Setup and Installation
This section outlines the general steps for replacing your scooter's controller. Specific disassembly and reassembly steps for your scooter model (Navee V40/V40 ipro) may vary and require consulting your scooter's primary user manual.
- Prepare the Scooter: Ensure the scooter is turned off and disconnected from any power source. Place it on a stable surface.
- Access the Controller: Locate and carefully open the compartment where the existing controller is housed. This typically involves removing screws from the deck or base plate.
- Disconnect Old Controller: Systematically disconnect all cables from the old controller. Take photos or make notes of each connection point (e.g., motor cables, battery cables, display cables, sensor cables) to aid in reassembly.
- Remove Old Controller: Once all cables are disconnected, carefully remove the old controller from its housing.
- Install New Controller: Place the new Navee controller into the compartment.
- Connect Cables: Reconnect all cables to the new controller. Pay close attention to the color coding and connector types.
Figure 2: Motor Cable Connection Diagram. When replacing, pay attention to the color of the motor wire (Blue, Green, Yellow). - Motor Cables: Ensure the blue, green, and yellow motor wires are connected to their corresponding terminals on the new controller.
- Battery Cables: Connect the main power cables from the battery.
- Other Cables: Reconnect all other cables (e.g., display, throttle, brake sensors) as they were on the old controller.
- Secure Controller: Ensure the new controller is securely fastened within its compartment.
- Close Compartment: Carefully close and secure the scooter's compartment cover.
- Initial Test: After installation, perform a brief test in a safe, open area to ensure all functions (throttle, brakes, lights, display) are working correctly and the speed increase is observed.
Operating Instructions
Once the new controller is successfully installed, your Navee V40/V40 ipro scooter (Germany/Poland/Nordic 20km/h version) will automatically operate with an increased maximum speed of 25 km/h. No additional configuration is typically required.
- Turn on your scooter as usual.
- The display should show normal operating parameters.
- The scooter's top speed will now be capped at approximately 25 km/h, an increase from the original 20 km/h.
Maintenance
The Navee scooter controller is a sealed electronic component and requires minimal maintenance. However, proper care of your scooter will help ensure the longevity of all its components, including the controller.
- Keep Dry: Avoid exposing the scooter to excessive moisture or water, as this can damage electronic components.
- Cleanliness: Periodically clean the scooter, especially around the controller compartment, to prevent dust and debris buildup. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth.
- Inspect Connections: During routine scooter maintenance, check that all cable connections to the controller remain secure and free from corrosion.
- Avoid Impact: Protect the controller compartment from physical impacts that could damage the internal circuitry.
