Signal specification

General 

All values listed below are measured between the respective terminal in column 2 (control module terminal) and terminal J2 19 (ground) unless otherwise stated in column 6 (other).

NOTE:

It is important to connect the breakout box, check the power supply and check the ground terminals before taking readings.

U= DC voltage in volts (V) Ubat = Battery voltage in volts (V)
I = Current in amperes (A) Ulow = Voltage approximately 0 V
f = Frequency in Hertz (Hz) %duty = Duty cycle (pulse ratio) as a percentage
