Programmable high idle set switch and method of operating same

摘要

An electronic control for controlling a high idle set value of equipment having an engine is disclosed. The control includes an electronic controller electrically connected to a rocker switch comprising a high idle switch and a low idle switch. An engine speed sensor and a decelerator pedal position sensor are electrically connected to the electronic controller. The electronic control permits the equipment operator to program a desired high idle set point value. The control thereafter produces an engine speed command based on the high idle set point value. A decelerator pedal is provided to permit the equipment operator to reduce the engine speed command value below the high idle set point value.
