Default Solenoid activated F&R

ok alot of people have asked me how I do a F&R system using (2) 6 pole solenoids so I am posting the drawing I have that shows the wiring. Nobody laugh at the artwork please. I don't have a CAD program so it isn't "pretty". If someone wants to use a CAD program and clean it up, I would be grateful. This design was given to me, it isn't my idea, but it works. It's very similar to what Par Car does, but I have never liked the way they use the diodes on the "hot" wires.

lmao Scotty......

Back on topic for a moment..... something I forgot to mention in my original post.... This system works for both 36 and 48 volt systems, just buy the appropriate voltage solenoids.

OK, dumb question here, so this would replace a fnr switch on like a series cart, TXT, and you get to use the standard fnr switch like from a PDS cart? I am just trying to understand it all in my head. What solenoids do you use in this setup (brand). Thanks

The extra solenoids would be the same size/rating as the main solenoid because they pass the same current.

White Rogers makes the legendary # 586 in a 6 post configuration in both 36 and 48 volts. They are not cheap. List is $80 - $110

So outside of the convenience of a push fnr switch you really do not gain that much. It would be cheaper to just go with the heavy duty fnr to begin with.

You would get improved safety and performance. Even HD F&R can melt. Another reason for this is ease of operation ... The Ezgo F&R handle is too hard for some elderly people top operate.
