Throttle Potentiometer

OPERATION
A throttle potentiometer is installed instead of a throttle switch with idle and full load contact. This potentiometer requires no further adjustment since the Digital Motor Electronic (DME) control unit itself learns the idle angle (idle switching point). The DME adds a fixed value to the learned idle value. The full load value is derived from the sum of these two values. The potentiometer must transfer this value to the DME in order to be processed by the DME as a full load signal.

If the throttle potentiometer is changed, the DME must be disconnected from the voltage supply for at least 1 minute. The DME then begins to learn the idle angle (voltage value) once again.
