Forward / off / reverse mode or push-button operation

Some controllers can be used with either a 3 position toggle or rocker switch to give forward / off / reverse operation, or with two push buttons to give ‘go forward’ and ‘go reverse’ control.

The wiring for this is in the diagram below.

Notes:

  • Controllers with a high pot lockout feature will need to have this disabled if using push buttons.
  •  This circuit is not recommended for the Pro-100 / 160 / 360 models, as it will result in the controller switching off when changing direction. A better way is to use the L1 / L2 push button inputs and set the throttle input mode to PB2 [needs 2.5.3 or later software].
