Software for programming DCX & AXE

DCX Shunt Wound Motor Controllers

The DCX product line is used with separately excited Wound Motors, commonly called SHUNT wound motors. These units drive golf cars, people movers, scissors lifts, boom trucks, Neighborhood electric vehicles and a variety of other applications. This controller will provide 15-20% more torque to the stock vehicle. One of the nice features of this controller is the potting that is done to keep the water out. You can get this controller wet over and over again with no worries about shorting. So rest assured that you are getting the best controller on the market!

AXE Series Wound Motor Controllers

The AXE product line is used with SERIES Wound Motors. These units drive golf cars, scissors lifts, boom trucks, Neighborhood electric vehicles, and a variety of other applications.

NPX Series Wound Low Cost Non-programmable Motor Controllers

The NPX is a cut down version of the AXE without the ability to change any of the preset with in the software.

Electric Boat racing by high schools
Experimental EV research is an important part of the Alltrax past, present and future. Several schools and college EV challenges and races have been won powered by Alltrax controllers.

1979 Honda CBX Electric Motor Cycle
2-4-08...Few more test miles on new controller, got full refund on the previous controller even though it was technically out 20 days. Wow! Alltrax and Carl at EV Drives.com rock!!.. got some great suggestions for changes on my schematic for the bike... Thank you!...Recently, At the local store; A couple guys parked next to me say(new york accent),"It's something like off james bond, wow, what year is that?" I say "1981"... they say "wow I didn't even know they made them" "48 volts, wow... turn it on so I can hear it." ...I say "you can't hear it"... his buddy says, "hey,hey,it is on!"... I ride away... Too funny !!... Purchased as a junker hurricane bike. Selected for it's classic looks and powerful brakes. I added bodywork to make it look like an '81. Factory fairing and Honda-line saddle bags.

If you are reading this then that must mean that you are an off-roader. And being an off-roader these past couple of years you would have witnessed the rise and fall of the Golf Cart craze as well as the rise of the Rhino craze. Well I am here to tell you that it has now gone to far.
Rhinos are the ever popular Utility Vehicle built by Yamaha. Over the past year the aftermarket has responded to their growing popularity by building suspension kits, shocks, tires and wheels, roll cages, and even custom bodies for these expensive toys. But after seeing these at the SEMA show this year it is official that we have lost our minds.
Now I know what you are thinking, you’re thinking I’m an idiot. It snows in most of the world, so why not build a track kit for the Rhino? Well here is my reasoning. With a dry weight of nearly 1100lbs and a loaded weight (two people and gear) of nearly 1600lbs how much further into the snow and how much deeper of snow is this behemoth actually going to be able to go through with tracks instead of its standard all-terrain tires?
Lets face it, the majority of Rhino owners are either using them for their intended utility purpose either on the farm or on the ranch, or they are using them in the desert. If you want to blast around in the snow why not buy a snowmobile? You can pick up a 2 seat snowmobile for half the price of a stock Rhino, not even counting the thousands you would spend on tracks.

NEV Markets / Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV) is an American term for a speed limited battery electric vehicle (25-35 miles per hour in the U.S.A), restricted by law to operation on roads with speed limits not exceeding 35-45 mph (56-72 km/h) These speed restrictions, combined with a typical driving range of 30 miles (48 km) per charge.

To satisfy requirements for operation on streets, NEV's are equipped with three-point seat belts, windshields and windshield wipers, running lights, headlights, brake lights, reflectors, rear view mirrors, and turn signals.They must be licensed, and the driver must be licensed. Because airbags are not required the NEV cannot travel on highways or freeways.

People Movers, Special Transportation
Special transportation using electric vehicles has tripled over the last three years. Alltrax provides performance controllers to several major customers who require more torque and flexible features for a demanding application

After Market Sales; Golf and EEV
The golf car after-market has grown over across the US and now we are seeing the EFV used for short runs to town.

Industrial and Process Equipment
The industrial material handling markets require higher performance controllers. This includes re- builders, OEM, and special design applications.

The Alltrax controllers' thermal and power performance is better than most manufacturers' requirements.

Golf Fleet and OEM applications
Original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and fleet golf applications require a reliable cost effective controller. Alltrax provides flexible tools and adapters for many golf car
vehicles.

The many golf cars platforms, ground keeping utility vehicles, and multi person cars require electric motor controllers that can serve many different needs.

Marine After Market & OEM
Applications
The marine market is a new and emerging opportunity for those who compete against the hydrocarbon driven boats. Advanced motors, battery technology, and environmental water quality concerns have provided boating enthusiasts an electric alternative.

Harsh environments, high customer expectations, and flexible design requires high performance and high quality products.

While most boats on the water today are powered by diesel engines, and sail power and gasoline engines are also popular, it is perfectly feasible to power boats by electricity too.
Passenger solar boat Solifleur, Switzerland 1995Electric boats were very popular from the 1880s until the 1920s, when the internal combustion engine took dominance. Since the energy crises of the 1970s, interest in this quiet and potentially renewable marine energy source has been increasing steadily again, especially as solar cells became available, for the first time making possible motorboats with an infinite range like sailboats. The first practical solar boat was probably constructed in 1975 in England (see Electrical Review Vol 201 No 7 12 August 1977). With the present state of technology, many[citation needed] believe that the time is right for the increased usage of electric or solar boats.

Electric Vehicle applications
Driven by high oil prices, the traditional EV market has expanded exponentially. From conversions to OEM applications, the motor and controller combination provide the
customer solutions using proven and viable technologies.

High customer expectations and harsh environments have customers seeking high performance alternatives for on-road vehicles. The company founder designed our products for racing applications, thus the company was born "At the Race Track"

The industrial world is expanding rapidly while fossil fuels shrink. Energy usage must become precise and clean. Electric motor controllers are a vital link in this effort to move ahead while preserving our future health.

The highway system will remain intact but with fewer petroleum- powered vehicles on it and a plethora of electrics. The Genesis of motor controllers is now with neighborhood electric vehicles (NEV's), golf carts, people carriers, processing equipment, electric recreational vehicles for boating, scooters, dirt bikes and motor cycle applications.

The ability to manage electric power from batteries is difficult but achievable. With the advent of the new battery technology, the lithium ion cell batteries will open a world before our eyes that will bring changes like no other.

We are on that track now and proud to offer the Alltrax line of AXE, DCX, & NPX motor controllers. I stand behind these proven designs and guarantee them.

Coming in the next year are an exciting new line of AC motor controllers and an AC motor from Alltrax that will bring more reliable models to choose from than ever before offered in the DC world.
