Permanent Connection
You can “hardwire” the motor for either of 2 modes:
MODE 1: Highest Top Speed
(This gives the greatest top speed. Depending on the topography where the vehicle will be operated, you may want to have your motor in a permanent high speed mode. This is suitable when the hills are mild and the vehicle does not have oversized tires or low gear ratio rear-ends).
Connection for MODE 1:
Make a small jumper wire and connect the LR stud on the motor to the S2 stud on the motor. A short battery lead is suitable for this type of connection.
MODE 2: Lower Top Speed – greatest Ultimate torque
(This gives slightly slower top speed, but improves the ability to climb hills or do other stressful activities where great speed is not a requirement.)
Connection for MODE 2:
Connect motor in car as usual. Leave LR terminal disconnected from the system. Connect nothing to the LR terminal!
Switchable Connection
If it is desirable to switch from the MODE 1 to MODE 2 on the fly, this can be accomplished through the use of an EXTRA forward/reverse switch common to most golf cars. EMP has instructions for the application of a Club Car Forward/Reverse switch and instructions for the connection. Both a mounting template and a Instruction sheet are included with these instruction.
This type of arrangement is convenient when the use of the vehicle varies widely. For instance, if normal use is 1 rider on flat ground, then the vehicle could be kept in the MODE 1 (high speed setting). However, if intermittent higher loading (multiple passengers, very hilly conditions) is encountered, switching to MODE 2 will protect motor and decrease the rate of battery drain.
Note: Should you decide to employ the “switchable” connection, any jumper leads supplied by EMP connected to the terminal studs should first be removed or the switch will not work properly.
Use of Extra Club Car F/R Switch to enable Speed or Torque Modes
Instructions
- Take lead and connect “A” to “B”Connect “1” to extra stud on motor (LR stud) with cable (similar to battery cable)Use an EXTRA lead and connect terminal “2” to motor terminal “S2”. (Please note that you will now have 2 leads connected to motor S2 stud)Mount F/R switch in Golf Car so that handle is in accessible location. Please note that in position shown, motor will be in TORQUE mode. (The switch position for SPEED Mode would have the terminal marked “A” higher than “B”.
- Connect “1” to extra stud on motor (LR stud) with cable (similar to battery cable)Use an EXTRA lead and connect terminal “2” to motor terminal “S2”. (Please note that you will now have 2 leads connected to motor S2 stud)Mount F/R switch in Golf Car so that handle is in accessible location. Please note that in position shown, motor will be in TORQUE mode. (The switch position for SPEED Mode would have the terminal marked “A” higher than “B”.
- Use an EXTRA lead and connect terminal “2” to motor terminal “S2”. (Please note that you will now have 2 leads connected to motor S2 stud)Mount F/R switch in Golf Car so that handle is in accessible location. Please note that in position shown, motor will be in TORQUE mode. (The switch position for SPEED Mode would have the terminal marked “A” higher than “B”.
