Chapter 1 Introduction

1.1 Overview
This manual introduces the Kelly KDZ Series/PM Motor controllers’ features, their installation and their maintenance. Read the manual carefully and thoroughly before using the controller. If you have any questions, please contact the support center of Kelly Controls.
Kelly’s programmable motor controllers provide efficient, smooth and quiet controls for electric vehicles like golf carts, go-carts, electric motorcycles, forklifts and hybrid vehicles, as well as electric boats and industrial motor speed control. It uses high power MOSFET’s and, fast PWM to achieve efficiencies of up to 99% in most cases. A powerful microprocessor brings in comprehensive and precise control to the controllers. It also allows users to adjust parameters, conduct tests, and obtain diagnostic information quickly and easily.

Chapter 2 Main Features and Specifications

2.1 General functions

1. Extended fault detection and protection. The LED flashing pattern indicates the fault sources.
2. Monitoring battery voltage. It will stop driving if the battery voltage is too high and it will progressively cut back motor drive power as battery voltage drops until it cuts out altogether at the preset “Low Battery Voltage” setting.
3. Built-in current loop and over current protection.
4. Configurable motor temperature protection range.
5. Current cutback at low temperature and high temperature to protect battery and controller. The current begins to ramp down at 90ﹾＣ(controller case temperature), shutting down at 100ﹾＣ.
6. The controller keeps monitoring battery recharging voltage during regenerative braking, progressively cutting back current as battery voltage rises then cutting off regen altogether when voltage goes too high.
7. Maximum reverse speed is configurable to half of the maximum forward speed.
8. Configurable and programmable with a host computer though RS232 or USB. Provide free GUI which can run on Windows XP/2000, Windows 7 and Vista(recommend using Kelly Standard USB To RS232 Converter).
9. Provision of a +5 volt output to supply various kinds of sensors, including Hall effect type.
10. Multifunctional and configurable 3 switch inputs: brake switch, reversing switch, throttle or forward switch. Active low.
11. 3 analog 0-5V inputs that default to throttle input, brake input and motor temperature input.
12. Pulsed reverse alarm output.
13. Maximum reverse power is configurable to half power.
14. Configurable motor over-temperature detection and protection with the recommended thermistor KTY84-130/150 or KTY83-122.
15. Optional 12V output power which can only be applied for Switch signals or LED. Any heavy load is inhibited.

Caution! Regeneration has braking effect but does not replace the function of a mechanical brake.
A mechanical brake is required to stop your vehicle. Regen IS NOT a safety feature! Controller may stop regen, without warning, to protect itself or the battery(it won’t protect you!).

Chapter 3 Wiring and Installation

3.1 Mounting the Controller
The controller can be oriented in any position which should be as clean and dry as possible, and if necessary, shielded with a cover to protect it from water and contaminants.
To ensure full rated output power, the controller should be fastened to a clean, flat metal surface with four screws. A thermal joint compound can be used to improve heat conduction from the case to the mounting surface. The case outline and mounting holes’ dimensions are shown in Figure 1 and 2.

Caution:

• RUNAWAYS — Some conditions could cause the vehicle to run out of control. Disconnect the motor, or jack up the vehicle, and get the drive wheels off the ground before attempting any work on the motor control circuitry.
• HIGH CURRENT ARCS — Electric vehicle batteries can supply very high power, and arcs can occur if they are short circuit. Always turn off the battery circuit before working on the motor control circuit. Wear safety glasses, and use properly insulated tools to prevent short circuit.

3.3 Installation Checklist
Before operating the vehicle, complete the following checkout procedures. Use LED code as a reference as listed in Table 1.

Caution:

• Put the vehicle up on blocks to get the drive wheels off the ground before beginning these tests.
• Do not allow anyone to stand directly in front of or behind the vehicle during the checkout.
• Make sure the PWR switch and the brake is off
• Use well-insulated tools.
• Make sure the wire is connected correctly.
• Turn the PWR switch on. The Green LED stay on steadily and Red LED turns off when the controller operates normally. If this does not happen, check continuity of the PWR and controller ground.
• The fault code will be detected automatically at restart.
• With the brake switch open, select a direction and operate the throttle. The motor should spin in the selected direction. Verify wiring or voltage and the fuse if it does not. The motor should run faster with increasing throttle. If not, refer to the Table 1 LED code, and correct the fault as determined by the fault code.
• Take the vehicle off the blocks and drive it in a clear area. It should have smooth acceleration and good top speed.

Chapter 4 Maintenance

There are no user-serviceable parts inside the controllers. Do not attempt to open the controller as this will void your warranty. However, periodic, exterior cleaning of the controller should be carried out.
The controller is a high powered device. When working with any battery powered vehicle, proper safety precautions should be taken that include, but are not limited to, proper training, wearing eye protection, avoidance of loose clothing, hair and jewelry. Always use insulated tools.

4.1 Cleaning
Although the controller requires virtually no maintenance after properly installation, the following minor maintenance is recommended in certain applications.

• Remove power by disconnecting the battery, starting with battery positive.
• Discharge the capacitors in the controller by connecting a load (such as a contactor coil or a horn) across the controller’s B+ and B- terminals.
• Remove any dirt or corrosion from the bus bar area. The controller should be wiped down with a moist rag. Make sure it is dry before reconnecting the battery.
• Make sure the connections to the bus bars, if fitted, are tight. To avoid physically stressing the bus bars use two, well-insulated wrenches.

4.2 Configuration
You can configure the controller with a host computer through either an RS232 USB port.

• Disconnect motor wiring from controller.
• Do not connect B+, throttle and so on. The controller may display fault code in some conditions, but it doesn’t affect programming or configuration.
• Use a straight through RS232 cable or USB Converter provided by Kelly to connect to a host computer.
• Provide >+18V to PWR (either J2 pin1). Wire power supply return to any RTN pin.

Download the free configuration software from：

Caution:

• Make certain that the motor is disconnected before trying to run the Configuration Software!
• Configuration software will be regularly updated and published on the website. Please Update your Configuration Software regularly. You must uninstall the older version
  before updating.
