  • Page 3: Main Features

    The main contactor (relay) is internal. The 4Q controller can be configured in two different ways: - Pallet truck (Model 1) - Floor washer (Model 2) The parameters, tester and options may vary according to the model chosen with ZAPI console. Page 3...
  • Page 4: Control Units

    1.2 CONTROL UNITS 1.2.a Microswitches - A contact resistance of less than 0.1Ω and a current leakage of less than 100µA is required. - The key contact must be able to take all the current of the loads without causing a voltage drop of more than 01.V between contacts.
  • Page 5: Safety Features

    All the inputs are protected against wrong connection. - Thermal protection: If the temperature of the 4Q exceeds 75°C, the maximum current is automatically reduced in proportion to the temperature increase. The temperature cannot exceed 90°C, at this temperature the maximum current is zeroed. If the temperature drops to below –10°C, the maximum current is reduced by 20%.
  • Page 6: Operating Functions

    1.4 OPERATING FUNCTIONS - Speed control. - Excellent sensitivity at low speeds. - Maximum speed reduction: the maximum speed in both directions can be adjusted using the programming console. - Regenerative braking based on deceleration ramps, release braking, inversion braking. - Speed control in descent: the motor speed is controlled by the accelerator pedal and regenerative braking is activated automatically if the motor speed exceeds the required speed;...
  • Page 7: Thermal Considerations

    1.7 GENERAL WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS - Do not connect the 4Q module to a battery with a different rated voltage to the one indicated on the module’s rating plate. A higher battery voltage can cause irreparable damage the MOSFETs. With a lower battery voltage the module will not work.
  • Page 8: Installation

    2 INSTALLATION If possible, assemble the chopper with its base on a flat metal surface that has not been painted or cleaned. It is advisable to spread a layer of thermo-conductive grease between the two surfaces to improve the transmission of heat. Although the chopper is protected against external agents, the connector contacts may become oxidised due to the presence of corrosive substances.

    3 CONSOLE MENU 3.1 PROGRAMMING WITH THE CONSOLE The Zapi console can be used to program various 4Q chopper functions. It is therefore possible to adapt the truck performance to suit the client’s requirements. The console can be left connected to the controller when it is in use and the parameters can be modified in real time.
