Discontinue movements 
immediately 

Reduce use until 
Ultracaps have the 
chance to charge more 

To ensure that the UPC is outputting 48V 
to power ULTRA, the ultra-capacitor bank 
must be within a certain window of 
voltages (21-29V). The percentage gauge 
on the ULTRA controller shows this 
voltage window mapped from 0 to 100%. 
If the percentage goes below 10%, an 
error will be triggered.

Within the UPC, several communication 
channels exist. This warning indicates 
that the communication has been 
intermittent between the main UPC 
processor and the current-limiting 
charging circuitry. If a power cycle does 
not solve the issue, or the issue persists, 
contact Customer Support, as the 
electronics may be malfunctioning and 
require replacement.

The charging circuit used to safely 
manage the ultra-capacitors generates 
significant heat while actively managing 
charging current. A certain amount of 
heat is normal. If the temperature 
exceeds a safe range, this warning will be
