You can send it to me, unless @Inwo has the extra time or want to check anything else.
I will PM you the address:

I just thought of it too. Using the original contactor will need to be set to 48v.
I happen to have an extra orange 72v 400amp contactor sitting around. Just throwing it out thereā¦ Better to change the contactor or the settings on the controller?
Better for us to change and keep the programs standard.
Easier for you to not change it.
I plan to use the 48v in mine. Itās a simple line of programming.
Jumping on this, i was quietly following it. Iām back to my home and almost ready to start.
I was planing to use a new contractor for my 25s battery but I just saw here that the sevcon can be programmed to use the 48v one? Maybe I got it wrong
Yes, but it needs to be programmed to correct voltage. Nice thing is that it has two settings.
Pull-in and hold. A dc coil will hold in at half voltage so setting it at say, 3/4 will keep coil cool.
Sevcon will not work with special economizer coils, as itās built in.
Either of us can change it. Or anyone with a programmer.
Is this a high voltage conversion of a new Gem?
Are you aware of the rewiring needed? I donāt know where we left off.
We have not been using the Gem vcm or can. The throttle and direction signals need to be hard wired to the new sevcon.
I donāt want to use Earnieās post to go deep into my build but yes, Iāll convert my 2016 to a high voltage, Iāve got the Sevcon and motor from you guys. You also sent me a board to plug and play but it will be for old gems. Wondering if you have something similar for 2016+ā¦ Also got a quiet transmission from Rodney that Iām planing to test too. (Like the one @MikeKC has right now)
Iāve bought a hv solenoid.
I didnāt get to the of the wiring yet. I remember you told me the Throttle was going to be hard wired and not sure what else. I was planing to ask you when I reach that part.
