Terminal Connection

Connection method:
①Connecting the lock motor
②Connecting the relay
①Connecting the lock motor
②Connecting the relay
- The red positive pole is connected to the battery positive pole (+), and the black negative pole is connected to the battery negative pole (-).
- The power input line interface is connected to the positive and negative pole interface of the power supply (the positive and negative poles cannot be reversed)
- ACC line connected to ACC line on vehicle
- Yellow wire connected relay cuts off oil power or locks motor
Oil and electricity disconnection wiring method 1:
- Find out the “speed control handle control line”. The method: “speed control handle control line” is generally green or white, on the 4Pin connector of the controller.
- Measure the voltage of the speed control handle line with a multimeter. The voltage of the control line of the speed control handle is 0.8V by default (in the static positive state when ACC is on). When the speed control handle is adjusted to the highest speed, it is about 4.3v-5v.
- Change the speed control line into 2 lines.
- Connect the two lines of the cut speed control line to the two lines of the normally closed end of the relay.
Remarks: the oil and electricity cut-off function must be equipped with a relay specified by the manufacturer (it is recommended that electric vehicles use a 5V relay specified by the manufacturer, and automobiles use a 12V relay specified by the manufacturer)
Lock motor wiring method 2:
Adjust the multimeter to the DC voltage of 200V, connect the black pen to the negative pole of the battery, and the red pen to the controller line one by one. If the voltage is displayed as a line of 3~5v, it is judged to be a locked motor line, which can be connected with the yellow line.
