1. Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient installation, operation, and maintenance of the BM24C10-CAN (24V/100A) Travel Controller. This controller is designed for use in various forklift control systems, including those utilizing Lida, Noli, and Hangcha programs. Please read this manual thoroughly before attempting any installation or operation.
2. Safety Information
Always observe standard safety precautions when working with electrical components and heavy machinery. Disconnect power before installation or maintenance. Only qualified personnel should perform installation and servicing. Failure to follow safety guidelines may result in injury or damage to equipment.
3. Setup and Installation
The BM24C10-CAN controller integrates into the forklift's existing electrical system. Proper wiring is crucial for correct functionality and safety.
3.1 Component Identification
Refer to the image below for identification of the controller's terminals and connectors.
3.2 Wiring Connections
The controller features several connection points:
- Power Terminals (M2, M1, B-, B+): These are the main power connections for the motor and battery. Ensure correct polarity and secure fastening.
- Multi-pin Connectors: These white connectors are for signal inputs, outputs, and communication (e.g., CAN bus, throttle, sensors). Consult your forklift's specific wiring diagram for pin assignments.
General Wiring Steps:
- Ensure the forklift's battery is disconnected.
- Mount the BM24C10-CAN controller securely in a location protected from excessive vibration, moisture, and extreme temperatures.
- Connect the battery positive (B+) and negative (B-) terminals to the corresponding posts on the controller.
- Connect the motor terminals (M1, M2) to the corresponding posts on the controller.
- Connect the multi-pin signal harnesses according to the forklift manufacturer's wiring diagram.
- Double-check all connections for tightness and correct routing.
- Reconnect the battery and proceed to initial testing.
4. Operation
Once installed and wired correctly, the BM24C10-CAN controller manages the travel functions of the forklift. Operation is typically controlled via the forklift's existing throttle and directional controls.
- Power On: Turn the forklift's ignition key to the 'ON' position. The controller will perform a self-test.
- Throttle Control: The controller interprets signals from the throttle pedal to regulate motor speed and direction.
- CAN Communication: For models with CAN functionality (BM24C10-CAN), the controller communicates with other vehicle systems (e.g., display, other controllers) via the CAN bus.
For specific operational details, refer to your forklift's main operating manual.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable performance of the controller.
- Cleaning: Keep the controller free from dust, dirt, and moisture. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect all wiring connections for signs of corrosion, wear, or looseness. Ensure the controller's mounting is secure.
- Environmental Conditions: Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified temperature and humidity ranges to prevent damage.
No user-serviceable parts are inside the controller. Do not attempt to open the casing.
6. Troubleshooting
If the forklift exhibits unexpected behavior related to travel control, consider the following common issues:
- No Power/No Response: Check battery connections, main fuses, and the forklift's ignition system. Verify the controller receives adequate voltage.
- Erratic Movement: Inspect throttle sensor connections and calibration. Check for loose or corroded motor wiring.
- Error Codes: If the forklift's display shows error codes, consult the forklift's service manual for their meaning and recommended actions. The CAN-enabled versions may provide more detailed diagnostic information.
If issues persist after basic troubleshooting, contact a qualified service technician.
