Wiring Diagrams
Not all controllers use the A2 ter inal. If not, bolt
the two wires together, insulate with tape or heat
shrink, then secure in safe location.

Configuration
WARNING: Disconnect all battery charging
sources while progra ing your AXE controller.
The controllers RS-232 serial port is referenced to
the B- battery connection. Beware of any possi-
ble ground loop faults between your com-
puter and the controller which could damage
both the AXE Controller and PC, or cause per-
sonal injury.
Hardware: Use a STRAIGHT-THROUGH DB-9 pin /
RS-232 serial interface cable to connect the control-
ler to the PC. Alternatively use the preferred DB-9
pin RS-232 serial port to USB adapter.
The AXE controller ust be powered before the
ControllerPRO progra will have any effect. Before
progra ing the AXE, READ THE SAFETY
NOTES BELOW. For bench progra ing prior to
installation, a fused 18V or higher battery ay be
used to power the controller. Connect battery nega-
tive to the B- bus bar, battery positive to pin 1.
If you see an error “Motor Controller is Not
Responding”, verify the controller is powered up
and the connections are inserted correctly. If the
error essage continues, uninstall then reinstall the
drivers for the co unications cable. If the prob-
le persists, contact Alltrax Technical Support.
Safety Notes:
Alltrax reco ends that all otor controller
applications have a fuse in the battery circuit.
Many vehicles do not have a fuse, and will
need to have one installed. The following fuses
anufactured by Buss an or Littelfuse are
acceptable: For controllers rated at 400 a ps
or less use ANN250. On controllers rated at
450 a ps or ore use ANN400. [See:
Doc100-016-A_OP-Fuse-Install-Guide.doc]
Alltrax also reco ends a diode across the coil
of the solenoid if it is not already installed. A
ini u of a 100V 1A diode (a 1N4004 is suit-
able) is required. See co plete wiring diagra s
for orientation.
Working on electric vehicles, sudden unex-
pected events can occur, it’s recommended to:
• Place the drive axle on jack stands—
wheels off the floor
• When working on wiring or batteries, al-
ways remove rings and watches
• Use the proper safety equipment, eye pro-
tection, and insulated tools
• Never connect a computer while the vehi-
cle is being charged
• Disconnect batteries before installing or
working on the controller

diagra s for other configurations and
vehicles, please download our AXE
