612 battery charger plug

How did you get on? Did you get the indication on the dash working too?

 

Pretty easy to get the indicator to work. Basically the cable housing bridges the 12V supply to a pin that causes the display to light (looped over). I posted some links to this for the 599. That thread has the pinout for the 599; it is probably the same for the 612.

 

Pinout for the 599 is here but the process is the same and likely the same pinout. Easy to check.

Anyone figure out the pinout for the 612 and early F430? I found the +, - but then the third pin blows the fuse if connected to 12v

 

@TrojanFan did you find the 3 pin or 4 pin cable pinout? Trying to create a cord for the Zivan charger.

 

@TrojanFan Could you share what you found? I am looking to re-create the ~70" long cable that goes from the four pin (aviation style) Zivan port to the 3 pin Ferrari plug.

 

Hi All,

I have just bought the plug and tested ready to install onto my ctek charger. The Amphenol plug pins are marked A, B and C. A is the 12V from the battery. B is Ground (0V) and C is the sense connection.
If there is no 12V on A you need to check the 15A fuse (F29) above the battery.
I ordered from DigiKey in the USA. The plugs arrived pretty quickly. I had to order 2, so have an extra kit, if anyone needs one send me a PM.

 

Do you just leave the sense disconnected for the C-tek connection since two wire?

I've re-created a cable for the original Zivan charger and a spare if anyone is interested.

 

You could leave disconnected, or you could join A and C with a link.

 

Does your adapter show the status of charging on the dash and block the starter?

 

@Sj_engrYes is works. The cables on my Ctek were a little large for the pins, that was my only difficulty. I had to use a smaller wire for the link. It is only pulling in a relay. You can hear it energise.
When I was testing with my meter, B was clearly ground and A was the 12V. Testing between A and C there was approximately 60 Ohms, so I was confident that was the relay coil. What were you getting when testing the 430?

I ended up adding a CTEK pigtail directly behind the driver seat.

This thread did help me build two Zivan replacement cables.

 

As @superdoug noted, it does work and it shows on the dash. The info posted in the past is what I used to build a couple of adapters for my car, they work perfectly. He is also correct about the wire size and the pins, inconvenient but manageable and using a smaller wire for the 'connected' signal makes it a lot easier.
