- Ignition
- Speed Signal
- High Brake (12V)
- Three Speed
- Temperature Sensor
- Reverse
- Low Brake (0V)
- Flux Weakening
- Anti-theft
- Cruise
- Self-learning
- Program Port
5.2 Physical Installation
The controller has an installing size of 175mm x 105mm x 53mm. Ensure adequate space and proper ventilation for mounting. The aluminum case aids in heat dissipation.
6. Operation and Programming
The Fardriver ND72260 controller can be debugged and programmed using a computer or a Bluetooth module connected to a mobile phone. Software links for download are provided with the kit.
6.1 Debugging via Bluetooth Module
Connect the Bluetooth module to the controller's program port. Use the dedicated mobile application to monitor parameters, adjust settings, and perform self-learning functions. Ensure the controller is powered off before connecting the Bluetooth module, then power on again.
7. Maintenance
The Fardriver ND72260 controller is designed for durability with an aluminum case and IP67 waterproof rating. Regular maintenance should include:
- Keeping the controller clean and free from excessive dust or debris.
- Ensuring proper airflow around the heat sink fins to prevent overheating.
- Periodically checking all wiring connections for tightness and signs of wear.
- Avoiding exposure to extreme temperatures or harsh chemicals.
8. Troubleshooting
8.1 General Issues
If the controller is not functioning as expected, consider the following:
- No Power/No Response: Check all power connections, battery voltage, and ignition switch.
- Motor Not Spinning: Verify Hall sensor connections, motor phase wires, and throttle signal. Ensure the self-learning function has been performed correctly.
- Abnormal Noise/Vibration: Recheck motor phase connections and Hall sensor wiring.
8.2 Compatibility Issues
As a universal controller, some auxiliary functions of the original vehicle (e.g., speedometer display) may not work normally after installation. Most functional interfaces may require modification rather than being plug-and-play. Before refitting, carefully check the function lines on the original vehicle and the communication signal of the speedometer.
If you encounter issues with motor compatibility, especially with non-QS Motors, some parameters may need to be tested and adjusted via the programming interface.
9. User Tips
- Wiring Plan: Always obtain and carefully study the connection plan for your specific vehicle and the controller. Understanding each connector's purpose is vital for correct installation.
- Parameter Adjustment: Be prepared to adjust parameters, especially if using a motor other than QS Motors. The PC or Bluetooth programming interface allows fine-tuning for optimal performance.
- Professional Installation: If you lack knowledge in electric kit assembly, consider seeking professional assistance to avoid potential damage or improper function.
