1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 The SC2000 range of Controllers use a powerful microprocessor to control two power frames
- Traction (with regen or plug braking) and Pump. Both power frames are integrated within
one compact enclosure and use state-of-the-art mosfet technology.
The SC2000 is available in a wide range of voltage/current variants and power-frame
configurations. As well as the Traction + Pump controllers, the two power-frames within the
unit can also be configured as a Traction Dual Motor non - proportional + Pump controller or
as a Traction + Traction proportional unit. In addition standalone Traction or standalone
Pump units can be offered.
1.2 The controllers have been designed to satisfy the requirements of the relevant UL and EC
standards.
1.3 The controllers have been optimised for use with D.C. series wound motors. For other motor
types contact SEVCON.

4 SAFETY
4.1 Electric vehicles can be dangerous. All testing, fault-finding and adjustment should be carried
out by competent personnel. The drive wheels should be off the floor and free to rotate during
the following procedures. THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER'S MANUAL SHOULD BE
CONSULTED BEFORE ANY OPERATION IS ATTEMPTED.
4.2 The SC2000 controller contains a triple fail-safe system to give a high level of safety. If the
diagnostic LED is not illuminated or flashes, the safety circuit may have tripped and the truck
may not drive.
4.3 To ensure continued safety of the SC2000 system, the fail-safe circuit should be checked
whenever the truck is serviced (See 4.7). The period between checks should not exceed 3
months.
4.4 THE BATTERY MUST BE DISCONNECTED BEFORE REPLACING OR ATTEMPTING ANY
REPAIRS OF THE CONTROLS.
4.5 Before working on the controls disconnect the battery and connect the B+ and B- controller
terminals via a 10 ohm 25 watt resistor to discharge the internal capacitors.
4.6 Never connect the controller to a battery with it's vent caps removed as an arc may occur due
to the controller's internal capacitance when it is first connected.
4.7 FAIL-SAFE CHECK:
4.7.1 Ensure the drive wheels are CLEAR OF THE FLOOR AND FREE TO ROTATE.
4.7.2 Switch on, select seat switch, release brake, select direction and FS1, the wheels
should rotate and the diagnostic LED should give a steady illumination.
4.7.3 Switch off, disconnect battery and connect the F1 and B- terminals together with, at
least, 10mm2 cable. Ensure that no other fault that would allow drive is present.
4.7.4 Reconnect battery, switch on key with direction in neutral. The LED should stay off.
Select a direction and check that the direction contactors do not close and the wheels
do not rotate.
4.7.5 Switch off at key and remove the F1/B- connection. Switch on at key, reselect the
power-up sequence and check that the LED illuminates and the truck wheels rotate.
IF THE TRUCK DRIVES IN 4.7.4 THE CONTROLLER IS FAULTY AND MUST BE
REPLACED.
4.8 NOTES:
4.8.1 As blow-out magnets are fitted to contactors (except 24V) ensure that no magnetic
particles can accumulate in the contact gaps and cause malfunction. Ensure that
contactors are wired with the correct polarity to their power terminals as indicated by
the + sign on the top moulding.
4.8.2 The SC2000 controller must NOT be used with permanently-connected on-board
chargers or damage to the system may result.

5.3.6 Switch/Digital Inputs: Connector 1 (24 way) Pins:-
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 & 20
Operation: Active-low (The input becomes active when connected
to battery negative, otherwise inactive).

High (Open) +4.5 to +150 V
(or open-circuit).

5.3.8 Analogue Inputs: Connector A (24 way) pins:- 9, 10, 21 & 22

22nd October 2004 SC2000 Manual – 177/52301 Rev G Page 9
Three of the above inputs, pins 9, 10 & 21 have supply
outputs associated with them, pins 11, 12 & 23
respectively. Various connection options are available.
Voltage Range: 0V - 5.0V
Using the calibrator, the minimum and maximum
levels can be defined to equal any two voltages in the
above range.
Option 1: Potentiometers wired as ‘2 wire’ systems between the
input pins and B-ve. The wiper will be connected to
either the input or B-ve. Leave the associated supply pin
unconnected. This option available on all 4 analogue
inputs.
Nominal potentiometer resistance range: 1k to 10k.
Option 2: Potentiometers wired as ‘3 wire’ systems will be
connected between B-ve and the associated supply pin,
with the wiper connecting to the input pin.
This option only available on input pins 9, 10 & 21.
Nominal potentiometer resistance range: 2K to 20K.
Option 3: Voltage source type inputs, such as solid state
accelerator units that derive there own supply, should
feed directly into the analogue input pin. Connecting the
associated supply pin to B-ve disables an internal pull
up resistor and presents the analogue pin as a high
impedance input.
This option only available on input pins 9, 10 & 21
Nominal voltage input range: 0 to 5.0V
Absolute Max. Voltages: -1 V to +150 V.
An example of each connection option is shown in the light wiring diagram (figure 1)
5.3.9 Supply output: Connector A (24 way) pin 24
An unregulated +12V power supply is available for
supplying speed sensors etc. Contact SEVCON for
details before using this pin.
5.3.10 Contactor Drives: Connector B (12 way) pins:- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8
Maximum Current: 2A.
Protection: Drives are protected against direct connection to
B+ and B-.
Suppression: Coil suppression built-in.
+ve coil supply: Connector B (12 way) pin 11
All the contactor coils must be supplied from this pin
and NOT from the keyswitch or B+ directly.
There are a maximum of 8 contactor drives available.
