6. Operating Instructions

Once the controller is correctly installed and connected, you can operate your electric vehicle using its various functions:

• Power On/Off: Use your vehicle's main power switch. The controller will initialize automatically.
• Speed Control: Use the 'Turn handle' (throttle) to control the vehicle's speed.
• Three-Speed Mode: If your vehicle supports it, use the 'Three speed' or 'Three speed cycle' wire to switch between different speed settings (e.g., low, medium, high).
• Reversing: Activate the 'Astern' function for reverse movement, if available on your vehicle.
• Braking: The controller integrates with your vehicle's braking system via 'Low brake' and 'High brake' lines.
• Anti-theft: If connected to an alarm system, the controller supports anti-theft features.
• Cruise Control: Engage the 'Cruise' function for maintaining a constant speed, if supported.
• One-Line Pass / Repair: These functions are typically for diagnostic or specific operational modes. Consult your vehicle's manual for specific usage.

7. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Heltec Brushless DC Controller, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Keep Clean: Regularly clean the exterior of the controller to prevent dust and dirt buildup. Use a soft, dry cloth.
• Avoid Moisture: While the casing is waterproof and moisture-proof, avoid prolonged exposure to extreme wet conditions or submersion. Ensure all connections are dry before operation.
• Check Connections: Periodically inspect all wiring connections for tightness and signs of wear or corrosion. Loose connections can lead to intermittent operation or damage.
• Temperature Management: Ensure the controller is installed in a location with adequate airflow to prevent overheating, especially during heavy use.
• Avoid Impact: Protect the controller from physical impact, which can damage internal components.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your controller, consider the following general troubleshooting steps:

• No Power: Check battery connections, main power switch, and the controller's power cord. Ensure the battery is charged.
• Motor Not Responding: Verify all motor phase wires and Hall sensor connections. Check the throttle ('Turn handle') connection.
• Intermittent Operation: Inspect all wiring for loose connections or damaged insulation.
• Unusual Noise: Ensure the motor is properly connected and there are no mechanical obstructions.
• Overheating: Check for proper ventilation around the controller. Reduce load if operating in extreme conditions.

For persistent issues, it is recommended to consult a qualified technician or contact Heltec customer support.

9. User Tips

• Initial Setup: After installation, perform a motor learning procedure (using the 'Study line') if your motor and controller are not pre-matched. This optimizes performance.
• Voltage Compatibility: Always ensure your battery voltage matches the controller's supported voltage range (48V/60V/72V) to prevent damage.
• Professional Installation: If you are unfamiliar with electrical wiring, it is highly recommended to seek professional assistance for installation to avoid potential hazards.

10. Warranty and Support
