Wiring Diagrams
Not all controllers use the A2 terminal. If not, bolt
the two wires together, insulate with tape or heat
shrink, then secure in safe location.

Configuration
WARNING: Disconnect all battery charging
sources while programming your AXE controller.
The controllers RS-232 serial port is referenced to
the B- battery connection. Beware of any possi-
ble ground loop faults between your computer and the controller which could damage
both the AXE Controller and PC, or cause personal injury.
Hardware: Use a STRAIGHT-THROUGH DB-9 pin /
RS-232 serial interface cable to connect the controller to the PC. Alternatively use the preferred DB-9
pin RS-232 serial port to USB adapter.
The AXE controller must be powered before the
ControllerPRO program will have any effect. Before
programming the AXE, READ THE SAFETY
NOTES BELOW. For bench programming prior to
installation, a fused 18V or higher battery may be
used to power the controller. Connect battery negative to the B- bus bar, battery positive to pin 1.
If you see an error “Motor Controller is Not
Responding”, verify the controller is powered up
and the connections are inserted correctly. If the
error message continues, uninstall then reinstall the
drivers for the communications cable. If the problem persists, contact Alltrax Technical Support.
Safety Notes:
Alltrax recommends that all motor controller
applications have a fuse in the battery circuit.
Many vehicles do not have a fuse, and will
need to have one installed. The following fuses
manufactured by Bussman or Littelfuse are
acceptable: For controllers rated at 400 amps
or less use ANN250. On controllers rated at
450 amps or more use ANN400. [See:
Doc100-016-A_OP-Fuse-Install-Guide.doc]
Alltrax also recommends a diode across the coil
of the solenoid if it is not already installed. A
minimum of a 100V 1A diode (a 1N4004 is suitable) is required. See complete wiring diagrams
for orientation.
Working on electric vehicles, sudden unexpected events can occur, it’s recommended to:
• Place the drive axle on jack stands—
wheels off the floor
• When working on wiring or batteries, always remove rings and watches
• Use the proper safety equipment, eye protection, and insulated tools
• Never connect a computer while the vehicle is being charged
• Disconnect batteries before installing or
working on the controller

diagrams for other configurations and
vehicles, please download our AXE
