Fuses
Use a 6.3A Fuse for protection of the auxiliary
circuits
For protection of the power unit, refer to diagrams.
The Fuse value shown is the maximum allowable.
For special applications or requirements these
values can be reduced.
For Safety reasons, we recommend the use of
protected fuses in order to prevent the spread of
fused particles should the fuse blow.
Installation of the Hardware
Before performing any operations, ensure thal the
battery is disconnected. When the installation is
‘complete, start the machine with the drive wheels.
raised from the floor to ensure that any potential
installation errors do not compromise safety
‘After operation, even with the Key Switch open,
the internal capacitors may remain charged for
some time. For safe operation, we recommend
that the battery is disconnected, and a short circuit
's made between Batlery Posilive and Battery
Negative power terminals of the inverter using a
Resistor between 10 ohm and 100 ohm
Positioning and Cooling of the Controller
Install the inverter with the base-piate on a flat
metalic surface that is clean and unpainted
Apply a light layer of thermo-conduetive grease
between the two surfaces to permit better heat
dissipation.
Ensure that the witing of the cable terminals and
connectorsis carried out correctly.
Fit transient suppression devices to the hom,
solenoid valves, and contactors not connected to
the controler
The heat generated by the power block must be
dissipated. For this to be possible the
‘compartment must be ventilated and the heat sink
material ample.
‘The heat sink material and system should be sized
on the performance requirement of the machine.
Abnormal ambient ait temperatures should be
considered. In situations where ventiation is poor
or heat exchange is dificult, forced air ventilation
should be used.
Issue B= 4/07/2013
The thermal energy dissipated by the power block
‘module varies and is dependent on the current
drawn and the duty cycte.
Wirings: Power Cables
The power cables must be as short as possible to
minimize power losses. They must be tightened
fon controller power posts with a Torque of 13
16Nm:
The AC-3 FLASH module should only be
connected to a traction battery. Do not use
converters, outputs or power supplies. For special
applications please contact the nearest Zapi
Service Cente.
Monten
Do not connect the controller to a battory with
@ nominal voltage different than the value
indicated on the controller label. A higher
battery voltage may cause power section
failure, A lower voltage may prevent the logic
operating.
Wirings: VO Connections

‘A.cable connected to the wrong pin can lead to
short circuits and failure; before turning on the
truck for the first time, verify with a multimeter
the continuity between the starting point and
the end of a signal wire,

Main Contactor and Key Connection
‘The connecton of the baltery ine switches must
be carried out following ZAP! instructions.
If a mechanical battery line switch is installed, iis
necessary that the key supply to the inverter is
‘open together with power batiery line; if not, the
inverter may be damaged if the switch is opened
during a regenerative braking,

\when the voltage on the battery power connection
‘overtakes 40% more than the baltery nominat
voltage or if the Key is switched off before the
battery power line is disconnected.
Insulation of Truck Frame
Mourton
Tho truck frame must be isolated from all
electrical potential of the truck power line, in
accordance with EN-1175 “Safety of machinery
~ Industrial truck", chapter 5.7
Protection and Safety Features
Protection Features
The AC-3 FLASH is protected against some
controller injuries and malfunctions:
Battory Polatity Inversion
It ig necessary to fit a MAIN CONTACTOR to
protect the inverter against reverse battery polarty
and for safely reasons.
Connection Errors
‘All inputs are protected against connection errors.
‘Thermal Protection
It the controller temperature exceeds 75 °C, the
maximum current is reduced in proportion to the
thermal increase, The temperature can never
exceed 100°C.
Extomal Agents
The inverter is protected against dust and the
spray of quid to a degree of protection meeting
IP54 (Molex Minift connectors), IP65 (Ampseal
and Amp Saab connectors).
Protection Against Uncontrolled Movements

Low Battery Charge
When the battery charge Is low, the maximum
current is reduced to half of the maximum current
programmes.
issue 8 — 4/07/2013,
Protection Against Accidental Start-up
A precise sequence of operations is necessary
before the machine will start
(Operation cannot begin if these operations are not
carried out correctly.
Requests for drive must be made after closing the
key switch.
Operational Features
+ Speed control
= Optimum behaviour on a slope due to the
‘speed feedback:
Regenerative braking when the accelerator
pedal is partially released (deceleration).
+ The motor speed follows the accelerator,
starting regenerative braking if the speed
overtakes the speed setpoint
= Stable speed in every position of the
accelerator.
Regenerative release braking based upon
deceleration ramps.
= Direction inversion with regenerative braking
based upon deceleration ramp.
Regenerative braking and direction inversion
without contaciors: only the main contactor is.
‘present
= The release braking ramp can be modulated
by an analegue input, so that a proportional
brake feature is obtained.
(Optimum sensitivity at low speods.
Voltage boost at the start and with overload
to oblain more torque (with current contre).
+ High efficiency of motor and battery due to
high frequency commutations,

+ Test function within console for checking
‘main parameters.
Diagnosis
The microcontroller continually monitors the
Inverter and carries out a diagnostic procedure on
the main functions, The diagnosis is made in 4
points:
41. Diagnosis on key switch closing that checks:
watchdog circull, current sensor, capacitor
charging, phase's voltages, contactor drives,
ccan-bus Interface, thal the switch sequence
for operation is correct and that the output of
accelerator unit is correct
2 Standby diagnosis in stby that checks:
walchdog circuit, phase’s voltages, contactor
driver, current sensor and can-bus interface.
3. Diagnosis during operation that checks:
watchdog circults, contactor driver, current
sensors and can-bus interface
4. Continuous diagnosis thal chacks:
temperature of the inverter, motor
temperature.
Diagnosis is provided in two ways. The digital
console can be used, which gives detailed
information about the failure; the falure code Is
also displayed on the MOI.
