CHAPTER
TWO
QUICK START
This document describes the main functionalities of the MC24 Speed Controller.
2.1 Warnings
When installing the MC24 speed controller in the vehicle, the following limitations shall be considered:
•The distance between the battery, the controller system and the motor should be as short as possible in order
to maximize the efficiency. It is preferable to place the controller system as close to the battery as possible and
extend the cables from the controller to the motor. Calibration will be needed depending on the final setup.
•The wire connections type between the power items must be crimped not soldered.
•The system must be placed in a ventilated place with proper air flow. If this is not possible, it is necessary to
install an external fan.
•The vehicle must have an inrush current limiter when powering MC24 for the first time.
•PID tuning is strongly not recommended, since it nullifies the warranty.
•An unappropriated use of the MC24 exempts Embention from responsabilities related to any damage.
Note: When working voltage is higher than 60V, use of insulating gloves are mandatory for installation and the system
must have a chassis fault detection system.
Warning: Careful! The system slowly discharges the voltage on the input terminals when the battery is
disconnected. Capacitors may remain charged unless enough time has passed.
2.2 Requirements
To dissipate the heat from the MC24 properly, there is a need to provide 16m/s of air speed against the heatsink.
