QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE
NPX Series Non-Programmable
Motor Controller
Our NPX Series motor controllers are designed to
be stock replacement controllers for stock cars only.
With a peak current rating they are not designed
for lifted or high performance vehicles. For a high
performance controller order our AXE Series motor
controllers. NPX controllers are not program-
mable and must be ordered for the exact car
you are installing them in.
Safety Notes:
Alltrax recommends that all motor controller
applications must have a fuse in the battery
circuit. Failure to utilize a fuse will result in in-
jury, property damage, and void all warranties.
Approved fuses manufactured by Bussman or
Littelfuse: Controllers rated at 00 amps (or
less) use ANN250 Fuse. On controllers rated at
50 amps (or more) use ANN 00. [See:
Doc100-016-A_OP-Fuse-Install-Guide.doc]
Alltrax also recommends a diode across the coil
of the solenoid (Cathode to Positive, Anode to
Negative) if it is not already installed. A mini-
mum of a 100V 1A diode (a 1N 00 is suitable)
is required. See complete wiring diagrams for
orientation.
Working on electric vehicles, sudden unex-
pected events can occur, it is 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 and use
the proper safety equipment, eye protec-
tion, and insulated tools
• Disconnect batteries before installing or
working on the controller

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