Netgain Controls Warp-Drive Controller Manual

I acquired a Netgain Warp-Drive 160v/1000amp controller on the used market. The person I bought it from did not have the manual so I didn’t know the pinouts for the main wiring harness. I contacted Netgain Motors and was informed that Netgain Controls was actually a different company and it is no longer in business. Despite that, they were able to send me an old copy of the first generation manual for that controller. But that manual was missing some documentation on some wires on my version of the controller.

Does anybody have a copy of this controller’s user manual? If not, do you happen to know the purpose of the brown and purple wires in the main 10-pin harness?

When I was using these controllers made by the guy in Utah. every one blew up,, not just shorted, but BLEW UP.
Ryan even came to my shop to see the problem, and told me they were going to find out, they never did, i ended up refunding the money to the customer, and used another type. The El Camino used a EVNetics 1,000 amp @ 388 volts it had PS,PB,AC, Heat , 5 speed, 411 posi, extremely, fast HV 11 Net Gain DC motor

I couldn't view your attachments, they are just broken links. Darn, that doesn't sound good for the Netgain controller. Do you know if the ones that blew up were the first generation? Because mine is the second generation and it looks VERY different than the first gen.

Wayne, I can see your photos now. Thanks for the information and background. I don't have a choice but to move forward with the controller I have. Disappointing there were such design flaws in the implementation. Hopefully mine will be OK. It did run for several years with no issue.
