5.1. General Wiring Principles

1. Identify Wires: The included wiring harness will have various connectors, typically color-coded, for different functions (e.g., motor phase wires, Hall sensor wires, battery power, throttle, brake levers, display, PAS sensor). Refer to your electric bike's existing wiring diagram or the controller's specific wire functions (if provided separately).
2. Battery Connection: Connect the main positive (+) and negative (-) wires from your battery to the corresponding terminals on the controller. Ensure correct polarity.
3. Motor Connection: Connect the three phase wires (typically green, blue, yellow) from the controller to the motor. Connect the Hall sensor wires (usually a small 5-wire connector) from the controller to the motor's Hall sensor port.
4. Throttle Connection: Connect the throttle unit to the designated throttle port on the controller.
5. Brake Lever Connections: Connect the brake lever cut-off switches (if applicable) to the controller. These typically cut power to the motor when brakes are applied.
6. Display/PAS Sensor: Connect any display unit or Pedal Assist Sensor (PAS) according to their respective wiring instructions.
7. Secure Connections: Ensure all connections are tight, secure, and properly insulated to prevent accidental disconnections or short circuits.

Warning: Incorrect wiring can damage the controller, motor, battery, or pose a fire hazard. Always double-check connections before applying power.

6. Operating Instructions

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

1. Power On: Turn on your electric bike's battery and/or main power switch. The controller should initialize, and if a display is connected, it should power on.
2. Throttle/PAS Activation: Gently engage the throttle or begin pedaling (if using a PAS sensor) to activate the motor. The motor should respond smoothly and quietly.
3. Brake Test: Test the brake levers to ensure the motor power cuts off immediately when brakes are applied.
4. Monitor Performance: Pay attention to any unusual noises, smells, or erratic behavior during initial operation. If any issues arise, immediately power off the system and refer to the troubleshooting section.

7. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your controller, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect all wiring connections for signs of wear, corrosion, or looseness. Tighten or replace as necessary.
• Cleanliness: Keep the controller clean and free from dust, dirt, and debris. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Do not use water or harsh chemicals.
• Environmental Protection: Ensure the controller remains protected from direct exposure to heavy rain, snow, or extreme heat. While designed for outdoor use, excessive exposure can reduce lifespan.
• Ventilation: Ensure the controller's heat sink (visible fins on the casing) is not obstructed to allow for proper heat dissipation.
