Kelly controller with GM hub motor
« on: February 14, 2010, 05:09:14 AM »
Hi,

I recently bought a Kelly controller KBS-model. It doesn't work with any of my GM motors (36/500 and 48/1000), they are silent. The motor doesn't even 'jerk' as it normally does when you accidently swap a hall or motor phase lead. 

The controller has a LED error communication system which is working (I can provoce an error code) that doesn't report any errors. I suspect this might be an issue of hall effect sensor compatibility?

Does anyone have experience running their GM with a Kelly controller?

Many thanks/Mattias

Is there actually anyone out there who runs a GM e-bike hubmotor with a Kelly? Let's hear some success stories, for the sake of encouragement.

Buyed a Kelly KBS72121 today (2012/08/11)!

Don't know how to connect the phase wires to my HBS-48...

The Kelly has no "learn mode"...

Here you go.  Combinations...... Print out and tick n cross off as you go...  http://www24.brinkster.com/lyen/product/controller/Sensored_Combination_Worksheet_V2.htm

A cycle analyst or a cheap chinese watt meter would come in handy so when you twist the throttle(lightly) with no load you can measure the Amps.You want to get a reading of maybe 3.5 or under if possible and of course the motor needs to sound smooth and quite, not rough and loud.
Please anyone correct me if I am wrong!

You probably know this, but I hope the combination list is helpful.
