« on: August 10, 2009, 04:47:10 PM »
Hi everyone.. :)

i hope someone can help me! I have this standard 36V 250W controller:

1. I know "G" or "F" is for the pedelec-sensor.. but which one??
exactly the same plug! both fit!?? so why are there two pedelec-plugs on this controller?
could I burn the controller if I plug it to the wrong connector??

2. will the motor work without battery indicator (i have watt's up.. don't need both) and without twist-throttle (not allowed in my country)?

thanks alot for helping me!

I would suggest the throttle and pedelec device use the same type of input to send information to the speed controller and it should therefore make no difference which of the two connectors each control used.

I.E.  Black=0v, Red=+5v & Green will be somewhere between 0v and +5v (dependant upon the throttle position or pedal sensor output)

I would think that was very unlikely, otherwise different coloured wires and/or different connectors would have been used to prevent this.

Yes, It definitely will work without the battery indicator.

I would think the pedelec function should work OK without a throttle being attached.

Unless someone tells you otherwise, I would plug it in and spin the pedals with the chain disconnected and see if it works.

Don't forget to let us know how you get on. :)

Hi Alan,

thanks alot for your help.  :)
Throttle would be connected to connector "C"..
so there is still "G" and "F" left for the pedelec-sensor and "???"..
anyway... I will give it a try.

of course I will post some pics of my project soon..

thanks
