Tech Help / Elcon 3.3kw 4th gen charger for FXE not starting
« on: January 21, 2024, 02:27:56 PM »
Hi all, new to the forum so hoping I’ve come to the right place and sorry if this has been asked before. I’ve recently bought the following charger:

Im currently installing it in a zero fxe and was planning on using it as a plug and play option inline with the onboard 650w charger to give me ~4kw charging. However I have a suspicion It’s arrived needing can communication. I’ve wired it to the bike and tested that it’s receiving 240v a/c as well as d/c in the correct polarity (104v at 20%soc). I’ve also tested to see if there’s ~12v on (I believe) the low voltage obc pin - so I think the charger is okay.
Question is, is it possible to short out a couple pins on the can thing to get the charger to just turn on and let its charging curve do its thing? Or am I going to have to get a controller?
thanks for any advice in advance
Edit : IF ANYONE GETS ONE OF THESE CHARGERS YOU NEED TO SHORT PINS 2A and 2B FOR ENABLE
