Mounting Configuration
The position and orientation should give maximum mechanical protection to the
controller.
Mount out of the path of water splashes from wheels or cowling and protect the
connector panel from direct splashing.
The controller should be mounted under the scooter cover.
Failure to adhere to the mounting conditions specified may lead to water ingress, which
could result in system malfunctions and long-term damage to the unit.
For peak performance, locate the controller so that air can flow over and around the
case, particularly if mounting in the tiller.
A position close to the batteries and motor is recommended to reduce the length of high-
current wires.
Use both screw positions to attach the controller. M5 cap screws are recommended.
Other M5 fasteners can also be used. Do not over tighten the mounting screws (max
8Nm).
Use a magnetic tip screwdriver for removing and fitting fasteners.
Refer to section 3.1.2 for recommended mounting orientations.
Regardless of mounting orientation, protect scooter wiring, connectors and
components (including those of the tiller head) from the risk of damage, water
splashes and/or water ingress, and route the cabling so that water will not run
down into the connector system.
Do not mount the R
HINO
2 in a position where the user can come into contact with
the unit. The case temperature can exceed 41°C.
If cover accessory is used and product is mounted in an orientation that will allow
water to pool, a drain or drain holes (of 2.5 mm diameter) should be drilled in the
cover.
