The technical principles behind the QuadCruise ATV Cruise Control are very simple but depend on the extensive development and testing of the operational software and quality of the components that have been combined to make up the finished product.

 

The ATV Cruise Control has been put to the test in adverse operating conditions in Australia and the United States, independently tested in the UK and granted European type approval by the Vehicle Certification Agency.

Monitors ground speed.

Monitors control switch, brake system and neutral gear selection.

Adjusts the throttle by controlling the electric actuator.

 

 

Controls the throttle by pulling or releasing a cable connected to the Cable Interface Unit (CIU).

 

 

 

 

Translates the motion from the throttle lever and the electric actuator to the carburettor via a new cable supplied in the kit.

 

 

 

Sends instructions from the operator to the computer to engage and adjust the cruise control.

 

Two versions of the control switch are supplied according to model.

 

In addition all models are supplied with an installation kit including wiring looms, cable ties, connectors and mounting brackets.

 

For ATV models without a suitable electronic speedometer a speed sensor is supplied.

 

Mounting brackets and other components are made to fit individual ATV models.

 

Most brackets are laser cut from '304' grade stainless steel.

 

The calibration of the computer and ratios in the CIU are factory set to suit the specific model of ATV.

 

Covers are provided for components for protection as needed.

 

 

The computer monitors the frequency of electrical impulses generated by the speedometer (or speed sensor).

 

The computer remembers the pulse frequency at the time when the SET key is pressed and then continuously adjusts the electric actuator (which controls the throttle) to maintain the pulse frequency at that same figure.

 

If the frequency drops below the set frequency, the computer applies more throttle. If it rises above the set frequency, the computer backs the throttle off.

 

Response is so quick and smooth that the vehicle’s speed effectively remains almost constant.
