I bought a new SCP2 fitted with a SCP201bc Universal Cartridge and can't seem to get it to work at all. I race on a track operating in analogue Negative Polarity mode. I have configured the cartridge for Negative Polarity by removing the jumper on J1 as per the manual's instructions. I have also set up the controller by following the instructions in “QUICK START common section” of the manual.
1) I plug in the controller (fitted with an XLR plug) and the Max Diagnostic LED lights up Green which seems to indicate that everything is correctly wired up.
2) I squeeze the throttle and at 1/3, the LC/SS ON Green light comes on and the MAX Diagnostic LED light turns half Green/Red and there's a humming sound from the PSU (12v – 6 amps, Unregulated).
3) Going on to full throttle, the MAX Diagnostic LED turns to a Blinking (every 1 second) RED light and the LC/SS ON light goes off. And the humming sound from the PSU stops.
4) During all this time, the car on the track does not move at all!
5) I pulled out the SCP2 and plugged in a PM (Negative Polarity) controller and everything works fine! Car moves through the full range of throttle control, brakes, slows, no problems.
6) The label on the packaging says the Controller is a SCP201AI Universal Controller which, I believe, uses the same SCP201bc cartridge.
Has anyone encountered a similar problem? Or can anyone tell me just what is wrong? Any and all help will be much appreciated.
