1 INTRODUCTION TO THE ZAPIMOS FAMILY The ZAPIMOS chopper family is ZAPI’s answer to the needs of users of the ’90s. To ensure that the product stays on the market without running the risk of becoming technologically obsolete, ZAPI has designed the ZAPIMOS family to offer the following...
2.2 CONTROL UNIT 2.2a Microswitches Microswitches send a voltage signal when the request for startup or desired function is made. Microswitches for forward, backward, and rapid inversion (if present) are dimen- sioned for carrying the current of one contactor (3 amp). 2.2b Potentiometer In the 3-wire configuration, the CPOT (C1) useful input signal goes from 0V to 10V.

fig. 8a fig. 8b The two graphs show the output voltage from an uncalibrated potentiometer with re- spect to the mechanical “zero” of the knob of one handle (MI and MA indicate the point at which the speed microswitches close, 0 is the mechanical zero of the handle rota- tion).
2.3 PROTECTION FEATURES Battery inversions: It is necessary to respect the connections indicated in the diagrams in order to avoid damage to the power unit. In the lifting versions, a general contactor may be connected which is handled by the logic against any polarity inversions. The logic is intrinsically protected against polarity inversions.
2.4 PERFORMANCE FEATURES - Optimum sensitivity to low speeds. - Self-diagnosis with indication of the type of anomaly by an optional LED. - Configurable from the console (traction or lifting). - Modification of parameters from the console. - Internal hour-meter with values that can be displayed on the console. - Memorisation of the last 5 alarms tripped, with relative hour-meter value and tem- perature that can be displayed on the console.
Take particular care of the length, of the electrical connections and of the braided wires. Therefore ZAPI declines any responsibility for badrunnings that can be attributed to the above mentioned circumstances, above all if the manufacturer of the machine...

2.8 GENERAL CONTACTORS AND SAFETY SWITCH FOR REGENERATIVE MODEL - The connection of eventual interruption systems of the battery must be executed scrupulously respecting one of the following wirings. - With safety switch - With switch and general contactor - These circuital solutions are necessary to avoid the chopper fail when the connection to the battery is opened during the phase of regenerative braking.
3 INSTALLATION Install the chopper with the base-plate on a flat metallic surface that is clean and unpainted. Apply a light layer of thermo-conductive grease between the two surfaces to permit better heat dissipation. Despite the protection provided against external agents, the continuous attack of corro- sive substances may cause the connector contacts to oxidise, thus jeopardising good functioning.

PARAMETER MODIFICATIONS Modification of the parameters, in addition to the configuration of the inputs, is made directly by ZAPI on customer specifications, or the customer may make adjustments himself using the programming console or the mini-console, (with the later only certain parameters can be modified).

4.3 CHOPPER CONFIGURATION AND CONNECTIONS DESCRIPTION The choices made regarding power connections must be communicated to the chop- per. In order to supply this information, you have to connect the chopper to the program- ming console and access the set model, set options, and set battery menus (see spe- cific configuration descriptions).

It is used for the control of the state of the bat- tery charge level of the instrument "ZILB 93". B7 SPEED SIGNAL* Input for the speed signal caming from a trasducer speed / voltage.

5.3 TABLE OF MODIFICATIONS SEQUENCE OF SETTINGS FOR REGENERATIVE / STANDARD TRACTION - With the machine switched off, connect the programming console and then switch on. If no wiring errors or component defects are found, the display shows the manu- facturer’s name, programme release, configuration, and hour-metre value.
5.4 H2B TRACTION DIAGNOSIS Description of the alarms signalled by the diagnostic LED. The alarm code is shown in parentheses. A detailed description is given in the section “DECODING THE ALARMS DISPLAYED ON CONSOLE” on point 5.5. 1 BLINK = Logic anomaly (EEPROM DATA KO, EEPROM PAR.
5.5 DECODING CONSOLE DISPLAYED ALARMS 1) BRAKE CON CLOSED (only regenerative version) Test carried out in the passage from running to initial regenerative braking. If, on running contactor closure, the VMN is > 2/3 VBATT, an alarm is issued. Possible causes: a) The normally open contact of the braking contactor is stuck.
Page 45
It could be necessary changing both contactors. A2) There is not a good contact either on TI NA or on TA NC, due to dust, dirt or any particles which prevent a valid contact. Clean contacts by means of compressed air; if necessary remove dirt apply- ing a soft abrasive movement.
Page 46
B1) Forward contactor (TA) is supplied with a correct voltage but it doesn’t close. Possible causes: Contactor coil is interrupted, verify its resistance using an ohmmeter. Contact can’t move due to mechanic block. Nominal working coil voltage is greater than battery one. B2) Backward contactor (TI) is supplied with a correct voltage but it doesn’t close;...

5) VMN LOW The test is carried out at standby and in running up to 80% of PWM. If the VMN voltage is lower than 1/3 of the battery voltage, an alarm is shown. For finding out the causes follows the diagnosis procedure herefollowing: CONDITIONS UNDER FAULT WHICH FAULTS IS...

D2) There is a current dispersion in the motor between the stator winding and the armature one otherwise there are some electric parts of these windings that makes a contact inside the motor. D3) Check that there are not metallic parts inside the contactor board that cause a short towards the negative in the points connected to SH- and SH+.

10) INCORRECT START An incorrect starting sequence. The machine only starts if the sequence is followed: key-handle (or seat) - running. Possible causes: a) Running microswitch or handle microswitch stuck. b) Error in sequence made by the operator, pedal pressed at the key on. c) Incorrect wiring if there is not any defects externally is necessary to replace the logic..

16) EEPROM CONF.KO Fault in the area of memory in which the special chopper configuration data is stored. If the defect persists when the key is switched off and on again, replace the logic. Otherwise, keep in mind that the chopper configuration has been reset to the default values (regeneration version, etc.);...

8) HYD SPEED FINE = Fine hydrodrive speed (a value from 0 to 10% Vbatt is added to the coarse speed value). The speed is given by: motor voltage = [(coarse speed) x 10 + (fine speed)] x Vbatt /100 The interval of values ranges from 0 to total conduction.

6.3 SEQUENCE OF SETTINGS FOR LIFTING - With the machine switched off, connect the programming console and then switch on. If no wiring errors or component defects are found, the display shows the manu- facturer’s name, programme release, configuration, and hour-metre value. If the module has already been configured, the procedure passes directly to step four.

4) BATTERY The battery charge is low. The alarm is signalled only if the BATTERY CHECK option has been selected. All functions except hydrodrive are inhibited. 5 ) INCORRECT START A running request is present on key startup. Possible causes: a) Operator error.

12) CHOP. NO CONF. An alarm similar to no.9, except that here, even though the data is correct, it does not correspond to a hardware configuration recognised by the H2B. The considera- tions are the same as for alarm 9 “EEPROM CONF.KO”. 13) WATCHDOG The test is made in both running and standby.

Any cause which is visible or realizable by an ordinary technician who periodically checks the equipment, that can create damages or defects to the device should be transmitted to the ZAPI's technician or to the technical commercial net. They will take the responsibility for possible decisions regarding the functioning safety of the electric vehicle.
