Ignition Sensing
The vehicle computer contains an Ignition Sense feature that detects when the ignition switch is turned off and
shuts the vehicle computer down after a preprogrammed timeout. This feature allows the operator to use the
vehicle computer for a predetermined time period after the ignition switch is turned off, then shuts the vehicle
computer down automatically to prevent over-discharge of the forklift battery. The timeout period is adjustable by
the user. The normal current draw of a suspended vehicle computer is approximately 500mA. When the vehicle
computer shuts down using the Ignition Sense feature, current draw is reduced to approximately 5 mA. This feature
provides the automatic shutoff functionality of an external relay, without requiring an actual relay and has the added
benefit of allowing the user to work for a preset time period before shutting down.
