Rehab1 Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 I connected the cooling fan to the ACM. Using a heat gun from a distance I brought the temperature up to 50 degrees C thinking it would automatically turn on. No luck! No voltage at the socket. Has anyone tried installing a fan on their ACM obtaining voltage from the socket on the main board depicted in photo #2? @Marty Backe said his dual fans on his Monster derive their power at that site. Maybe the ACM board is not programmed to power that socket. Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone on the forum tried installing a fan on their ACM using voltage from this particular socket on the board? Any ideas? What we don't know is if the firmware is enabled on the ACM version of the board. Don't know how this tidbit may relate, but the ACM overheat shutdown occurs at 79 degrees.

OMG you could cook an egg on the hot plate! that cannot be good for electrical components! Have your Monster fans ever turned on? That should be 174 degrees Fahrenheit. The Monster fans seem to be running all the time, but they turn on at ~43 degrees Celsius. There are two fans and I don't know if both turn on at the same time or one-by-one based on how hot things get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve454 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 You can't cook a chicken at 79 degrees celsius, no matter how long you cook, it will never reach the safe internal temperature of 185 degrees fahrenheit. So the Gotway fans come on below the safe cooking temperature, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I rode @who_the's V3s I was really impressed with the additional power and heft of the wheel. Maybe my recent problems were due to an imbalance in my Gotway Universe. My Monster and ACM are 84v wheels but the MSuper is still 67 volts. Not good. So when Jason ships out my new wheel everything should be in balance again . I have to wait a couple of weeks, so things are still sketchy here @Rehab1http://www.ebay.com/itm/5Pcs-40C-NC-Thermal-Protector-Thermost-Temperature-Control-Switch-KSD9700 switch closes at about 40C.

SuperSport Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 My concern, but only because I'm still on an 820Wh, is all the mileage those fans and extra electronics are stealing. I like to use up my battery on rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos E Rodriguez Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 The fan only runs if it gets hot. If it gets hot your board wont run so why do you worry? If it runs all the time it probably will eliminate 100 meters or range. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSport Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Yep, I'm already trying to figure out how to get one. Now that they have heavier wires and better connectors, it's a perfect time to buy a new one. I've ridden in 100 degree weather and never overheated, so I'm personally not concerned about fans. Just did a 4000 Foot climb last weekend, and also did not overheat. But, I did run out of battery. I do only weigh 155lbs when wet, so that's part of it.

Plan B sounds good! Thanks! I'm going to experiment and increase the temperature tomorrow and see if the fan will come on. If that fails I will go with plan B!

So the Gotway fans come on below the safe cooking temperature, It's 165 fahrenheit / 75 celsius for chicken. I have the fahrenheit printed on a magnet on my fridge, have seen it said to be 165 many times, and it's the first temp that came up when I googled it. For what it's worth, I usually cook chicken at 350, but have often cooked it at 250. It will reach 165 no problem at that temperature, and it's much more difficult to overcook it and make it dry that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
