• Reverse Gear Control: Allows for backward movement when needed.
• 3-Speed Functionality: Offers multiple speed settings for varied riding conditions.
• Cruise Control: Maintains a set speed without continuous throttle input.
• Self-Learning Function: Automatically adapts to motor phase and operating direction.
• High/Low Brake Compatibility: Supports different braking system electrical levels.
• Alarm Power & Signal: Integrated alarm functions for security.
• Throttle Control: Standard throttle input for speed regulation.
• Hall Sensor Support: Compatible with motors equipped with Hall sensors.
• Key Lock (Battery +): Provides a secure power switch.
• Pointer Meter Line: Output for analog speed display.
• Dual-Mode Square Wave: Contributes to stronger climbing power and reduced motor/tire noise.

4. Installation and Wiring

Careful wiring is crucial for the correct operation of the controller. Refer to the diagrams and instructions below for proper connection.

Wiring Steps:

1. Motor Line Connection: Connect the motor phase lines (usually three thick wires) from the controller to the motor, matching colors.
2. Hall Line Connection: Connect the Hall sensor lines (usually five thinner wires) from the controller to the motor, matching colors. If your motor does not have Hall lines, this step can be skipped.
3. Battery Line Connection: Connect the battery positive (+) to the two red wires from the controller and the battery negative (-) to the black wire. Ensure correct polarity.
4. Throttle Line Connection: Connect the throttle lines from the controller to your throttle unit, matching colors.
5. Self-Learning Process:
   • Ensure the power is off.
   • Connect the two self-learning lines (typically white wires).
   • Turn on the power. The wheel will either rotate forward or reverse.
   • If the wheel rotates forward, separate the self-learning lines.
   • If the wheel rotates in reverse, separate the self-learning lines, then connect them together again. The wheel should now rotate forward. Separate the self-learning lines once the correct direction is established.
   • This process allows the controller to match the motor's phase and adjust the direction of operation, adapting to the battery voltage.
   • Note: When using the throttle to control speed, the two self-learning lines must be separated.
6. Other Functions: Connect other functions such as LCD instrument line, 3-speed, cruise, high/low brake, alarm power, alarm signal, reverse, key lock, and pointer meter line as required for your specific setup.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the controller is correctly installed and wired, follow these general operating guidelines:

• Power On: Ensure all connections are secure before turning on the main power switch (key lock).
• Throttle Control: Gently twist the throttle to engage the motor and control speed. Avoid sudden, aggressive throttle inputs.
• Braking: Apply brakes smoothly. The controller is designed for sensitive braking response.
• 3-Speed Function: Utilize the 3-speed switch to select your desired speed mode (if connected).
• Cruise Control: Activate cruise control (if connected) to maintain a constant speed. Refer to your vehicle's specific instructions for engaging this feature.
• Self-Learning Note: Remember that the self-learning lines must be separated during normal throttle operation.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your MOTOBERRY Brushless Controller, consider the following maintenance tips:

• Keep Clean: Regularly clean the exterior of the controller to prevent dust and debris buildup, which can hinder heat dissipation. Use a dry, soft cloth.
• Inspect Connections: Periodically check all wiring connections for tightness and signs of corrosion or damage. Loose connections can lead to intermittent operation or component failure.
• Avoid Water Exposure: While the aluminum alloy casing offers some protection, avoid direct exposure to heavy rain or submersion in water to prevent internal damage.
• Monitor for Overheating: Although designed for efficient heat dissipation, ensure the controller is mounted in a location with adequate airflow. If the controller feels excessively hot to the touch, investigate potential causes such as motor overload or insufficient ventilation.
• Cable Management: Secure all cables to prevent them from snagging, rubbing, or being damaged during operation.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your controller, refer to these common troubleshooting steps:

• Motor Not Responding:
  • Check all power connections, including battery and key lock.
  • Verify throttle connection and functionality.
  • Ensure the self-learning process was completed successfully and the self-learning lines are separated.
  • Inspect motor phase lines and Hall sensor lines for proper connection.
• Wheel Rotates in Wrong Direction:
  • Perform the self-learning process again as described in Section 4.
• Intermittent Power/Operation:
  • Check for loose or corroded connections on all wires.
  • Ensure the battery is adequately charged and providing the correct voltage.
• No Display on LCD/Pointer Meter:
  • Verify the connection of the LCD instrument line or pointer meter line.
  • Ensure the display unit itself is functional.
• Unusual Noise from Motor/Controller:
  • Re-run the self-learning process to ensure proper motor phase matching.
  • Check for any physical obstructions in the motor or wheel.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, consult a qualified technician or contact customer support.
