Hi All
I have purchased a replacement controller for my wife's 36V brushed motor Powabyke.
The photo in ebay showed a distinctive controller model number for which I easily found a manual online. Unfortunately the controller that arrived, while labelled as 36V 500W (what I want) is a rather anonymous "Model B" - not what was shown on ebay. To make matters worse, only 4 of the 10 connectors are labelled in English!
Rather that send it straight back I wondered if anyone might know this type of controller and offer any advice in identifying the connectors...
1. Thick red/black. No label. Probably battery connection?
2. Thick yellow/blue. No label. Probably motor?
3. Red/black/green. Labelled "derailleur". I'm fairly sure this is the throttle.
4. Red/black. Labelled "charger".
5. Blue/blue. Labelled "lock".
6. Red/black. Labelled "battery capacity".
7. Red/black/yellow. Labelled only in Chinese.
8, 9, 10. Three identical connectors, all black/green. No labels.
Any thoughts about 7, 8, 9 & 10?
A Taiwanese colleague has tried to translate the Chinese label on 7 and came up with "double (or parallel) speed" or "dual range". The connector has 3 wires, so I wondered if it might be a Hall sensor for the crank although that doesn't really fit with the translation. Any ideas?
As for 8, 9 & 10 - I thought maybe front and rear lights and on/off switch. Or perhaps switches from front and rear brake (plus something else) to cut the motor when braking..?
One further question - can you identify the types of connectors and suggest where I can get matching ones in the UK as (of course) they don't match the existing wiring!
Thanks in advance.
