Figure 2: Brushless Motor Controller Wiring Diagram

This diagram illustrates the various color-coded wires and their corresponding functions for connecting the brushless motor controller to an electric bike or scooter system.

Wiring Connections:

1. Power (Thick Red/Black Wires): Connect the thick red wire to the positive (+) terminal of your battery and the thick black wire to the negative (-) terminal.
2. 3-Phase Line (Thick Yellow/Green/Blue Wires): Connect these three wires to the corresponding phase wires of your brushless motor. Ensure correct color matching (Yellow to Yellow, Green to Green, Blue to Blue).
3. Hall Sensor (Thin Red/Black/Yellow/Green/Blue Wires): Connect these wires to the Hall sensor wires of your brushless motor. The thin red wire is typically +5V, thin black is ground, and the others are signal wires.
4. Speed Throttle: Connect the throttle wires (typically red, black, green) to the speed throttle input.
5. Brake Signals (Low Potential Brake / High Potential Brake): Connect your brake levers' signal wires to these inputs. The controller supports both low and high potential brake signals.
6. Alarm Signal / Alarm Power: If your system includes an alarm, connect the alarm signal and power wires here.
7. Cruise Function: Connect wires for cruise control functionality if available on your system.
8. EABS Brake: Connect for Electronic Anti-lock Braking System functionality.
9. 3-Gears Switch: If your system has a multi-gear switch, connect it here.
10. 1:1 Assist (PAS - Pedal Assist System): Connect the pedal assist sensor wires to this input.
11. Intelligent Identification: This wire is used for automatic identification of motor parameters. Follow specific instructions for your motor if applicable.

Ensure all connections are firm and insulated to prevent short circuits. Double-check all wiring before applying power.

7. Operating Instructions

Once the controller is correctly installed and all connections are secure:

• Power On: Turn on the main power switch of your electric bike or scooter. The controller will initialize.
• Automatic Identification: The controller is designed to automatically identify the phrase angle and rated voltage of your electric bike. This process typically occurs upon initial power-up or when the motor is first engaged.
• Speed Control: Use the speed throttle to control the motor's speed. Apply the throttle gradually for smooth acceleration.
• Braking: Engage the brake levers to activate the braking function. The controller provides sensitive control for safe stopping.
• Direction Changes: The controller manages direction changes based on motor input and system design.
• Cruise Function (if connected): Activate the cruise function as per your bike's specific instructions to maintain a constant speed.
• Gear Switching (if connected): Utilize the 3-gears switch to select different power modes or speed limits.

Always operate your electric bike or scooter responsibly and in accordance with local regulations.

8. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your brushless motor controller:

• Keep Clean: Periodically wipe the controller's exterior with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Check Connections: Regularly inspect all wire connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion or damage. Loose connections can lead to intermittent operation or component failure.
• Heat Dissipation: Ensure the controller's aluminum casing is not obstructed, allowing for proper airflow and heat dissipation. Avoid covering the controller with insulating materials.
• Environmental Protection: Protect the controller from direct exposure to rain, snow, or extreme temperatures. While the casing offers protection, it is not fully waterproof.
• Avoid Overloading: Do not exceed the controller's rated power and current limits, as this can lead to overheating and permanent damage.

9. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your brushless motor controller, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, contact customer support or a qualified technician.

10. Warranty and Support
