reversing pot box resistance
Robby from PQ tell me there is a thread on the forum telling how to reverse a vglide from 0-5k to 5k-0 anyone have any idea how to find it ???I have run searches every way I can think of--nothing.thanx Dave:thumbup:

Re: reversing pot box resistance
Not familiar with the thread or the vglide pot in specific, but if the pot has 3 connection tabs on it (A, B, and C) and has wires on 2 of the three (A and B) you should be able to reverse the resistance by using the center tab and the currently unused tab (B and C). The tabs aren't going to have the labels in the example. Best bet is to use a multi-meter and see if the resistance runs the way you want it. (Hope this helps more than it confuses)

Re: reversing pot box resistance
they are resistor carts. correct me if in wrong, pot box s are on carts with controllers?

Re: reversing pot box resistance
Idon't know much about the old resister carts but I believe they used pot boxes.What we are talking about is a multi step potentionometer used in 36v CC controller carts and very few 48v controllers.Dave

Re: reversing pot box resistance
there are no pot box in resistor carts just microswitches and resistor coils personally i like resistor carts more less **** to go wrong and ya can cross a lake with one as long as ya got scuba gear lol

Re: reversing pot box resistance
I have an older par car with a pot box. Does anyone know how to adjust the this for full throttle. Is it 5k ohm when at full throttle or 0 ohm when at full throttle or something in between
thnks in advance. |
Re: reversing pot box resistance
I used to adjust every 0-5k pot we sold with the old version 1 conversion kits. This kit required the pot to reach max throttle at certain travel point which was sooner than it's design.
Not too hard to change. Simply loosen the center shaft retainer nut and rotate the shaft a bit then snug it down and recheck the out put to see if you went far enough or the right way.... repeat until you get the desired result and then lock it down. We learned that 0-4600 produced the same 100% signal as a true 5000Ω signal for our controllers, so we typically shot for 4800. Hope this helps |
