Use of Safety Contactor for Critical Applications
An external safety contactor must be used in any application where damage to property or injury to person can
occur because of uncontrolled motor operation resulting from failure in the controller’s power output stage.
The contactor coil must be connected to a digital output configured to activate when “No MOSFET Failure”. The
controller will automatically deactivate the coil if the output is expected to be off and battery current of 1A or
more is measured for more than 0.5s. This circuit will not protect against other sources of failure such as those
described in the “Important Safety Disclaimer” on page 3.
Controller Mounting
During motor operation, the controller will generate heat that must be evacuated. The published amps rating can
only be fully achieved if adequate cooling is provided. Good conduction cooling can be achieved by having the bot-
tom edges of the case making contact with a metallic surface (chassis, cabinet).
Hall Sensors Connection
Connection to the Hall Sensors is done using a special connector on the front side of the controller. The Hall sen-
sor connector is a 10-pin Molex Microfit 3.0, ref. 43025-1000. Pin assignment is in the table below.
