After my inquiry, HPEVS got right back to me to answer these questions. Works pretty much like I thought, even though the Curtis Manual doesn't really describe it:
The regen does automatically engage when the accelerator is released back to idle. The brake pot can simply be hand-controlled to adjust the strength of the regen (the brake pot does not have to be integrated with the vehicle's brake pedal travel). The brake relay wire (pin 3, orange wire) can be used to turn on the vehicle's existing brake lights when the regen engages, if the controller supports that function. -- View this message in context: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/REGEN-With-Curtis-1238-Controller-tp4677119p4677138.html Sent from the Electric Vehicle Discussion List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
