PAS sensor acting weird?

Hi,

I just replaced my old controller with a new Brainpower controller with throttle and LH100 screen on my bike. Everything is working fine, except for PAS.

I followed all the tips I could find about settings in the LCD screen, set to 12 magnets, PAS on, tried reversing the pedals etc, to no avail.

By accident i tried to move the pedals back and forth like a quarter of a turn a few times, and the motor started to run. The faster I go back and forth, the faster the motor is running.

Do you have any idea what the problem could be?

Links to what I have:

Could be the distance between the magnets and sensor. Can you post a
Pic of your installation?

I have already tried to press the sensor all the way up to the magnets, with a like 1mm gap between them, and it did not change anything.
Also, when I connect my old controller, everything is working fine again.

Then a pic of the wiring and connectors for the PAS may help.
 
Sure, I have taken a few pictures. Forgot to mention that the throttle is working fine.

Sensor pickup can be directional . When you go back and forth with the pedal, and the motor works , it could be activating on the reverse stroke. If so , remove the 2 screws that hold the sensor to the mounting ring. Turn the sensor and wire 1/2 turn , and remount it .
 
Stupid question, but doesn't it give the same result as reversing the pedals all the time? :oops:
 
Even though it's likely that the red and black wires from the controller are +5V and GND, I'd check them with your voltmeter. Did you do any re-ordering of the wires to the connectors or just plug the PAS in?
 
I had to switch the red and blue color from the controller, so the blue color is in the middle now.
I can measure 4.4V between red and gnd. Does it have to be +5V?

No, +4.4V sounds right. Still could be the wiring order, but not as likely.
 
I also just measured the PAS connection on the old controller, and it's 4.8v between red and black, so I guess the wiring is correct as they are placed identically as the new controller.

Also, the sensor is flashing red when i peddle forward at each magnet, and constantly lighting up when reversing if that's of any help.
 
I have tried both 1 and 24. 1 seems to be the most sentitive, so that's where it is now.
I bought a new sensor and magnet wheel today, and it's doing the same, so it's the controller, or somewhere in settings I guess
 
Hello,
Pedaling backwards and everything should work.
If so, swap magnetic orientation from Disk or install PAS System on other Side.

No, pedaling backwards does not work. Whatever direction I pedal continuously does not work. I have to let the magnet move from left to right, and then from right to left over the sensor in a steady pace all the time to get my motor to start, just like when you paint a little piece of wood.

Yes, it's very weird :(
 
Hello,
Wrong Sensor? XLD cannot handle any Type of DoubleHall Sensor, i.E. KT V12.
Try with a Standard 5-8 Magnets PAS Sytem.

mfg Martin
 
Oh, so my 8 year old controller can do that, but not a brand new one.
Guess it's a really bad controller I found on Amazon. At least they could write about the compatibility stuff, so people don't waste time with this nonsense :(

Anyway, thanks for all your replies, I will try to find a 5 magnet one.
 
So looking for a new sensor, but they don't really write whether it's single or dual hall.
Can I safely find a 5 or 8 magnet and assume it's single, or can they be dual as well?
