Hi, on the Domino throttle, what are the yellow and green wires for (smaller connector)? The throttle was supplied by LMX

thanks
 
The domino has a potentiometer with three wires for the throttle signal, and a switch with two wires that activates whenever you engage the throttle (as a safety switch, if you wire it in).

How is the switch meant to be connected?
I guess that if you use a contactor it could break the coil voltage but that shuts down the whole system. If you connect it to break the throttle signal then it might cause a throttle error? Does someone here use it connected and how?
 
You can use it in a couple of different ways, or just leave it disconnected.

You could wire it to your brake switch connector on the controller to cut the motor on zero throttle or use it for regenerative braking if that takes your fancy, if your system supports regen.

I don’t like regen because it removes the ability to coast when off the throttle, so I use ebraking instead using brake switches on the levers.
