Key Connections:
- Battery Line: Connects to the main battery power supply. Ensure correct polarity.
- Phase Lines (Motor): Connect to the motor's phase wires (typically three wires).
- Hall Line: Connects to the motor's Hall sensors (if applicable).
- Throttle: Connects to the throttle mechanism for speed control.
- E-Brake: Connects to the electronic brake levers.
- PAS (Pedal Assist System): Connects to the PAS sensor for pedal-assisted riding.
- Self-Study: Used for initial motor pairing and configuration.
- Light: Output for connecting a headlight or taillight.
- Display: Connects to a compatible display unit (if applicable).
- Anti-theft Signal/Power: Connections for anti-theft features.
- Speed: Speed signal output.
Carefully match each connector from the controller to the corresponding component on your electric bicycle or scooter. Secure all connections to prevent accidental disconnections or short circuits.
4.3 Mounting the Controller
The controller features mounting brackets for secure attachment. Choose a location that is:
- Protected from direct water exposure and excessive dust.
- Allows for good airflow around the grooved aluminum casing for optimal heat dissipation.
- Minimizes vibration and physical impact.

5. Operating Instructions
Once the controller is correctly installed and all connections are secure, follow these steps to operate your electric vehicle:
- Power On: Turn on the main power switch of your electric bicycle or scooter.
- Self-Study Function (Initial Setup): If this is the first time using the controller or if you have replaced the motor, you may need to perform the self-study function. Connect the two "Self-Study" wires (often white or green, labeled) and turn on the power. The motor should spin. If it spins in the wrong direction, disconnect the self-study wires, wait a few seconds, and reconnect them. The motor should then spin in the correct direction. Once the correct direction is established, disconnect the self-study wires.
- Throttle Control: Gently twist the throttle to accelerate. The controller's 3-mode sine wave design provides smooth and responsive motor control.
- Pedal Assist System (PAS): If your system includes a PAS, pedaling will activate motor assistance.
- Braking: Engage the brake levers to activate the electronic brake function, which can cut off motor power and apply braking.
- Power Off: Always turn off the main power switch when the vehicle is not in use.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Topyond motor controller.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the controller with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals.
- Connection Check: Regularly inspect all wire connections for tightness and signs of wear or corrosion. Re-secure any loose connections.
- Heat Dissipation: Ensure the controller's grooved casing remains free from obstructions (e.g., dirt, debris) to maintain effective heat dissipation.
- Environmental Protection: Protect the controller from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, heavy rain, and high humidity.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your motor controller, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Motor not running |
|
|
| Motor runs intermittently or with reduced power |
|
|
