alltrax SR DIY personality switch?
Does anyone know if the alltrax personality switch for the alltrax SR series is just a potentiometer?
I am looking to put a built in DIY solution into my new dash and since its just a 2 wire hookup I assume its some sort of pot setup? just wondering if anyone can confirm with a multi-meter or documentation that might steer me in the right direction. It looks as if I can create and have the choice of two user modes with just a simple switch? |

Re: alltrax SR DIY personality switch?
It is not a pot. It is a + power switch that tells the controller to toggle between 2 user set modes. These modes can have different speed limits, thottle rates, reverse speeds, amperage limits etc. Hope this helps

It's a great option for those who have teenagers that want to "hop on and take a ride".

Re: alltrax SR DIY personality switch?
Ok just seemed strange that it looks like a knob with multiple settings or is this thing something else entirely? https://www.ebay.com/itm/27309883438...Bk9SR-jeoryyYQ
So my goal is to create 3 modes if possible one normal, one for torque and one for speed. I can deal with 2 modes if thats all a regular switch will give me. Guess I should read through the documentation again. |

The SR Series control is capable of 2 modes via any user supplied toggle switch as described above.
The XCT sepex control is compatible with a FN-Key device which allows the user to pre-set 3 driving modes. And my favorite FN2 = speed and regen brake in-dash dial controls |

Re: alltrax SR DIY personality switch?
What controller are you asking about?
The FN1 you linked to on eBay is a potentiometer type speed dial ... not a mode switch. You can have that or the user supplied toggle to switch between 2 modes but not both. Also more modern in-dash models are available of all FN devices vs the stick on fall off model you linked to to |

I have a drawer full of potentiometers for a cleaner in dash install and id rather not pay $100 for something I already have which is why I asked because its not all that clear to me in the operators manual. I believe im better off with the switch though I have an sr72500 on series yamaha cart im converting to 48v lifepo4 and a solar roof |
