5. Installation and Setup
Installing the Jipin Dual Motor Controller requires careful attention to wiring and component compatibility. It is strongly recommended to seek professional assistance for installation if you are not experienced with electric scooter electronics.
5.1 Wiring Connections
The controller features various color-coded wires for different functions. While specific wiring diagrams are not provided in this manual, general connections typically include:
- Battery Power (Thick Red/Black): Connects to the scooter's main battery. Ensure correct polarity.
- Motor Phase Wires (Thick Yellow/Green/Blue): Connect to the corresponding phase wires of the brushless DC motors.
- Hall Sensor Wires (Thin Red/Black/Yellow/Green/Blue): Connect to the Hall sensors within the motors. These provide feedback on motor position.
- Throttle/Accelerator: Connects to the throttle input for speed control.
- Brake Levers: Connects to the brake sensors, which typically cut motor power when activated.
- Display/Meter: Connects to the scooter's display unit for speed, battery level, and other information.
- Self-Learning/Pairing Wires: Often two white wires that, when connected briefly, allow the controller to learn the motor's phase sequence.
- Other Wires: May include wires for lights, horn, cruise control, anti-theft, etc. Refer to your scooter's specific wiring diagram or consult a professional.

5.2 Controller Pairing/Self-Learning
To ensure the controller operates correctly with your motor, a self-learning or pairing process is often required. This typically involves:
- Ensure all other connections (battery, motor, throttle) are made correctly.
- Locate the two self-learning wires (often white or green, sometimes labeled 'learning').
- Turn on the scooter's power.
- Connect the two self-learning wires together. The motor should start spinning slowly.
- If the motor spins in the wrong direction, disconnect the wires, wait a few seconds, and reconnect them. The motor should then spin in the correct direction.
- Once the motor spins correctly, disconnect the self-learning wires. The pairing process is complete.
- Turn off the scooter, then turn it back on to test normal operation.
6. Operation
Once correctly installed and paired, the Jipin controller manages the power flow from the battery to the motors based on throttle input. It provides smooth acceleration and efficient power delivery for both front and rear motors in a dual-drive setup. The controller also integrates with brake sensors to cut power when braking, enhancing safety.
7. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and reliability of your controller:
- Keep Clean: Regularly inspect the controller for dirt, dust, or debris. Clean with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using liquids directly on the controller.
- Check Connections: Periodically verify that all wiring connections are secure and free from corrosion. Loose connections can cause intermittent operation or damage.
- Avoid Water Exposure: While the aluminum casing offers some protection, the controller is not fully waterproof. Avoid exposing it to heavy rain or submerging it in water.
- Thermal Management: Ensure the controller has adequate airflow for cooling. Do not obstruct the heat sink fins.

8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Jipin controller, consider the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power to scooter/controller | Loose battery connection, dead battery, blown fuse, faulty power switch. | Check battery charge and connections. Inspect fuse. Test power switch. |
| Motor not spinning or erratic behavior | Incorrect motor phase/Hall sensor wiring, throttle issue, brake sensor active, controller not paired. | Verify motor and Hall sensor connections. Check throttle and brake lever function. Perform controller self-learning/pairing (Section 5.2). |
| Motor spins in wrong direction | Incorrect motor phase sequence or Hall sensor wiring, or self-learning error. | Perform controller self-learning/pairing again (Section 5.2). If issue persists, check motor phase and Hall sensor wire order. |
| Overheating controller | Excessive load, poor ventilation, faulty motor. | Reduce load. Ensure controller has adequate airflow. Check motors for resistance or damage. |
If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, please contact a qualified technician or the seller for further assistance.
9. User Tips
- Pairing Controllers: As noted in the Q&A, pairing is a common concern. Always ensure you follow the self-learning procedure (Section 5.2) after initial installation or if you replace a motor or controller. This ensures the controller correctly identifies the motor's phase and rotation direction.
- Wire Management: Organize and secure all wires with zip ties or cable wraps to prevent them from snagging, rubbing, or getting damaged during scooter operation.
- Test Thoroughly: After any installation or repair, perform a thorough test of all functions (throttle, brakes, lights, display) at low speeds in a safe, open area before riding normally.
10. Warranty and Support
For warranty information, technical support, or service inquiries, please contact the seller or manufacturer directly. Keep your purchase receipt as proof of purchase. Any unauthorized modification or improper installation may void the product warranty.
