V12 QUICK START GUIDE
(For a Fully Built Unit, PFC)
PLEASE read this quick guide in its entirety BEFORE powering up anything!
WARNING:
This document describes circuitry that is directly connected to the AC
mains, and contact with any part of the circuit may result in death or serious injury. By
reading past this point, you explicitly accept all responsibility for any such death or injury,
and hold Electric Motor Werks, Inc. harmless against litigation or prosecution even if
errors or omissions in this warning or the document itself contribute in any way to death
or injury. All mains wiring should be performed by suitably qualified persons, and it may
be an offence in your country to perform such wiring unless so qualified
1.
This charger will work ONLY on High-Voltage packs with resting voltage of at least 310V and CV point
of at least 340V (all numbers assume 240VAC input). Attempting to use this unit with lower voltage
battery will damage the charger and may result in a fire. Quick specs:
a.
Input voltage: 85-260VAC
b.
Output voltage: 310-400VDC
c.
Output power: 20-25kW (depending on version)
d.
Micro-controlled, BMS-aware, serial remote control, multiple overheat protections, fully
programmable in field, open source
2.
Inspect unit for possible damage in transit. If you see any signs of damage, do not power up. Contact us at
for further instructions. It is very helpful to have photos of the damage when
you contact us.
3.
Place unit so that the fan inlets and outlets are on the sides (i.e. not on top and bottom). This is a preferred
orientation for thermal management
4.
[OPTIONAL] Connect BMS to the unit. There is a 5-pin connector broken out from the box. It normally
has a jumper installed between the first 2 positions. In your actual system, if you want to use BMS, you
would remove that jumper and connect a normally closed BMS loop (such as CleanPowerAuto’s
miniBMS system) between those 2 terminals
5.
Connect DC wiring to the unit (STOP and read the entire instruction set for this step before doing
anything!)
