4.1 Wiring Diagram
Carefully follow the wiring diagram below to connect the controller to your E-bike/scooter components. Each wire is color-coded and labeled for specific functions.
Key Connections:
- Throttle: Connect to your throttle unit for speed control.
- Speed Limit Line: Used to activate or deactivate speed limiting features.
- Hall Phase Slot Line: Connect to the motor's Hall sensor wires.
- Booster: For pedal-assist systems (PAS).
- Brake: Connect to your brake levers, typically for motor cut-off during braking.
- Instrument: Connect to your display or instrument panel.
- Power Supply: Main power input from the battery.
- Self-Study Line: Used for initial motor pairing/learning.
- Light Line: For connecting lights or other accessories.
4.2 Installation Steps
- Mount the controller securely in a protected area on your E-bike/scooter, ensuring it is away from direct water exposure and excessive vibration.
- Connect the main power supply wires from your battery to the controller's power input.
- Connect the motor phase wires and Hall sensor wires to the corresponding connectors on the controller.
- Connect the throttle, brake levers, instrument panel, and any other accessories (e.g., lights, booster) as per the wiring diagram.
- Once all connections are made, perform the self-study procedure if required by your motor/display system (refer to your motor/display manual for specific instructions).
- Carefully re-check all connections before restoring power.
5. Operation
After successful installation, you can begin operating your E-bike/scooter.
- Power On/Off: Use the power button on your E-bike/scooter's display or battery to turn the system on or off.
- Speed Control: The throttle provides variable speed control within the 1-4.2V range.
- Speed Modes: This controller supports three speed modes. The method to switch between these modes typically depends on your display unit. Consult your display's manual for instructions on changing speed modes.
- Adjustable Wire: The controller features an adjustable wire, which may be used for fine-tuning certain parameters. Specific adjustment procedures would depend on the connected display or external tools.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Motor does not respond / No power | Loose power connection, low battery, incorrect wiring, faulty display/throttle. | Check all power connections. Ensure battery is charged. Verify all wiring against the diagram. Test display/throttle if possible. |
| Motor runs intermittently or roughly | Loose motor phase wires or Hall sensor wires, motor/controller incompatibility. | Inspect motor and Hall sensor connections. Ensure controller is compatible with your motor type (e.g., Hall sensor vs. sensorless). |
| Speed limit not working | Speed limit wire not connected or configured correctly. | Check the speed limit wire connection. Refer to your display manual for configuration. |
| Controller gets excessively hot | Overload, poor ventilation, short circuit. | Reduce load. Ensure controller has adequate airflow. Check for any short circuits in the wiring. |
| Low Voltage Protection activates too soon | Battery voltage drop under load, incorrect low voltage setting. | Check battery health. Ensure the controller's low voltage protection setting (DC30/40V) is appropriate for your battery. |
Note: Light reflection and different displays may cause the color of the item in pictures to appear slightly different from the real product. The measurement allowed error is +/- 1-3cm for physical dimensions.
7. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your brushless motor controller, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Keep Clean: Regularly wipe down the controller's exterior with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris.
- Keep Dry: Avoid exposing the controller to water or excessive moisture. While the aluminum housing offers some protection, it is not fully waterproof.
- Inspect Connections: Periodically check all wire connections for tightness and signs of wear or corrosion. Re-secure any loose connections.
- Ventilation: Ensure the controller's mounting location allows for adequate airflow to prevent overheating.
- Avoid Physical Damage: Protect the controller from impacts and physical damage.
8. User Tips
- Always ensure your battery is fully charged before long rides to prevent unexpected power loss.
- If your E-bike/scooter has a self-learning function, utilize it after initial installation or if you replace the motor to optimize performance.
- For best results and safety, consider having the initial installation and any complex troubleshooting performed by a professional.
