New old stock AX2500

HI all,

I have new old stock AX2500 controller that has not been used. I am using the controller for a tracked robot. I have a question about wiring the controller\'s control circuit. Can i wire the controller\'s control circuit with a DC-DC power converter? I have DC-DC converter that will convert 24v to 12v 5amps or do i need to have standlone 12v battery for the controller\'s control circuit? Also what is the size of fuse i should use for controller\'s control circuit and size of fuse for the motor power circuit? I was thinking 5amp for control circuit and 100 amp for the motors. I am using pair of wheelchair motors.

Thanks,

a converter will be fine.

However, unless your unit is very old, it can be powered soleley from the main thick Red/Black wires. The yellow wire is only needed to turn the controller off when grounding the wire.

Hi all,

This AX2500 is very old, it has red and black wires for the controller\'s control circuit. It\'s a AX2500 not a AX2550.

I have no more room in my robot for a standlone battery for the control circuit. i thought that i can use a dc-dc converter for replacement standlone battery.

Thanks,
