I'm (finally!) starting the conversion of my Dynojet 250i Dyno to YourDyno.
My Dyno has a Frenelsa F16-120 retarder that will be controlled by the YourDyno power supply. Regarding this topic I have a couple of questions.
1- in the spec sheet of this retarder is stated that its total resistance is 16.3Ω but when taking a measurement between terminals (red and black wires terminals) I've got about 48Ω which was quite a surprise. Is this right?
Last time I used my Dyno I realized that braking was quite weak and I assumed this was yet another problem with dynojet electronics and not the retarder itself. Could I have a blown coil? There's nothing looking burnt but I don't know if this can happen.
I have found a document from Dynojet where it details the different connection needed for 110V (US) versions and 220V (Pics attached, mine is 220 V and wired as such). My guess is that this has something to do about how the original controller output according to its power input.
Can you confirm how to connect the YourDyno power supply?
2- I was planning to use the original controller wire but due to the OEM controller placement in the middle of the Dyno the wire doesn't reach the cabinet where I've fitted the UpurDyno controller, so I need to use a new wire.
Which wire gauge should I use?
110 V wiring as per Dynojet documentation
230V wiring as per Dynojet documentation which, of course, fits what I have on my Dyno)
230V wiring as per Dynojet documentation which, of course, fits what I have on my Dyno)
This is how mine is wired stateside 240 volt, factory dynojet. I forget the exact resistance on mine but thinking it was 13-14 ohms.
