MS880 Setting the sensitivity

➤ Press the SET button until the speed regulator takes on the speed you are driving
at.
➤ Switch off the speed regulator by applying the brake.
➤ Press the SET button.
✓ You will hear a high-pitched signal each time you press the button.
✓ The speed regulator gently takes on the speed.
I
➤ If the reaction to the speed is too slow, press the SET button to increase the INIT
value.
➤ If the reaction to the speed is too sudden, press the RES button to decrease the
INIT value.
✓ You will hear a low-pitched signal each time you press the button.
➤ To save the set sensitivity values, press the brake.
✓ If the INIT value is changed, the speed regulator calculates the optimum GAIN
value and deletes the previous value in the control element.
Normally, no more settings on the control element are required. Therefore, quit
setup mode and test the speed controller in normal operation.
➤ If the speed regulator works too slowly or too suddenly in control mode, you
must make the GAIN setting manually (see chapter “Setting the control sensitivity
manually (GAIN mode)” on page 11).
3.4 Setting the control sensitivity manually
(GAIN mode)
The GAIN value must be increased if the vehicle slows down when the cruise
control is activated or if it reacts too slowly, for example excess loss of speed driving
uphill or excess acceleration driving downhill.
The GAIN value must be decreased if the vehicle speeds up when the cruise control
is activated or if it works too suddenly.
Example: You set a speed of 70 km/h and the vehicle's speed fluctuates between
65 km/h and 75 km/h during control mode. Normally the GAIN value ensures that
the cruise control operates smoothly in control mode.
NOTE
The normal functions of the SET and RES buttons are disabled in this
mode, which means you can use the buttons to make the settings.
