Thank you for your purchase of a ZEVA MC1000C motor controller. The MC1000C was designed
to be one of the best value, most reliable and easiest to use motor controllers available for electric
vehicles. It utilises the latest in power semiconductors to make it one of the most efficient motor
controllers available - over 99% at all times. Featuring dual microprocessors for redundant safety,
an advanced throttle algorithm for the smoothest driving experience, silent operation at all times,
a compact weather-resistant air-cooled housing, and industry-standard CAN bus connectivity for
monitoring operation, programming settings, and even optional throttle control over CAN bus.
We hope it provides you years of reliable service.
safeTy WarnIng
Electric vehicle motor controllers are high powered devices which involve potentially lethal
voltages and currents. Proper precautions and electrical safety procedures should always be
observed, voltages above 110VDC should be considered dangerous, and vehicles should never
be worked on while contactor(s) are engaged. Please read this manual carefully before using
the controller to ensure correct installation and operation. If you are unsure of anything, please
contact us before proceeding.
We have endeavoured to make a safe and reliable product which performs as described, however
since ZEVA has no control over the integration of its products into a vehicle, we can assume no
responsibility for the safety or functionality of the completed vehicle. It is up to the end user to
determine the suitability of the products for the purpose employed, and the end user assumes all
risks associated. Products should only be installed by suitably qualified and experienced persons,
and should always be used in a safe and lawful manner.
TeCh supporT and WarranTy InforMaTIon
The MC1000C motor controller is covered by a 12 month warranty against manufacturing faults
or failures under normal operating conditions. The warranty does not cover misuse of the product,
including but not limited to: Excessive voltage or reversed polarity on input terminals, short
circuits on output terminals, excessive voltages applied to control wiring, opening of housing and/
or modification of internals, severe impact damage (e.g due to vehicle crashes), submersion in
water.
We have taken great care to design a safe and reliable product, but faults can happen. If you
believe your motor controller has a fault, please contact us via our website to discuss. If it is
determined that a hardware fault is the likely cause, we will provide an RMA number and return
address to proceed with repairs.
If you have any questions not covered by this manual, please contact us via our website:
