Relay
I keep seeing a relay with some numbers on it in various schematic drawings. My cart had nothing and I am pretty sure I need one of those
Can someone point me in the right direction and let me know what I need to get, please? Thank you!! |

Re: Relay
A relay for what? On what cart? The cart listed in your signature is far from stock. Are you working on something else? If so, what?

Re: Relay
Thank you for the reply, Dave. I've been pointed in the direction by a few folks that all mentioned that I need the relay (folks with similar-not exact-carts). My build is slow (I just don't have a lot of time to stay on it like I would like) so I act on this as time presents itself.
Here is a pic that includes of what I "think" I need; if you have it and I need it I will place the order! Thank you again!! |

Re: Relay
Well that is what is confusing me! The voltage reducer does not show the need for it in their diagram but it has come up a couple of times. In the drawing provided, why is it there?

The relay will disconnect the voltage reducer from the batteries when the Key switch is off to eliminate any battery drain. If your voltage reducer has 5 wires it probably has an internal relay triggered by the 5th wire to control the 48v input. If the wiring diagram and relay you have has 4 wires an external relay would be needed to control the battery input. If you add an external relay be sure it is rated for 48v. |

Re: Relay
Thank you, guys (and my apologies for the delay to reply-worked all day again yesterday and got home late and too beat to check in).
My reducer is the 5 wire that I bought from you, Dave (2002?). |

Re: Relay
The VOLT-2002 does not require a relay to turn it on and off. It has a wire just for this purpose. Look at the schematic that came with your reducer and it will show you how to hook it up.

Re: Relay
Thank you, Dave! I have it wired up properly but kept seeing this relay shown places and it got me wondering! First cart newbie, and it came with nothing so I am doing my best to try and figure this all out! No real schematic (that I can find anyway!) that applies to what I am trying to achieve (and electric is not my strongest trade!) so I am moving forward cautiously and trying to get a firm grasp of everything!
I love the reducer that I got from you, am thankful that I don't have to buy a relay, and appreciate all of your help! |
