PLESE NOTE  

Models from 2017 onwards have rear doors and a control panel accessible through these door

Electrics

• The wires from the control board to the batteries must be of at least 6mm². Anything less will cause overheating and even the possibility of fire. If you intend to run the loco excesively hard then it may be worth investing in 10mm² wire for the battery leads. If you are using the iDrive controller then the motor leads should be long enough to reach the controller directly. Connection is via a 6mm ring crimp.

• On the motor leads pair up the black wire from one motor with the orange wire from the other then the orange from the first to the black of the second motor.

• Which ever style connector you use make sure no bare wire is exposed which could come in to contact with the chassis / bogie. Wires should be tied back to keep them away from any moving parts.

IMPORTANT.

6mm wire is not designed for 120amp but can cope with it for short duration's. The wire should be left in exposed locations to allow for cooling. Do not tape wires together or run then in conduits or they may overheat.

Although it is tight horns can be mounted over the front bogie connectors. This The relays can also be mounted in this position. 

MPORTANT.

Please please please triple check that you have the battery terminals the right way around. If you do not have colour wire then use coloured tape to mark the terminals. Battery leads should be tied so they cannot be put on the wrong terminals. This is especially important with the link wire.
