r off. This mode of operation is the primary mode for use of the vehicle. The golf caddy is controlled by the respective RTU as both entities are keyed with the same radio frequency. When the RTU moves away from the caddy, the electronics system determines the direction and rate at which the RTU is moving and will control the drive mechanism to the rear wheel set and their respective motor drives such that the vehicle will follow the RTU at a rate and direction equivalent to the RTU39。主開(kāi)關(guān)的位置包括:開(kāi),關(guān)和停。其外部充電器回路從無(wú)電到再次充滿(mǎn)2800mah的鎳氫電池最長(zhǎng)僅需6小時(shí)。設(shè)備有一個(gè)主要安裝部分,在指示燈亮?xí)r佩戴者能清晰看見(jiàn):通電,跟屁蟲(chóng)模式以及電量低。 follow me mode on。跟屁蟲(chóng)模式開(kāi)關(guān)會(huì)引起內(nèi)部電子啟動(dòng)無(wú)線(xiàn)電臺(tái)的高頻傳送。The power switch has a latching switch that requires positive and determined action to change state. The power switch will cause the internal electronics to power on. The power switch is integral with range switch and causes the RTU electronics to adjust the power output of the RF transmitter. The follow me mode switch will cause the internal electronics to activate the RF transmission of beacon.電源開(kāi)關(guān)有一個(gè)關(guān)閉按鈕要求正面和確定的行動(dòng)來(lái)改變狀態(tài)。因?yàn)槠渲饕δ苁莻魉涂勺R(shí)別的無(wú)線(xiàn)電臺(tái)信號(hào)且有一個(gè)精確和連貫的頻率也被編碼,所以只有相關(guān)的球包車(chē)能夠識(shí)別。The key functionality of the RTU is that it provides an RF transmitting location source for the Caddy receiver electronics and location system.
