1 INTRODUCTION TO THE ZAPIMOS FAMILY


The ZAPIMOS chopper family is ZAPIs 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
features:
- Advanced technology and economical costs
- Maximum safety
- Maximum flexibility
- Open to future technological innovations
- Optimum level of protection.
This implies:
- High frequency Mos technology
- Real-time control over the internal and external parts that can influence the behaviour of the machine, with self-diagnosis of the checking circuits themselves.
- Stored programme machine (SPC) where the hardware is completely separate from
the functions to be configured. The programme is parametric and can also be modified by the final user.
- Various chopper functional configurations can be selected by the user, without the
need for hardware modifications.
- Any future technological updates are made clear to the user.
The communication protocol will continue to evolve, thus offering increasing possibilities of interaction.
For this reason, the ZAPIMOS family offers a standard dialogue mode with external
systems, for easy interfacing with commercially available machines. ZAPI offers a
range of programming consoles with various features and prices.
- Logic and power units are fitted in a sealed container (IP54), to guarantee protection
against splashes (water, acid, etc.) and dust, chips, or small particles.
Access to the logic for replacement or checks, however, is very easy.
- The H2B chopper is the top-of-the-line model of the Zapimos family. It is suitable for
operating at voltages from 24 to 96 V with maximum currents of 400 or 600 amp.
Suitable for use with series motors with powers from 2000 W to 15 kW.

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 dimensioned 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.
The resistive value of the potentiometer must be between 500 ohm and 10 kohm, as
lower values overload the power supply.

2-wire potentiometer (please request while ordering):


It is possible to use the potentiometer in the 2-wire configuration but you should state its
ohmic value since a resistor on the logic boars must be installed accordingly.
Correspondence between the voltage signal to pin C1 and motor voltage.

The procedure for automatic potentiometer signal acquisition is carried out from the
console. This makes it possible to adjust the minimum and maximum useful signal in
the respective directions.
This function is indispensable when it is necessary to compensate for asymmetry in the
mechanical workings that control the potentiometer, especially as regards the adjustment of the minimum which in certain cases, if made in the traditional way, requires a
calibration that is laborious and costly, but very often gives unsatisfactory results.
The sequence of procedures is described in the programming console manual.

Page 6

H2B general description

fig. 8a
fig. 8b
The two graphs show the output voltage from an uncalibrated potentiometer with respect 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 rotation). The first graph (Fig. 8a) shows the correspondence of the motor voltage without
having made the acquisition, while the second graph (Fig. 8b) shows the same correspondence after signal acquisition by the potentiometer. The acquisition procedure is
invalidated by the machine if the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value is less than 2V.
This acquisition procedure makes it possible:
- to use reversed potentiometric signals, i.e. those which are carried from a high
initial value to a low final value.
- to use a normal potentiometer instead of one with central zero.
For the correct functioning of signal acquisition, it is absolutely necessary that the running microswitches be activated by the same shaft that moves the potentiometer.
Application examples.
- Signal overturn.

VACC = accelerator signal voltage to pin C1.


VMOT = percentage of batt. voltage on the motor.
- Central zero signal.

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.

Connection errors:
All the inputs are protected against connection errors.
The contactors do not accept loads greater than 3 amp, and are in any case protected against overloads and short circuits.

Thermal protection:
If the temperature exceeds 80C, the maximum current is reduced in proportion to
the thermal increase. The temperature may never exceed 85C.

Low battery charge:


When the battery charge is low, the maximum current is reduced by 50%, and in the
lifting version all functions except hydrodrive (and descent) are blocked.
This feature may be excluded by the console.

External agents:
The chopper body is completely sealed, and thus is protected against splashes of
liquid (IP54).

Protection against accidental start-up:


A precise sequence of operations is necessary for starting the machine.
If these operations are not carried out correctly, the machine will not start.
The request for running must be activated after the key and handle microswitch (or
seat microswitch).

Protection against uncontrolled movements:


The contactors do not close if:
- the power unit is not functioning
- the accelerator does not go below the minimum value stored increased by 2 V
- the logic is not perfectly functional
- one running microswitch is stuck.

H2B general description

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 temperature that can be displayed on the console.
- Console tester for real time checking of the main parameters such as inputs, motor
voltage, battery, etc.
- Absence of arc on the contactors
- Internal arc suppressor of the contactors coils.
- High motor and battery efficiency thanks to high frequency commutation.
2.5 H2B CHOPPER DIAGNOSIS
The microprocessor carries out diagnostic procedures on the main chopper functions,
involving 4 basic points.
1) Diagnosis on key start-up which includes: watchdog test, current sensor test, VMN
test, contactor pilot test, test for running request present, high accelerator test.
2) Standby diagnosis which includes: watchdog test, VMN test, contactor pilot test,
current sensor test.
3) Diagnosis while running which includes: watchdog test, VMN test, current test,
contactor test, VMN test in complete conduction, contactor opening-closing test.
4) Continuous diagnosis: temperature check, battery charge check.
The diagnostic message is indicated by a certain number of blinks of the LED connected to connector A.
The current alarm message code can be displayed on the programming console.
A description of the alarm codes, possible causes and solutions is given for each configuration in the following sections.
2.6 THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
- The heat generated by the control unit must be dissipated. For this to be possible,
the compartment must be ventilated and the cooling surfaces ample.
- The cooling system is dimensioned on the basis of the performance required of the
machine.
For situations in which ventilation is poor and heat exchange difficult because of the
materials used, we suggest to use forced air ventilation.
- The power dissipated by the module varies depending on the current and the work
cycle.

H2B general description

Page 9

2.7 GENERAL NOTES AND PRECAUTIONS


- Never combine SCR low frequency choppers with H2B modules, as the filter condensers contained in the H2B module alter SCR chopper functioning, subjecting it to
excessive workloads.
Thus, if you wish to use two or more control units (e.g. lift + traction), they must all be
of the high frequency ZAPIMOS family.
- Do not connect the chopper to a battery with a different nominal voltage than that
indicated on the chopper identification plate. A higher battery voltage can cause
MOS failure. A lower battery voltage prevents the module from functioning.
- During battery recharge, the H2B module must be completely disconnected from the
battery, as, in addition to altering the charge read by the battery charger, the module
can be damaged by the overload voltages generated by the charger.
- The H2B module must only be supplied using a traction use battery; do not use
outputs of converters or power suppliers. For special applications, please consult the
nearest ZAPI service centre.
- Start the machine the first time with the wheels raised, to ensure that connection
errors do not create safety risks.
- With the key off, the filter condensers inside the module may remain charged for
several minutes.
For safe operation, we recommend that you disconnect the battery and short circuit
the power positive and negative on the chopper for a few seconds with a resistance
of between 10 ohm and 100 ohm.
- The susceptibility and the electromagnetic emission are remarkably influenced by the
installation conditions. 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
doesn't carry out the tests required by the regulations in force (conducted emissions,
irradiated emissions, IEC 801 - 2 (ESD), IEC 801 - 3 (irradiated susceptibility), IEC
801 - 4 (burst), IEC 801 - 5 (surge), IEC - 6 (conducted immunity)).

H2B general description

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.
The chopper intrinsic protection is active when the voltage on the pin D1 exceeds by
30% the battery normal voltage or when the key is excluded before the opening of
the battery connection.

H2B general description

Page 11

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 corrosive substances may cause the connector contacts to oxidise, thus jeopardising good
functioning. Keep this in mind when choosing the installation position on the vehicle.
Use the special holes on the base-plate for fastening the chopper.
Make sure that the wiring of the cable terminals and connectors is carried out correctly.
Fit anti-jamming filters on the horn, solenoid valves, and contactors not connected to
the chopper such as those for activating the pump motor or hydrodrive motor, if the
latter is not handled by the chopper itself.
3.1 CONNECTION CABLES
For the auxiliary circuits, use cables of 0.5mm section.
For power connections to the motor and to the battery, use cables having sections of
35 - 50mm.
For the best chopper performance, the cables to the battery should be run side by side
and be as short as possible.
3.2 CONTACTORS
Choose the type of contactors on the basis of the maximum operating current of the
motor and the specific chopper configuration.
- The current absorbed by the coil must not be greater than 3 amp.
- The coil suppressors are inside the chopper; do not use contactors with arc suppressors.
- For contactors with magnetic suppressors, make sure you respect the polarity indicated on the cap.
3.3 FUSES
- Use a 10 amp fuse for auxiliary circuit protection.
- For protecting the power unit, see the diagrams.
The value shown is the maximum allowable. For special applications or requirements
this value can be reduced.
For safety reasons, we recommend that you use protected fuses in order to prevent
the spread of fused particles in the event of blowout.

4 . 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). The console can remain connected to the chopper when
running and the parameters can also be varied in real time during operation.
To confirm data, press ENTER when requested by the message on the console.
The parameters thus modified and optimised on one unit can be stored from the console (SAVE) and then reloaded (RESTORED) on another chopper, thus allowing fast
and standardised calibration (see console manual for details).
Pay special attention to the polarity of the console connector when it is hooked up to the
chopper.
HOOKING UP MUST ONLY BE DONE WITH THE MACHINE OFF.

- Connect the mini-console to connector (B) on the chopper.
(the hook-up MUST BE MADE WITH THE KEY OFF).
- Supply the machine by activating the key.
- Position the dial selector on the function to be modified.
The SET-UP button increases the value of the parameter, while SET-DOWN decreases it.
Note: the variations are made through a count of the number of impulses sent from
the buttons; thus for increasing or decreasing more than one point, you need to
release and then repress the button.
Keeping the button pressed continuously does not provide continuous variation of
the parameters.
- The parameters are modified in real time, making it possible to check the values set
immediately.
The modified parameters are automatically stored by the control logic without the
need for confirmation before switching off or disconnecting the console.
Important note: the console does not function if connected when the motor is running.
Switch the machine off and on again for activating the console
functions.

- AUXILIARY FUNCTION: It allows the aux output of the connector G7 to be active


under certain conditions. We can set it in the following way:
1)

CURRENT GAIN:

It is the logic board standard way of working. The output


AUX G7 is not used. (Jumper setting: 1-3; 2-4)

2) HYDRO CONTACTOR:

The output AUX G7 commands the hydrodrive contactor.


It should be active during both forward and backward
directions and during release braking. The turning OFF
delay is programmable at "AUXILIARY TIME".
(Jumper setting: 1-2; 3-4)

3) BIMOT. CONTACTOR:

AUX G7 output is activated when turning from off status to


running status and at the beginning of regenerative braking, and it is switched off when PWM is greater than 20%,
both statuses.

NOTE: It is necessary to adjust the jumper configuration on the chopper electronic


board depending upon previous program set. Mismatchings cause the power
section of the chopper to be damaged as well as mis functioning.
- For each setting we should set the jumpers (J 1, 2, 3, 4) configuration on the logic
board.

5.1.1 Input connector description


E1 RV3 / QUICK I

Input for 3rd speed reduction request. The request is


active when the pin is disconnected. To disconnect link
to +CH or adjust to level 9 the corresponding speed.
This pin can be programmed as input for rapid inversion
signal, the safety is active when pin is opened.

E2 RV2 / BACKING

Input for 2nd speed reduction request. The request is


active when the pin is opened (low level) and disconnected if the pin is positive (high level) or the speed is
programmed to level 9.
If it is programmed as back request (backing), when
the pin is taken to a low level combined with a running
request, the running is activated with setted speed
through the parameter "CUTBACK 2" according to the
values defined at the point "BACKING SPEED" of the
adjustment chart and for a time with the parameter
"BACKING TIME". When this function is required it isn't
necessary to active the pin E4 (SEAT MICROSWITCH)

E3 RV1

Input for 1st speed reduction request which is active


when pin is opened.
The activation of this reduction is combined with an
intensity braking and programmable length (curve
braking)
It is possible to eliminate the braking in curve programming curve time as 0.

E4 MSED / HANDLE

B4 STATE REC.

During the energy recovery phase the output is activated (that's to say that the output is taken to a low
level). It is used for the control of the state of the battery charge level of the instrument "ZILB 93".

B7 SPEED SIGNAL*

Input for the speed signal caming from a trasducer


speed / voltage. The range admitted by the signal is
from 0V to 5V.

B8 SPEED REF*

Input for the reference speed signal.


On this pin it is fixed the voltage corresponding to the
relative speed which must not be exceeded on the pin
B7, range admitted from 0V to 5V.

bypass

The contactor connected to connector G3 is handled as


a bypass, with activation current = 80%Imax., output
current = 90%Imax., activation delay=800 msec.

weak

The contactor connected to connector G3 is handled as


weakening, with activation current = 50% of the programmable output current (WEAK DROP OUT) from
10% to 100% Imax. Activation delay=800 msec.

free

Speed check not active. The mini-console can be used


with this option.

check

Speed check active. At input B8, a reference potential


between 1 and 5 V is applied, at B7 an analogue
signal proportional to the speed is applied. When the
signal on connector B7 exceeds that of reference on
B8, the machine begins to reduce the motor voltage or
brakes if the difference persists. This braking state
remains until the signal on B7 becomes less than that
of B8. Sampling is made once every 60 msec.
Note: when the speed check option is active, the miniconsole cannot be used.

cut b.#3

Associates the function of no.3 speed reduction request


to the E1 connector.

quick I

Associates at the connector E1 with the following characteristics: plugging with 1.2 x Imax, restart in forward
direction with 0.5 x Imax and slower acceleration (to
avoid wheel slippering). Also the truck will stop if the
safety button is released and a forward or reverse
request is present.
The QUICK I function is active if the request of motion
in the direction opposite to the forks is present and if
the safety button pushes on the operator.
Associates the function for rapid inversion to connector
E1.

seat

The input of running enable by the seat microswitch is


associated to connector E4: the seat microswitch running microswitch temporal sequence is requested.
Delay of 2 seconds on deactivation.

handle

Like the seat option but without delay.

cut b.#2

Associates the speed reduction no.2 to the pin E2.

backing

Associates the pin E2 to the backward request. It enables to execute a timed movement with no seat microswitch. The backing request and a forward/backward
request should be simultaneous. Under these conditions the acceleration pedal has no effect. Also the
system has a fixed speed that is defined and the
"BACKING SPEED" chart, programmable through the
CUT BACK SP.2 parameter for a time programmable
with the BACKING TIME parameter.

Normal

Every braking current is handled at normal values as


showed on the adjustments chart.

Soft

Every braking current is reduced by 25% when the soft


way is selected it is necessary that the jumpers in the
card are configured 1-3 and 2-4, and that the maximum
current level (IMax) is programmed to a value not
inferior to Six.

5.1.3 Parameter modification (PROGRAM MENU)


The parameters can be modified with the chopper in standby or running.
In the latter case, you must return to standby before switching off the chopper so that
the modifications are stored in the nonvolatile memory.
Regenerative traction parameters.
1) ACCELER DELAY = acceleration time, i.e. the minimum time during which the
motor voltage varies from 0V to the maximum.
2) INVERS BRAKING = basic braking current in direction inversion. A value is added
to this value based on the accelerator plus a fixed increment every second.
3) RELEASE BRAKING = release braking current (should have the lowest value).
4) PEDAL BRAKING = release braking current with brake pedal pressed.
5) CUTBACK SP.1 = reduction of speed no.1 (relative to input E3). A braking is also
associated (curve braking); the accelerator is reduced.
6) CUTBACK SP.2 = reduction of speed no.2 associated to input E2.
If the pin E2 input option is configured in the backing way , this parameter defines
the backing speed whose adjustment values are defined at the point "BACKING
SPEED" of the adjustment chart.
7) CUTBACK SP.3 = reduction of speed no.3 associated to input E1.
8) AUXILIARY TIME = Auxiliary contactor activating time connected to the G7 output
(request option or hardware modifications are necessary, see p.18)
9) COMPENSATION = compensation of the speed (motor voltage) on the basis of the
current when the speed reductions are active.
10) BRAKING MODULATION = defines the maximum current in inversion braking with
the acelerator pedal pressed. When the accelerator is pressed all the way down in
inversion, braking becomes more brusque the higher the value of the parameter.
11) IMAX = defines the maximum current of the chopper both when running and in
braking. All the current adjustments are expressed as a percentage of this value.
The adjustment interval is from 50% (level 0) to 100% (level 9).
12) MAX SPEED FORW = Max speed wit forward direction on. This speed reduction
goes under adjustable compensation with the COMPENSATION parameter.
13) MAX SPEED BACK = Max speed wit backward direction on. This speed reduction
goes under adjustable compensation with the COMPENSATION parameter.
14) CREEP SPEED = defines the minimum voltage applied to the motor with the running request activated. Provides a more immediate response in starting off.
15) WEAK DROPOUT = threshold of current for opening the weakening contactor (if
programmed as such and not as bypass, in which case the output threshold is fixed
and not programmable).
16) CURVE BRAKING = current for curve braking, activated with RV1 request, if the
PWM is greater than 80% and the motor current less than 40%Imax.
17) CURVE TIME = curve braking time associated to RV1. If 0, braking is not carried
out.
18) BACKING TIME = backing request activating time delay. If programmed at level 9
there is no time delay and the on status is present if a request is present.

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 manufacturers name, programme release, configuration, and hour-metre value.
If the module has already been configured, the procedure passes directly to step
four. Otherwise, proceed in order as follows.
Consult the console manual for further procedure details.
1) Configure the chopper model.
2) Select the desired options.
3) Select and set battery voltage.
4) Check the functioning of all the wired inputs, including the potentiometer, by means
of the tester functions on the console.
5) Carry out accelerator signal acquisition on the PROGRAM VACC menu.
6) Set the maximum current by selecting the level corresponding to the desired value
shown on the table of modifications (point 5.1.4 and 5.2.4).
7) Set accleration by moving the machine forward and backward.
8) Set the CREEP speed starting from level 0. With the machine stopped, press the
pedal lightly in order to trip the running microswitch, leaving the potentiometer at the
minimum value, and then raise the level of the CREEP until the machine begins to
move.
9) To set the speed reductions, activate the desired reduction request microswitch,
take the compensation level to 0, set the speed (CUTBACK SP.l, etc.) with machine
in standby on a flat surface and the acclerator pedal pressed all the way down.
Then, apply a load on the machine or put it on a slope, and in these conditions set
the compensation level until you reach the desired speed.
10) RELEASE BRAKING is set by running the machine and then completely releasing
the accelerator pedal without pressing other pedals.
11) For INVERSION BRAKING, first set the MODUL BRAKING level at 0, run the machine and invert the direction with the pedal pressed down, then regulate the braking level.
12) MODUL BRAKING with accelerator. A parameter that increments the inversion
braking according to the level of the accelerator signal; set it by inverting the direction with the pedal pressed all the way down.
13) Release braking with brake pressed (PEDAL BRAKING). Set by pressing the brake
pedal lightly during a release.

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. Unlock the contact
and clean it; if it is too much damaged replace the contactor.
b) The braking contactor remains excited for a defect in the logic board or because
the NTFR wire is in short towards the negative.
For understanding if the defect is produced by one of these causes, select the
running and press the pedal without giving the seat or tiller request, if the activation only of the braking contactor is in synchrony with the pedal (or selector)
command verify what follows: disconnect the wire from the NTFR connector and
do again the test above, if the contactor remains disactivated replace the logic,
otherwise if the contactor moves check that there is not a wire in short with a
metallic part.
2) DIR. CONT. OPEN
Test carried out at running request: running contactor closure is verified by checking
that the VMN signal is consistent. Possible causes:
a) For finding out the causes follows the diagnosis procedure herefollowing:

A1) There is not a good contact either on TA (=forward contactor) NA (normally


open) or on TI (=backward contactor) NC (normally closed), due to dust, dirt
or any particles which prevent a valid contact.
Clean contacts by means of compressed air; if necessary remove dirt applying a soft abrasive movement.

Page 42

H2B diagnosis traction

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 applying a soft abrasive movement.

It could be neccessary changing both contactors.


A3) The most probably reason is that the normally closed contact of the braking
contactor doesnt make a good contact towards the battery negative for dust,
dirt or because the contact doesnt lean completely for a mechanical defect
of the contactor.

It could be necessary to replace the contactor.


It may be due to 1 of following causes of motor connecting interruption:
a) brushes lift up from collector (fig.1).
b) brushes cable burn up (fig.2).
c)
Missing the braking contactor negative cable (fig. 3)
d) Interruption either on motor winding or on motor itself cabling.

H2B diagnosis traction

Page 43

B1) Forward contactor (TA) is supplied with a correct voltage but it doesnt close.
Possible causes:
1) Contactor coil is interrupted, verify its resistance using an ohmmeter.
2) Contact cant move due to mechanic block.
3) Nominal working coil voltage is greater than battery one.
B2) Backward contactor (TI) is supplied with a correct voltage but it doesnt
close; everything said at point B1 for TA is valid here.
B3) Backward and forward contactor are supplied with a correct voltage but they
dont close; see point B1.
C1) Supply dont come up to TA, please check cabling and connections from TA
coil to connectors PT and NTA.
C2) Supply dont come up to TI, please check cabling and connections from TI
coil to connectors PT and NTI.
C3) Supply dont come up to TA and TI, please check cabling and connections
from the coils to connectors PT, NTA and NTI.
- For points C1, C2, C3 replacing controller may be necessary.
For H2B standard configuration the solutions at point A1-A2-A3-B1-B2-B3-C1C2-C3 are valid; for the last two points please respect the different connections
rather than the regenerative configuration.
3) BRAKE CONT. OPEN (regenerative only)
Test carried out during the passage to running. After closure of the running contact,
the braking contactor closes, verifying that the VMN goes from < 1/3 to > 2/3. If this
does not occur, an alarm is shown.

Test carried out during the passage to standby or braking.
Checks that the running contactor opens by comparing the consistent status of the
VMN potential. Possible causes:
a) Running contactor stuck or slow to open.

B7) If the running contactor remains stuck, you can verify:


1) if the wire going from NTA to NTI is casually in short with a metallic part
connected to the battery negative;
2) disconnecting the contactor wire always excited from board connector if
the contactor is no longer excited, replace the logic board.
B8) A running contactor is stuck on working position, unlock the contact, it could
be possible to replace the contactor.
D1) Wrong connections of the motor cables. The stator and the armature are
crossed.

Page 46

H2B diagnosis traction

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+.
C5) The most probably reason is that the failure is inside the controller, replace it.
E1) If theres the bypass contactor check that it is not stuck or it is too much slow
in opening.
For verifying this possibility, disconnect the bypass and check if the failure
disappears: if this happens, replace the logic.
PAY ATTENTION: the contactors connected to the controller must not have
arc suppressers on the contactor coils because these are inside the controller and then the external ones modify the contactor opening times.
6) VMN HIGH
Test carried out in standby. If the VMN voltage is greater than 2/3 VBATT, an alarm
is shown. Possible causes:
a) Contactor stuck (only standard traction).
b) Short circuit between +BATT and VMN, please check if there are any metallic
parts causing short circuit in the contactor board.
c) Logic failure, probably the braking diode are broken, replace the power.
7) NO FULL COND.
The test is carried out in full conduction. If, in this condition, the VMN is found to be
greater than 1/3 VBATT, the diagnostic circuit is faulty, causing a safety risk, and
thus machine operation is inhibited. If the defect persists, replace the logic.
8) THERMAL PROTECTION
An indication that the controller temperature has exceeded 80 C.
The maximum current is gradually reduced, reaching 0 at a temperature of 85 C.
a) If the alarms occurs while cold, the most probably reason is the failure of the
thermic diagnosis circuit on the power or on the logic board, replace on of the
two parts or replace the complete controller.
b) If the alarm often occurs after short time the machine is working, probably it is
due to inadequate heat sink, check the fixing nuts tightening and the correct
installation.
9) BATTERY
The battery charge is low.
The alarm is signalled only if the battery check option has been selected from the
serial console (default). When this alarm occurs, the maximum current is reduced to
50%.

H2B diagnosis traction

Page 47

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..
11) FORW - BACK
The test is carried out continuously. An alarm is signalled when two requests for
running are made simultaneously. Possible causes:
a) Defective wiring.
b) Running microswitch stuck.
c) Incorrect manoeuvre.
d) If there is not external defects, replace the logic.
12) VACC NOT OK
The test is made in standby.
The alarm indicates that the accelerator voltage is greater than 1V with respect to
the minimum value stored. Possible causes:
a) A potentiometer wire is interrupted or the potentiometer negative has not been
connected to the PIN C2 of the logic board. In this case it is generated an alarm
because the logic dont find the load on the pin C2.
b) The potentiometer is not correctly calibrated.
c) The potentiometer is defective (interrupted).
13) I HIGH AT STAND
Test carried out in standby. Checks that the current is nil.
If this is not verified, an alarm is signalled. This alarm inhibits machine operation.
Possible causes:
a) Current sensor broken and logic failure.
First replace the logic, and if the defect persists, replace the power unit.
14) I=0 EVER
Test carried out in running.
Checks that the current during running is greater than a minimum value. If not,
an alarm is signalled and the machine is shut down. Possible causes:
a) The current sensor is faulty. Replace the power unit.
b) Wrong connections of the motor cables to the power bars SH- and SH+.
15) EEPROM PAR.KO
Fault in the area of memory in which the adjustment parameters are stored. This
alarm inhibits machine operation. If the defect persists when the key is switched off
and on again, replace the logic. If the alarm disappears, remember that the parameters stored previously have been cancelled and replaced by the default values.

Page 48

H2B diagnosis traction

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.); thus it must be reprogrammed.
Consult the console manual.
17) EEPROM DATA KO
The data in the area of memory for the hour-metre is incorrect. This alarm does not
shut down the machine. If the alarm disappears when the key is switched off and on
again, keep in mind that the hour-metre data has been reset to zero.
18) EEPROM OFF LINE
Fault in the nonvolatile memory that contains data relative to the area for the hourmetre, the alarms stored and the programming parameters.
If the alarm persists when the key is switched off and on again, replace the logic.
19) CHOP NO CONF.
An alarm similar to no. 16, except that here, even though the data is correct, it does
not correspond to a hardware configuration recognised by the H2B. The considerations are the same as for alarm 16 EEPROM CONF.KO.
20) WATCHDOG
The test is made in both running and standby.
It is a self-diagnosis test within the logic. If an alarm should occur, replace the logic.
21) SHORTED COIL
An overload or a short circuit toward +BATT on the contactor negative driver outputs. Possible causes:
a) The contactor coils are short circuited or absorb more than 6 A continuous.
b) Short circuit with +BATT of the wiring that comes from the contactor connector.
The alarm indicates the occurrence of an overload, not the breakdown of a chopper
component. Once the external cause is removed, the chopper can be restarted.
22) DRIVER SHORTED
The test is carried out in standby, and checks that the voltage of the drivers that
control the contactors is consistent with the preset value.
Possible causes:
a) Logic failure.
b) Driver breakdown caused by overvoltage in the contactor negative wiring.
Replace the logic after having removed the cause.

6.1.3 Parameter modifications


The parameters can be modified with the chopper in standby or running. In the latter
case, you must return to standby before switching off the chopper so that the modifications are stored in the choppers nonvolatile memory.
1) ACCELER.DELAY = Pump motor acceleration time
2) EV. ACCELER DELAY = Acceleration time relative to descent (proportional solenoid
valve).
3) DECELER DELAY = Deceleration time, i.e. to annul the voltage on the motor upon
release.
4) EV.DECELER DELAY = Deceleration time relative to descent.
5) AUXILIARY TIME = Not used in the pump configuration.
6) IMAX. Defines the maximum chopper current. All current adjustments are expressed as a percentage of this value. The adjustment range is from 50% (level 0)
to 100% (level 9).
7) HYD SPEED COARSE = Coarse hydrodrive speed (from 0 to 100% Vbatt on the
motor).

Page 52

H2B standard lifting

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.
9) HYDRO COMPENS = Compensation in current for hydrodrive request.
10) CREEP SPEED = Defines the minimum value of voltage applied to the motor with
running request active. Allows a more immediate response at start up.
11) WEAK DROPOUT = Threshold of current for opening the weakening contactor (if
programmed as such and not as bypass, in which case the output threshold is fixed
and not programmable).
12) HYDRO TIME = Hydrodrive delay time. If set at 0, there is no delay; thus the
hydrodrive input can be handled as a 5th speed.
13) 1ST SPEED COARSE = Speed no. 1, coarse adjustment.
14) 1ST SPEED FINE = Speed no. 1, fine adjustment.
15) 1ST SPEED COMP. = Compensation speed no.1.
16) 2ND SPEED COARSE = Speed no. 2, coarse adjustment.
17) 2ND SPEED FINE = Speed no. 2, fine adjustment.
18) 2ND SPEED COMP. = Compensation speed no.2.
19) 3RD SPEED COARSE = Speed no. 3, coarse adjustment.
20) 3RD SPEED FINE = Speed no. 3, fine adjustment.
21) 3RD SPEED COMP. = Compensation speed no.3.
22) 4TH SPEED COARSE = Speed no. 4, coarse adjustment.
23) 4TH SPEED FINE = Speed no. 4, fine adjustment.
24) 4TH SPEED COMP. = Compensation speed no.4.
25) MIN. VALVE VOLT. = Minimum voltage applied on the proportional solenoid valve.
26) MAX. VALVE VOLT. = Maximum voltage applied on the proportional solenoid valve.

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 manufacturers name, programme release, configuration, and hour-metre value.
If the module has already been configured, the procedure passes directly to step
four. Otherwise, proceed in order as follows.
Consult the console manual for further procedure details.
1) Configure the chopper model.
2) Select the desired options.
3) Select and set battery voltage.
4) Check the functioning of all the wired inputs, including the potentiometer, by means
of the tester functions on the console.
5) Carry out accelerator signal acquisition on the PROGRAM VACC menu.
6) Set the maximum current by selecting the level corresponding to the desired value.
7) Set the speed of the respective functions with the machine in standby, and the level
of compensation set at 0. Then apply a load and set the compensation until it
reaches the desired speed.
As the adjustments of speed and compensation are interdependent, further adjustments must be made before reaching the optimum condition.
8) Set the hydrodrive speed in the same way as the others, with the only difference
being that the speed is set with the steering in standby, while the compensation is
set with the steering under load.
9) Set acceleration, deceleration, and creep as necessary.
6.4 SETTING THE PROPORTIONAL SOLENOID VALVE
- For handling the solenoid valve, it is necessary to fit the potentiometer and the descent request microswitch.
1) Carry out the potentiometer signal acquisition using the PROGRAM VACC function.
2) With the lever in minimum speed position, set the MIN VALUE VOLT parameter
by incrementing the level until it begins to descend.
3) With the lever in maximum speed position, set the MAX VALUE VOLT parameter
by decreasing the level until you notice that the descent speed begins to reduce.
4) Acceleration and deceleration are set by obtaining the right compromise between
response speed and smoothness of movement.

6.5 H2B LIFTING 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.
1 BLINK = Logic anomaly (EEPROM DATA KO, EEPROM PAR. KO, EEPROM
CONF. KO, EEPROM OFF-LINE, CHOPPER NO CONF, WATCHDOG).
2 BLINKS = Running request on startup or error in handle/speeds sequence (INCORRECT \ START).
3 BLINKS = Error on VMN test (NO FUL CONDUCTION).
4 BLINKS = Accelerator high in standby - this error inhibits machine operation (VACC
> 1 V).
5 BLINKS = Error in reading current - this error inhibits machine operation (1 HIGH AT
STAND, I=0 EVER).
6 BLINKS = Malfunctioning of the contactor driver circuit (DRIVER SHORTED, COIL
SHORTED).
7 BLINKS = Excessive temperature, greater than 80C (TH. PROTECTION).
CONTINUOUS BLINKING (32 BLINKS) = Low battery charge, battery with < 10% of
residual charge (BATTERY).

6.5.1 Decoding the alarms displayed on console (H2B LIFTING)


1) STAND BY VMN LOW
The test is carried out in standby. If the VMN voltage is lower than 1/3 of the battery
voltage, an alarm is signalled. Possible causes:
a) Check the motor wiring to make sure it is correct.
b) Chopper broken, replace.
2) NO FULL COND.
The test is carried out in full conduction.
If, in this condition, the VMN is found to be greater than 1/3 VBATT, the diagnostic
circuit is faulty, causing a safety risk, and thus machine operation is inhibited. If the
defect persists, replace the logic.
3) TH.PROTECTION
An indication that the chopper temperature has exceeded 80C.
The maximum current is gradually reduced, reaching 0 at a temperature of 85C. If
the alarm occurs while cold:
a) Check the thermal sensor connection.
b) Thermal sensor failure.
c) Connection on the power interrupted (check the connector that connects the
logic to the power unit).
d) Logic failure.

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.
b) Request microswitch stuck.
6) I HIGH AT STAND
Test carried out in standby, checks that the current is nil.
If this is not verified, an alarm is signalled. This alarm shuts down the machine.
Possible causes:
a) Current sensor broken and logic failure.
First replace the logic, and if the defect persists, replace the power unit.
7) I=0 EVER
Test carried out in running.
Checks that the current during running is greater than a minimum value. If not, an
alarm is signalled and the machine is shut down. Possible causes:
a) The current sensor is faulty. Replace the power unit.
8) EEPROM PAR.KO
Fault in the area of memory in which the adjustment parameters are stored. This
alarm inhibits machine operation.
If the defect persists when the key is switched off and on again, replace the logic.
If the alarm disappears, remember that the parameters stored previously have
been cancelled, and replaced by the default values.
9) 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 voltage, etc.); thus it must be reprogrammed. Consult
the console manual.
10) EEPROM DATA KO
The data in the area of memory that handles the hour-metre is incorrect. This alarm
does not shut down the machine. If the alarm disappears when the machine is
switched off and on again, keep in mind that the hour-metre data has been reset to
zero.
11) EEPROM OFF LINE
Fault in the nonvolatile memory that contains data relative to the area for the hourmetre, the alarms stored and the programming parameters.
If the alarm persists when the key is switched off and on again, replace the logic.

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 considerations are the same as for alarm 9 EEPROM CONF.KO.
13) WATCHDOG
The test is made in both running and standby.
It is a self-diagnosis test within the logic.
If an alarm should occur, replace the logic.
14) COIL SHORTED
There is an overcharge or a short circuit towards the positive of the battery on the
during negative contactor output.
Possible causes:
a) The coils of the contactors are in short circuit or they absorb more than 6A continue.
b) Short circuit with +batt of the cabling which cores out from the contactor connector
The alarm shows an occurred overcharge and not the fail of a chopper component.
When the external cause is removed it is possible to restart again.
15) DRIVER SHORTED
The test is carried out in standby. It checks that the during voltage of the drivers
commanding the contactors is at a coherent value with the forecasted state.
Possible cause:
a) Logic failure
b) Drivers broken because of an overvoltage in the cabling of the negative contactors. Replace the logic after having removed the cause.

8 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE TO BE REGULARLY REPEATED

Check outwear of electric contacts: they should be replaced when matchboard is too
strong and worn-out. Electric contacts should be checked every 3 months.
Check pedal microswitch: verify with a tester that there is no electric resistance between the contacts by measuring the voltage drop between its terminals. Also the release should have a firm sound. The pedal microswitch should be checked every 3
months.
Check motor-battery power links: they should be in excellent shae as well as the wires'
claddings. Wires should be checked every 3 months.
Control of the pedal and contactors springs. They should be able to extend to its full
extention and checked every 3 months.
Check contactors mechanical movements. They should be frictionfree and not stick.
Mechanical movements of the contactors should be checked every 3 months.

Checks should be done by skilled personnel only and, all spare parts should be original.
Installation of this electronic controller should be done according to the diagrams included in this manual and any variation should be done accordingly with the supplier.
The supplier is not responsible for any problem that rises from using wiring solutions
different from the ones suggested on this manual.

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.
