Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your EM50SP controller. Follow these general guidelines:
- Mounting: Securely mount the controller in a location that provides adequate ventilation and protection from physical damage and direct water exposure, despite its IP67 rating. Use the provided screws for mounting.
- Wiring: Connect the main power cables (battery positive and negative) to the designated terminals on the controller. Ensure correct polarity.
- Motor Connections: Connect the motor phase wires (U, V, W) and Hall sensor wires to the corresponding ports on the controller using the provided wiring harnesses.
- Accessory Connections: Connect other necessary components such as the throttle, brake levers, ignition switch, and any additional features (e.g., anti-theft, parking) according to your vehicle's wiring diagram and the controller's specific pinout.
- PC Programming (Optional): For advanced configuration and customization of motion settings, connect the controller to a PC using the appropriate interface cable and software. Refer to the software manual for detailed programming instructions.
Note: Specific wiring diagrams for your motor and vehicle setup may vary. Consult your vehicle's manufacturer manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about any connections.

Operating Instructions
Once the controller is correctly installed and all connections are verified, follow these steps to operate your electric vehicle:
- Power On: Turn on the ignition switch of your electric vehicle. The controller will perform a self-check.
- Throttle Control: Gently apply the throttle to initiate motor movement. The controller will regulate power delivery based on throttle input.
- Braking: Engage the brake levers to activate the braking function. The controller supports regenerative braking if configured.
- Reverse Function: If enabled and connected, activate the reverse switch for backward movement. Exercise caution when operating in reverse.
- Anti-Theft/Parking: Utilize any configured anti-theft or parking features as per your custom settings.
Note: Always start with low throttle input to familiarize yourself with the vehicle's response.
