Important Warning

Carefully follow the wiring instructions provided in the Power Connection section of

the User Manual. The information on this datasheet is only a summary.

Mandatory Connections

It is imperative that the controller is connected as shown in the above diagram in order to

ensure a safe and trou ble-free operation. All connections shown as thick black lines line

are mandatory. The controller must be powered On/Off using switch SW1on the Pwr Ctrl

tab. Use a suitable high-current fuse F1 as a safety measure to prevent damage to the

wiring in case of major controller malfunction.

Emergency Switch or Contactor

The battery must be connected in permanence to the controller’s VMot tabs via a

high-power emergency switch or contactor SW2 as additional safety measure. The user

must be able to deactivate the switch or contactor at any time, independently of the con-

troller state.

Precautions and Optional Connections

Note 1: Backup battery to ensure motor operation with weak or discharged batteries, con-

nect a second battery to the Power Control wire/terminal via the SW1 switch.

Note 2: Use precharge 1K, 0.5W Resistor to prevent switch arcing.

Note 3: Insert a high-current diode to ensure a return path to the battery during regenera-

tion in case the fuse is blown.

Note 4: Optionally ground the VMot tabs when the controller is Off if there is any concern

that the motors could be made to spin and generate voltage in excess of 60V.
