Proper wiring is crucial for the correct and safe operation of the BLDC motor controller. Refer to the wiring diagram below and follow the instructions carefully.

Sary 5: Detailed wiring diagram for the Walfront BLDC Motor Controller. This diagram illustrates connections for power (DC 12V-36V), motor three-phase wiring, Hall sensor wiring, and control signals (enable, speed potentiometer, reverse switch).

5.1 Fampifandraisana herinaratra

• Connect your DC 12V-36V power supply to the designated power input terminals on the board. Ensure correct polarity (+ and -).

5.2 Wiring maotera

• Connect the three-phase wires of your brushless DC motor to the U, V, W output terminals on the controller board.
• If your motor has Hall sensors, connect the Hall sensor wires (Ha, Hb, Hc) and their corresponding 5V and GND wires to the Hall sensor input terminals on the controller.

5.3 Control Port Connections

• Enable Switch: Connect an enable switch. Connecting 5V to this pin enables operation, and connecting to GND stops operation.
• Fanaraha-maso ny hafainganam-pandeha: Use a 10K-100K potentiometer for speed control. Alternatively, an analog voltage input (0.1V-5V) or PWM signal can be used.
• Mihodina mivadika: Connect a reverse switch. Connecting 5V to this pin sets one direction, and connecting to GND sets the opposite direction.

6. Torolàlana miasa

Once all connections are securely made and verified, you can proceed with operating the motor controller.

• Herim-batana: Apply power to the controller within the specified voltageny (DC 12V-36V).
• Enable Motor: Ensure the enable switch is set to the 'ON' position (connected to 5V) to allow motor operation.
• Ahitsio hafainganam-pandeha: Use the connected potentiometer or provide the appropriate analog voltage/PWM signal to the speed control input to adjust the motor's rotational speed. The motor will accelerate to the set speed over approximately 3 seconds due to the soft-start feature.
• Hanova lalana: Toggle the reverse switch to change the motor's direction of rotation.
• Mamono hery: Disconnect the power supply to turn off the motor and controller.

7. Fikojakojana

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Walfront BLDC Motor Controller, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Madio hatrany: Regularly clean the board to remove dust and debris, which can affect heat dissipation and component performance. Use a soft, dry brush or compressed air.
• Jereo ny fifandraisana: Periodically check all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Loose connections can lead to intermittent operation or damage.
• Fanaraha-maso ny tontolo iainana: Operate and store the controller in a dry, well-ventilated environment within the specified temperature and humidity ranges.
• Aza adin-tsaina (Avoid Physical Stress): Do not bend or apply excessive force to the board or its components. Ensure proper mounting to prevent vibration-induced damage.

8. Famahana olana

If you encounter issues with your Walfront BLDC Motor Controller, refer to the following troubleshooting steps:

• Motor tsy mihodikodina:
  • Hamarino tsara fa mifandray tsara ny famatsiana herinaratra ary manome ny voltazy voafaritratage (12V-36V DC).
  • Check all motor phase wire connections (U, V, W) and Hall sensor connections (Ha, Hb, Hc, 5V, GND) for proper seating and continuity.
  • Ensure the enable switch is in the 'ON' position (connected to 5V).
  • Confirm that the speed control input is receiving a valid signal (0.1V-5V analog or PWM).
  • If using a Hall sensor motor, ensure the Hall sensors are functioning correctly. Some motors may vibrate instead of spinning if Hall sensor signals are incorrect or missing.
• Hafanana tafahoatra amin'ny mpanara-maso:
  • Ensure the motor current does not exceed 15A. Overloading the motor can cause excessive heat.
  • Verify that the motor is not stalled or experiencing excessive mechanical resistance.
  • Check for any short circuits in the motor wiring or on the board itself.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation around the controller. If possible, consider adding a heatsink if operating at high loads or ambient temperatures. Note: Some units may have uneven soldering on FETs, making heatsink attachment difficult.
• Erratic Motor Behavior:
  • Inspect all signal wires for interference or loose connections.
  • Ensure the control signals (speed, direction) are stable and within the specified ranges.
  • Verify that the motor's Hall sensors are correctly aligned and providing accurate feedback.
