Navitas AC conversion diode requirement
So, I decided to go AC conversion for my 2016 CC Precedent. I currently have a 500 amp Alltrax and when I upgraded, Alltrax requires 2 diodes on the solenoid. I can’t find in the Navitas instructions what the diode requirement is. I can’t remember for the life of me what the stock solenoid had for a diode. Anyone know?
Also, anyone interested in an Alltrax 500 amp controller with fan, it’s for sale. Thanks! |

Re: Navitas AC conversion diode requirement
I have the Navitas Ac system. The directions say you do not need the diode on the the main terminals. I did use the fly back diode on the small terminals. Sergio may give his opinion on this because I am not fully convinced you don’t need it.

Re: Navitas AC conversion diode requirement
It seems like sometimes the manufacturer recommends not having a diode since that is a big source of problems due to consumers installing the diode backwards.
You should always have a flyback diode on Solenoids activated by an electronic device for insurance. I just noticed the installation instructions for the Navitas TAC2 AC under flash code 2-4: Check for loose wires. If there is a diodeIt does not say "remove" the diode. https://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/86af4...ew=FitH,%20400 |

Re: Navitas AC conversion diode requirement
Navitas is saying not to install a diode or a resistor on the solenoid.

Re: Navitas AC conversion diode requirement
Interesting statement on flash 2-4 they don’t say large terminals or small terminals for the diode. I seem to remember Sergio saying the diode on the large terminals protected the controller on a DC motor from the resurgence current generated by a DC motor.
