- DC48V 20A Brushless Controller: The central processing unit that regulates power to the motor based on input from the LCD instrument and other sensors.
- Connection Cables: A set of color-coded cables with various connectors for linking the LCD, controller, power source, motor, and other accessories.
- Power Switch: For turning the system on and off.
3. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of your electric scooter or e-bike. If you are unsure about any steps, it is recommended to seek assistance from a qualified technician.
Safety Precautions:
- Ensure the vehicle's power is completely off before beginning installation.
- Disconnect the battery to prevent accidental short circuits.
- Wear appropriate safety gear, including gloves and eye protection.
- Verify all connections are secure and correctly matched before applying power.
Installation Steps:
- Mount the LCD Instrument: Securely attach the TF-901 LCD instrument (with integrated throttle grips) to the handlebars of your scooter or e-bike. Ensure it is positioned for easy viewing and comfortable access to the throttle.
- Mount the Controller: Find a suitable, protected location for the DC48V 20A brushless controller. It should be protected from moisture and physical damage. Secure it firmly.
- Connect the LCD Instrument to the Controller: Locate the 6-pin interface cable from the TF-901 LCD and connect it to the corresponding port on the brushless controller. Ensure the connection is firm and fully seated.
- Connect Power: Connect the main power cables from the controller to your vehicle's DC48V battery. Pay close attention to polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative).
- Connect Motor: Connect the motor phase wires and Hall sensor wires from your brushless motor to the corresponding ports on the controller. Color-matching is typically required.
- Connect Brake Signal: Connect the brake lever signal wires to the controller. This allows the controller to cut power to the motor when brakes are applied.
- Connect Power Switch: Integrate the provided power switch into the main power circuit as instructed by your vehicle's wiring diagram or the controller's specific instructions.
- Secure Wiring: Route all cables neatly and secure them with cable ties to prevent them from snagging or getting damaged during operation.
