the switches, circuit breakers and contactors mounted on and underneath
the control panel assembly, the 150-amp main fuse, on-board battery charger (if so equipped) and the
batteries.
The electrical system is powered by two 12-volt or four 6-volt batteries for a total of 24 volts. Heavy cables
connect the batteries in series. On machines without an on-board battery charger, a large red main battery
pack connector is used for connecting the batteries to a “shelf” battery charger unit.
The control system will turn off the scrub system and recovery systems if the battery voltage drops too low to
prevent damage to the batteries due to excessive discharging.
The circuit breakers and a 150-amp fuse protect various circuits from excessive current.
47Service Manual – SA40
The machine wiring is color coded, and the wires are
marked corresponding to their location on the “Wiring
Harness Diagram” on page 57. (Wire W010 to the Brush
Contactor K2 is shown in this example.)
Page 48
Electrical System48Service Manual – SA40
On-board Battery Charger
An optional on-board battery charger is mounted on the bottom of the machine.
Interlock Circuit
The battery charger has an “interlock circuit” which consists of an internal
relay that interrupts the “Deadman” signal to the main control board, and the
Keyswitch Input (KSI) signal to the drive speed controller when the charger is
plugged into an AC power outlet. This prevents the machine from being propelled while the batteries are
charging.
Here is how the battery charger interlock circuit works. The interlock relay contacts inside the charger are
normally closed, allowing positive control voltage to be present in the Keyswitch, E-Stop, and Deadman
circuit. When all switches are closed, positive voltage is applied to the enabling inputs of the A1 Control
Board and the Speed Controller. When the AC power cord is plugged in, the relay is energized and opens the
relay contacts opening the circuit.

Delta-Q Charging Proles and Charging Progress
The Delta-Q battery charger does not communicate with the main machine
controller. It is a “stand-alone” unit. Models that have the Delta-Q charger have a
separate LED to communicate charging progress. By pressing a button on the
charger you can see what charging prole is in use. If you replace the batteries with a
different type of battery or replace the battery charger, you must select the correct
charging prole to be compatible with the batteries. There are a set of proles stored
inside the charger. You can interface directly with the charger to select the prole to
be used from that set. See the Delta-Q IC650 Product Manual (710-0138-Delta-Q.pdf)
for complete instructions on selecting the prole. Use the Delta-Q Battery Charging
Prole Table below to choose the prole to match the batteries that are in the
machine.

Recovery System
Functional Description
The Recovery System pulls the wastewater from the squeegee and directs it into the recovery tank. The
24-volt, three-stage electric vacuum motor creates a vacuum in the recovery tank with sufcient airow to
lift the used cleaning solution from the squeegee and into the vacuum hose assembly, which then directs the
water into the recovery tank.
The Operator can select from two vacuum power levels – standard and quiet vacuum.
The Recovery System includes the Vacuum
Hose Assembly, Debris Cage, Recovery Tank,
Vacuum Motor, Solid State Relay, Float Cage
Assembly and Drain Hose.
• The Vacuum Hose Assembly attaches to
the squeegee assembly and directs the
wastewater from the squeegee to the Debris
Cage and Recovery Tank.
• The Vacuum Motor creates a vacuum inside
of the Recovery Tank to pull the wastewater
from the squeegee into the Recovery Tank.
• The Float Cage Assembly contains two
internal plastic oat balls that will rise to
shut off the air intake to the Vacuum Motor
if the wastewater level in the Recovery Tank
gets too high. This is to prevent water from
getting into the Vacuum Motor and possibly
damaging the Vacuum Motor.
• The Debris Cage inside the Recovery Tank
catches any large debris or particulates to
keep these materials out of the Recovery
Tank. The debris tray cover can be removed
to clean out the Debris Cage.
• The Recovery Tank holds the wastewater
picked up by the squeegee. Note that the
Recovery Tank is hinged at the rear and tips
back for access to the Vacuum Motor. The
Drain Hose is used to drain the wastewater
from the Recovery Tank.

• The Solid State Relay (K1) controls the
voltage to the Vacuum Motor. Note that
the Solid State Relay has an LED that
lights when the Relay is on.

• The Flyback Diode (D2) reduces the highvoltage spike through the Solid State
Relay that can occur when the Vacuum
Motor is switched off. The inductive
nature of the motor can cause a large,
reverse polarity voltage spike across
the solid state relay. The yback diode
permits this energy to be dissipated

The yback diode uses a bridge

operation.

The following conditions must be met before the Vacuum Motor can start:
• There can be no major faults active.
• The machine must not be in a low-voltage condition.
• The Scrub System or vacuum mode must be activated (the Vacuum Mode Indicator will be on or ashing).
• The A1 Control Board must have recently detected a motion signal from the E1 Curtis Speed Controller. (The
A1 Control Board will switch off the Vacuum Motor after a maximum 10 second delay once it loses the drive
signal from the E1 Curtis Speed Controller.)
When the Operator selects a drive direction and presses the go pedal:
• The Brake - switch on Pin 6 in the E1 Curtis Speed Controller closes to ground. This drops the voltage on
the Motion Input line on pin J3-6 from 24v down to nearly 0 volts to signal the A1 Control Board that the
machine is now in motion.
• The A1 Control Board switches the Vacuum Contactor line on pin J3-12 to battery ground to energize the
Solid State Relay (K1) and switch on the Vacuum Motor.
Note that the output from the Vacuum Contactor line on pin J3-12 drives the Solid State Relay at 100 Hz
with either a 100% duty cycle for the high/standard vacuum mode, or a modulated (60%) duty cycle to
provide an average of 16.8V to the Vacuum Motor in the low/quiet vacuum mode.

Bench-testing the Flyback Diode (bridge rectier)
When functioning properly, the yback diode should conduct only when the voltage gets
reversed by the vacuum motor. To test the bridge rectier, use a DC continuity tester or
an ohm meter (on the R x 100 scale) as follows. If any of the internal diodes are shown
to be defective in any of the following steps the rectier must be replaced. (Refer to
steps 8 and 9 for the correct mounting position and wire connections.)
Note that the positive tab on the Flyback Diode is rotated 90 degrees from the other
three tabs.
1. Disconnect the two wires from the Flyback
Diode.
Reverse Bias Test
In the reverse bias direction, none of the internal
diodes should conduct.
2. Connect the negative test lead to the negative
terminal on the rectier.
3. One at a time, touch the positive test lead to the
remaining 3 terminals.
• If the meter beeps or reads continuity for any
of the 3, then the rectier is defective.
• If the meter does not beep, continue with the
next step.

Scrub System
Functional Description
The Scrub System includes the Scrub Deck, Brush or Pad Motor, Brush Motor Contactor (K2 relay) and
Deck Actuator Assembly. A 24-volt electric motor powers the brush/pad.
The scrub deck has four vertical positions:
• The scrub deck is in the fully-retracted (up) position when the machine is in the transport mode (no
scrubbing or vacuuming).
• The vacuum-only position lowers the scrub deck so the attached squeegee contacts the oor, but the
brush/pad is raised slightly above the oor. This position is used for wet vacuuming of wastewater from
the oor with no scrubbing.
• The “normal” scrub pressure position lowers the scrub deck so the brush/pad contacts the oor with
normal scrub pressure.
• The “extra” scrub pressure position lowers the scrub deck to its extension limit so the brush/pad contacts
the oor with greater than normal scrub pressure.
75Service Manual – SA40
The 20D Scrub Decks have a 20” brush plate assembly to accommodate
a variety of disc brushes. The 20D models can also be used with
several grades of pads by using the optional pad holder. The brush is
driven by a Brush Motor connected to a 90-degree Gearbox.
20D Scrub Deck

Scrub Deck and Motor
20D Scrub Deck
The 20D Scrub Decks use a
horizontally-mounted Brush Motor
with an integral gearbox to drive the
Brush Plate Assembly and attached
Brush. The Brush Motor is fastened to
the Motor Spacer, which is bolted to the
Deck Lift Plate Weldment, Brush Housing
and Lower Deck Plate.
The Solution Solenoid Valve Assembly
controls the solution ow to the Brush.

Deck Actuator Assembly
The Deck Actuator Assembly uses an electric Motor to run a lead screw
that extends and retracts the Tube and attached Plunger. The Plunger is
connected to the Scrub Deck to raise and lower the Scrub Deck to any of
four different positions:
• The fully-retracted (up) position is the Scrub Deck transport position
and is used when the Scrub and Recovery Systems are not active.
• Scrub Deck position 1 is the vacuum-only position. In this position the
Deck Actuator lowers the Scrub Deck just far enough for the squeegee
to contact the oor to pick up wastewater with the Scrub, Solution and
Detergent Systems off.
• Scrub Deck position 2 is the standard scrub pressure position.
• The fully-extended (down) position is the extra scrub pressure position.

Solution System
Functional Description
The Solution System is a gravity-feed system that supplies cleaning solution to the scrub brush/pad on the
scrub deck. The Solution Solenoid Valve controls the solution ow to the scrub deck. The A1 Control Board
sends a pulsed voltage signal to the Solution Solenoid Valve that opens and closes the Valve to regulate the
solution ow according to the ow rate selected with the solution ow adjustment switch.
The Solution System includes the Solution Tank, Water Filter, Solution Solenoid Valve Assembly and
associated valves and hoses.
Solution Tank, Water Filter and Valves
The Solution Tank holds
approximately 12 gallons [45
liters] of water/solution.
The Ball Valve controls the
solution ow to the Water Filter
and downstream Solution Hose
that is plumbed to the Solution
Solenoid Valve.

Solution Solenoid Valve
The L1 Solution Solenoid Valve controls the solution ow to the
scrub deck. The solution from the solution tank enters the L1
Solution Solenoid Valve through the side port and exits through the
rear port to the scrub deck as shown.
The two wires in the Electrical Connector get power from the key
switch and pin J3-11 - Solution Solenoid on the A1 Control Board.
The A1 Control Board sends a modulated signal through Pin J311 to switch the L1 Solution Solenoid Valve to ground and open the
L1 Solution Solenoid Valve for a period of time corresponding to the
selected solution ow rate. The period of time during which the
solution solenoid is energized (open) is referred to as the “duty
cycle” and is a percentage of the total six-second cycle.
For example, a 50-percent duty cycle would energize and open
the L1 Solution Solenoid Valve for three seconds during every sixsecond cycle.
• The Brake - switch on Pin 6 in the E1 Curtis Speed Controller is open and is not sending the drive signal to
the Motion Input line on pin J3-6 on the A1 Control Board.
• The Solution Solenoid switch on pin J3-11 is open, and the L1 Solution Solenoid Valve is de-energized and
closed. This prevents solution ow from the solution tank to the scrub deck.
If the Solution System is disabled, the Solution Solenoid switch on pin J3-11 will remain open regardless of
whether or not the A1 Control Board receives a drive signal from the E1 Curtis Speed Controller.
