Re: [electricboats] How to reset a fault with the sevcon GEN 4 controller?

Thank you.  

It's AGM, they were all balanced and evenly charged on the bench before being moved to the boat. 

I haven't tried with the charger again since disconnecting it (trying to return back to the state it was in when it worked).  At power-up it starts the six blink fault indication on the green LED.

Hi Ryan,

Are you using LiFePO4 then the voltage of all the batteries MUST be inside 0.1 Volt (eg. 12.84-12.94) before you attemt to connect them into a bank.

Did you check ?

Is the sevcon fine when you connect the charger, without operating the motor ?

So I had everything working, and at a certain point I plugged in the charger for the batteries and attempted to spin the motor at the same time. At this point the sevcon resorted to a fault with the LED flash in six times.  From the manual the six flashes seem to indicate over or under voltage on input or output or throttle greater than 20% at start up.  I checked all of the cables again.

I tried disconnecting the power and reconnecting with the foot stays. The voltage meter is showing 53.6 V.

I have disconnected the charger, Put everything back how it was. The fault is still indicating. Any idea how to reset it?
