4. Setup and Installation

Careful installation is crucial for the proper functioning of the motor controller. Follow these steps to connect the controller to your electric bike or scooter system.

Wiring Diagram and Connections:

Figure 4.1: Detailed wiring diagram showing the various connectors and their functions. Ensure each connection matches the corresponding component on your electric bike/scooter.

1. Battery (2-pin): Connect the main power cable from your 36V or 48V lithium battery to this connector. Ensure correct polarity.
2. Phase Line (3-pin): Connect the three phase wires from your brushless DC motor to these terminals. These are typically thicker wires.
3. Hall Line (6-pin): Connect the Hall sensor wires from your motor to this connector. These provide feedback on motor position.
4. Throttle (3-pin): Connect your throttle assembly to this connector. This controls the motor speed.
5. E-brake (2-pin): Connect your electronic brake levers to this connector. This will cut power to the motor when brakes are applied.
6. Display (5-pin): Connect your display unit to this connector. This provides information such as speed, battery level, and mode.
7. Light (2-pin): If your system includes a light, connect it here.
8. PAS (Pedal Assist System) (3-pin): Connect your PAS sensor to this connector. This allows the motor to assist when pedaling.

Important Note: The controller requires an instrument that uses the Model 2 communication protocol. Ensure your display unit is compatible to avoid operational issues.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the controller is correctly installed and all connections are secure, you can begin operating your electric bike or scooter.

• Power On: Turn on the main power switch of your electric bike/scooter battery. The display unit should illuminate.
• Throttle Control: Gently twist the throttle to engage the motor. The motor speed will increase with further throttle input.
• Pedal Assist: If equipped with a PAS, pedaling will activate motor assistance, providing power based on your pedaling effort and the selected assist level on your display.
• Braking: Applying the brake levers will cut power to the motor, ensuring safe stopping.
• Power Off: Always turn off the main power switch after use to conserve battery life and ensure safety.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your DC motor controller.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the controller with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or immerse in water.
• Connection Check: Regularly inspect all wire connections to ensure they are tight and free from corrosion or damage. Loose connections can lead to intermittent power or component failure.
• Heat Dissipation: Ensure the controller's housing is free from obstructions to allow for proper airflow and heat dissipation. Avoid covering the controller during operation.
• Cable Management: Keep all cables neatly routed and secured to prevent snagging or damage during riding.
