NEVER RESOLVED - used different controller
Xlyte users, I need some help. Please review the following and tell me what am i missing.
This is an install for a friend/client who could not get this setup to work. Now it is in my hands I can't get it to work either, that's rather embarrassing. This is not the 1st xlyte kit I've installed but have not had my hands on an xlyte controller for a few yrs so maybe something has changed as I am not getting a signal to the motor. Unfortunately, no access to the supplier whoever that is or I would have asked them.
Kit is a new xlyte 408 & new 48v 40a xlyte controller
Problem is with the controller - no motor signal, it is as if the ebrake is engaged.
In fact, i have 2 of the same controller and both are doing the same thing - nothing to the motor (which tested good).
Controllers powers up and throttle voltages are good. I tested both controllers with 2 separate motor/controller testers and only center light flashes which means i have power to the halls. Using the throttle is should illuminate 2 lights that rotate which is not happening. (tested the testers, they work) Used various jumper wires combinations on brakes and pas with luck. Also tested low & high side fets and they are good too.
Confirmed everything connected, is connected correctly. What is connected is the battery, hall wires, phase wires and throttle. Pic below shows additional leads, none of which should need to be connected to allow the controller to function (or so I believe). So what am I missing?
Thx in advance for any advice posted or PMed.
