Setup and Installation
Proper installation is critical for the safe and efficient operation of your motor controller. Refer to the wiring diagram below and follow the instructions carefully.

Wiring Connections:
Each connector on the controller is labeled. Ensure all connections are secure and correctly matched.
- Battery +/-: Connect to your 48V or 60V battery pack. Ensure correct polarity (red for positive, black for negative).
- Motor Phase: Connect the three motor phase wires (typically blue, green, yellow) from the controller to the corresponding motor phase wires.
- Throttle: Connect to the throttle assembly for speed control.
- Low Level Brake: Connect to the brake levers. This signal cuts power to the motor when brakes are applied.
- Hall: Connect the Hall sensor wires from the motor to the controller. These provide feedback on motor position.
- Reverse: Connect to a switch for engaging the reverse function.
- Head Light: Connect to the headlight power supply.
- Charge Port: Connect to the charging port for battery charging (if applicable and supported by your system).
- Hard Boot: This connection may enable a hard-start feature. Consult your motor/vehicle documentation for specific use.
- Display: Connect to a compatible display unit for showing speed, battery level, and other parameters. This connection is specifically designed for phase displays.
- E-Lock: Connect to an electronic lock or ignition switch to control power to the controller.
- 3 Speed (L M H): Connect to a three-speed switch to select low, medium, or high-speed modes.
Important: Before making any connections, ensure the battery is disconnected. Double-check all wiring before applying power.
Operating Instructions
Once the controller is correctly installed and all connections are verified:
- Power On: Turn on the E-Lock or ignition switch to power the controller.
- Throttle Control: Gently twist the throttle to engage the motor and control speed.
- Speed Selection: Use the 3-speed switch (if installed) to select your desired speed mode (Low, Medium, High).
- Reverse Function: Activate the reverse switch (if installed) to engage reverse motion. Ensure the area behind you is clear before reversing.
- Headlight: Activate the headlight switch (if installed) to turn on the headlight.
- Braking: Apply brakes as needed. The low-level brake connection will cut motor power for safety.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Kunray motor controller:
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check all wiring connections for looseness or damage.
- Cleanliness: Keep the controller free from dust, dirt, and moisture. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning.
- Heat Dissipation: Ensure the controller's aluminum casing has adequate ventilation for heat dissipation. Do not obstruct cooling fins.
- Avoid Overloading: Do not exceed the rated power and current limits of the controller.
- Storage: If storing the vehicle for an extended period, disconnect the battery.
Troubleshooting
This section provides solutions to common issues. For problems not listed here, contact customer support.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Motor does not start | No power to controller | Check battery connection and E-Lock/ignition switch. Ensure battery is charged. |
| Motor runs intermittently | Loose wiring connection | Inspect all wiring, especially throttle, Hall sensor, and motor phase connections. |
| Motor runs but no speed control | Throttle issue | Check throttle wiring and functionality. |
| Controller gets excessively hot | Overload or insufficient ventilation | Reduce load on the motor. Ensure controller has adequate airflow and cooling. |
| Incorrect speed or erratic behavior | Hall sensor or display wiring issue | Verify Hall sensor and display connections. Ensure display is compatible. |
