Re: (ET) Alltrax question.

Seven red blinks means the battery voltage is too high.  It may really be 
too 
high (still on the charger - very bad - or just off charge).  It's also 
possible that 
the factory accidentally set the voltage limit incorrectly. (Such errors 
are not 
unheard of.  My Alltrax arrived set up for an inductive throttle sensor, 
for 
some reason.  I did a lot of checking before I thought to connect a 
computer 
and read the setup.)

IIRC, the voltage limit can be read and adjusted with the configuration 
program (downloadable from alltraxinc.com).  You may need a Windows XP 
machine to run the program.

Note - regardless of this setting, the controller MUST be isolated from 
the 
traction battery during charging.  This isolation function is provided by 
the 
charge/storage - run switch shown on the Alltrax installation diagram.  It 
can 
also be accomplished with the main disconnect IF you have rewired the 
charger directly to the battery pack, bypassing the main.

WARNING - if, while you are charging, the controller is even CONNECTED, it 
is very likely to be damaged.   The controller need not be turned on for 
this to 
happen!
