Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the proper installation, operation, and maintenance of your Dilwe Electric Motor Controller Kit. Please read this manual thoroughly before attempting to install or use the product to ensure safe and efficient performance. This kit is designed for use with 36V, 48V, or 60V 500W brushless motors in applications such as DIY electric bikes, vehicles, scooters, and folding cars.
Product Overview
The Dilwe Electric Motor Controller Kit includes a brushless motor controller and an S886 display unit. Key features of this kit are:
- Durable Display: The S886 display is constructed from premium ABS material, offering a lightweight yet robust enclosure that protects internal circuits. It provides good toughness and waterproof performance.
- Efficient Heat Dissipation: The metal casing of the controller features a grooved design to enhance heat dissipation, protecting internal circuits from thermal overload and ensuring stable operation.
- Three Operating Modes: The controller supports three modes for various situations. It automatically operates in sine mode for normal Hall motors, identifies and repairs damaged Hall sensors, and switches to a no-Hall mode if Hall motor sensors are damaged. It also remembers phase for normal Hall sensors.
- Wide Compatibility: Suitable for 500W motors, making it ideal for various DIY electric vehicle projects.
- Easy Installation: Designed for quick and convenient installation due to its compact size and light weight.

Setup and Installation
The installation process involves connecting the controller to the motor, battery, display, and other accessories (e.g., throttle, brake levers). While the kit is designed for quick installation, careful attention to wiring is crucial.
- Mount the Controller: Securely mount the brushless motor controller in a location that allows for good airflow to aid in heat dissipation. Ensure it is protected from direct water exposure.
- Mount the Display: Attach the S886 display to your handlebar in a position that is easily visible and accessible during operation.
- Connect Motor Wires: Connect the three main phase wires from the controller to the corresponding motor phase wires. These are typically thicker wires.
- Connect Hall Sensor Wires: Connect the smaller Hall sensor wires from the controller to the motor's Hall sensor connector. Ensure correct color matching.
- Connect Battery: Connect the main power wires (red for positive, black for negative) from the controller to your battery. Double-check polarity before connecting.
- Connect Display: Plug the S886 display cable into the designated port on the controller.
- Connect Accessories: Connect the throttle, brake levers (if applicable), and any other accessories (e.g., pedal assist sensor) to their respective ports on the controller. Refer to the wiring diagram provided with your specific motor or vehicle for detailed connection points.
- Initial Test: After all connections are made, perform a low-power test to ensure everything is functioning correctly before full operation.

Operating Instructions
The S886 display provides essential information and control over your electric system.
- Power On/Off: Press and hold the power button on the S886 display to turn the system on or off.
- Information Display: The display shows real-time data such as speed, battery level, assist level, and trip distance.
- Assist Level Adjustment: Use the '+' and '-' buttons on the display to adjust the level of motor assistance.
- Mode Selection: The controller automatically adapts to motor conditions (sine mode for normal Hall motors, no-Hall mode for damaged Hall sensors). No manual mode selection is typically required for this function.
- Throttle Operation: Gently apply the throttle to engage the motor. The amount of power delivered will correspond to the throttle position and selected assist level.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your controller kit.
- Keep Clean: Periodically wipe down the controller and display with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Check Connections: Regularly inspect all wiring connections for looseness, corrosion, or damage. Secure any loose connections.
- Avoid Water Exposure: While the display has some waterproof performance, avoid submerging the components in water or exposing them to heavy rain.
- Heat Management: Ensure the controller's grooved casing remains clear of obstructions to allow for proper heat dissipation.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| System does not power on | Loose battery connection, dead battery, faulty display cable. | Check battery connection and charge level. Ensure display cable is securely plugged in. |
| Motor not responding | Loose motor phase wires, Hall sensor wires, or throttle connection. Controller error. | Verify all motor and throttle connections. Check display for error codes. |
| Inconsistent power delivery | Damaged Hall sensors (motor), loose connections, or throttle issue. | The controller's 3-mode function should adapt to Hall sensor issues. Check all connections. Inspect throttle for damage. |
| Display not showing correct information | Loose display cable, incorrect settings. | Ensure display cable is firmly connected. Consult a technician if issues persist. |
For issues not listed here, or if troubleshooting steps do not resolve the problem, please contact customer support.
