Parma controller internal wiring question

Postby btaylor » Wed Aug 13, 2014 8:23 am

Anyone here know of, or have a diagram of the internal 3 wire hook ups INSIDE the controllers?
I have several that had been converted to two wire (no brakes) and i need to rewire a couple for the new road course with brakes. any help would be great as my google search keeps showing me the track hookups.

White to the front of resistor, red to the rear, black to trigger.

From memory, at work right now. I am sure someone will come along and verify/correct me.

The band that the red brake wire connects to is isolated from the resistor. If you have a controller with three wires it is wired for brakes. If you do not want to use brakes just leave the red wire disconnected. If the controller lacks the third wire it will also not have the brake contact band and it would be difficult to add that feature.
