Chapter 1 Introduction

Overview

• The biggest difference is KLS-N is a waterproof type controller by default. It is IP66 rating. This manual introduces the Kelly sinusoidal wave brushless BLDC 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 motorcycles, golf carts and go-carts, as well as industrial motor control. It is mainly supposed to solve noise problems of BLDC motor driving application. The KLS-N motor controller must be based on hall sensors type. KLS-N controller can not support sensor less brushes motor for now. Compared to the traditional trapezoidal waveform control technology, this technique based on sinusoidal wave driving technology can reduce the operation noise and 1/3 switching loss, which well meets the noise reduction and efficiency requirements in the application of DC brushless motor. It uses high power MOSFET’s and, SVPWM and FOC 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. People can program the KLS controller on PC software and Android App. There is one more choice for customers to program KLS controller now. The APP software is based on Tablet with Android OS. Customers may add a Z-TEK USB to RS232 cable for programming KLS controller if they want to use Android Tablet.
• Both PC software and Android APP can provide one screen to monitor the controller parameters. Sometimes people can use a small Android Tablet as display device. Customers can connect the KLS controller to Android App in Android Phone if they order Bluetooth converter from Kelly Controls.
• KLS-N has a friendly I/O terminals for customers to hook up the batteries and motor easily.
• Anyway please try to do identification angle operation before running the motor.
• And please don’t try to connect the controller to user program while the motor is still running, let alone change the setting in user program or Android App. That is to say, if you want to connect controller to user program or try to do programming, please stop the motor first.
• This is the most important thing.

Chapter 3 Wiring and Installation

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. Applying silicon grease or some other thermal conductive material to contact surface will enhance thermal performance.
• Proper heat sinking and airflow are vital to achieve the full power capability of the controller. The case outline and mounting holes’ dimensions are shown below.

Pin definition of KLS-N Controller

1. The switch signal is valid to 12V
2. 12V only can be used for LED or switch signals.
3. Boost and brake analog regen use the same port on pin2.
4. CAN bus is not included in KLS-N controller by default.
   When boost is disabled in user program，pin2 is used as brake analog regen mode. When boost is enable，pin2 is used for boost function. You may not use two functions at the same time.

Caution:

• Do not apply power until you are certain the controller wiring is correct and has been double checked. Wiring faults will damage the controller.
• Ensure that the B- wiring is securely and properly connected before applying power.
• The preferred connection of the system contactor or circuit breaker is in series with the B+ line.
• All contactors or circuit breakers in the B+ line must have recharge resistors across their contacts. Lack of even one of these recharge resistors may severely damage the controller at switch-on.

Standard Wiring of KLS-N Controller

Figure 11: KLS-N controller standard wiring
(Battery voltage can be used for controller supply)

Optional wiring of KLS-N controller
The 12V input signal of the pin supplies the second braking function of the controller.

NOTE: KLS controller can support KTY84-130/150 and KTY83-122 thermistors.

Communication Port
A 4pin connector to RS232 port is provided to communicate with host computer for calibration and configuration.

Installation Check List
Before operating the vehicle, complete the following checkout procedure. Use buzzer 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 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 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 power.

Chapter 4 Programmable Parameters

• KLS Configuration program allow users to set parameters according to the vehicle actual working environment so as to be at its best.

• The default parameters of the controller are not recommended for all applications. Make sure set the proper parameters before making any test to avoid danger.
  Customers can do program on PC software or Android App. The Android Tablet is preferred. First of all, people need to do Identification angle function for KLS controller before running the motor. The controller needs to be connected to batteries, motor and throttle before Identification operation. That is to say, it is not enough to connect only power supply(PWR=pin7) to batteries for Identification Angle operation.

• Please download the instruction how to use Identification angle function from our website. www.kellycontroller.com/support.php

Step 1

1. Low Volt: The min voltage of reporting this fault – Range 20~86, depending on model. Controller will not operate when battery voltage is near the value so as to protect battery. Suggestion: Set according to the practical situation.
2. Over Volt: The max voltage of reporting this fault – Range 20~86, depending on model. Controller will not operate when battery voltage is higher than the value so as to protect battery and controller.
3. Suggestion: Set according to the practical situation.
4. By default, It is 86V for 72V controller.
   Controller Rated voltage| Under Voltage Range (V)| Over Voltage Range(V)
   ---|---|---
   24V| 20~30| 20~30
   60V| 40~80| 40~80
   72V| 40~86| 40~86

Figure 4.1

3. Current Percent: Phase Current Percent. Range: 20~100

4. Functional description: The max motor current is (The Value * Peak Current of the Controller).

5. Suggestion: Factory default is 100%.

6. Battery Limit : Battery Limit Current, Limit the max value of Battery Current.

7. Range: 20~100

8. Functional description: Set max battery current so as to protect battery. A lower value means a lower battery output current and better protective effect. But excessively low value will affect acceleration.

9. Suggestion: Factory default is 100%.

10. Identification Angle : Please download the instruction to how to use Identification angle function from the website.
    www.kellycontroller.com/support.php
    If you can read 85 in Identification Angle item, that is to say, the system is stable and normal. Please fill in 170 for Identification Angle item in user program. Then
    please click Write button in user program. Please wait a few seconds before restart the power supply. You will see some info on Monitor screen after power supply is
    reset. If you see Reset error on the Monitor screen, that is to say, the auto_Identification is finished. You can see 85 in the Identification Angle item again. And the controller will
    blink error code. This is normal. Please reset the power supply again. Then everything will be fine. The motor is ready to be derived by the KLS controller.
    Range : 85 or 170, nothing else.

11. TPS Low Err: Hall active pedal, if lower than the value, report the fault of TPS Type. Range: 0~20

12. TPS High Err: Hall active pedal, if higher than the value, report the fault of TPS Type. Range: 80~100

13. As you may know, the output of hall throttle from Kelly is about from 0.86V to 4.2V.

14. Our controller will report 3.3 error code if the output of hall throttle is below 0.5V or above 4.5V by default.

15. The controller will think the hall throttle is shorted or damaged if the output is beyond the range from 0.5V to 4.5V.

16. You can adjust the threshold voltage below or above 0.5V.The controller will report the 3.3 code to protect the system according to different types of hall throttle.

17. Because there are many different hall throttle suppliers in the world. The initial output can not be always in the range of 0.5V to 4.5V.

18. But it doesn’t make any differences if you choose 0-5V or 3-wire pot for the throttle type. That is to say, these two settings are only useful for hall active throttle or pedal when you chose throttle type at 2.

19. As the same goes, it is valid to adjust the high threshold voltage above 4.5V or below 4.5V. Usually the hall output voltage is 4.2V Max. If you adjust it to lower value which is near 4.2V,it may trigger the error code in normal way.

20. TPS Type: TPS Type, 1:0-5V 3-wire 0-5K pot,5K is normal,2K-20K can be used;2:Hall active throttle or pedal. Range: 1~2

21. TPS Dead Low: TPS Dead Zone Low. Range: 5~40

22. Functional description: Set throttle effective starting point

Range: 20~100 By default, it is set at 100%.Both F-N-R control and three speed function used the same pin12.Needless to say, we can not use both functions at the same time. Three Gears switch is supposed to enable F-N-R control. When this item is disabled, we can use three speed function, vice versa.

41. Pin22 is low speed switch input port while Pin12 is high speed switch input port. When both pin22 and pin12 are disconnected from pin11,the controller is driving with medium speed mode.

42. Three speed: This item is used to enable or disable three speed function. By default, it is at 0 0:Three speed function is disabled.1:Two speed function.2:Three speed function is enabled.

43. PWM Frequency: Frequency of PWM operation. Unit: KHz

44. Functional description: 20KHz is better for hub motor with strict quiet control.

45. Suggestion: Set according to the practical situation, factory default is 20KHz.Please don’t set it 20KHz above.

55. NTL H-Pedal: Neutral position High Pedal Disable. Only useful when Three gears switch function is enabled.
    If enable, the controller will detect the current pedal position or signal When the switch is in neutral position.
    If the throttle got effective output signal, the controller will not operate and report fault code. Suggestion: Set according to the practical situation, factory default is Disable.

56. Joystick function:

57. If enable, the controller can drive the motor on two directions without using any reversing switch.

58. Just one single throttle can drive the motor on forward and reversing direction.

59. The stick shift throttle firmware can be called wig-wag or joystick operation. It is only a software function. Usually It is useful for electric boat project. You still can use the common 0-5K pot or 0-5V throttle for the controller. If you don’t choose the joystick, you operated the throttle in this way. The motor speed will increase when the throttle is from 0V to 5V.

60. If you enable joystick for this controller in user program, you will start the motor from 2.5V position.2.6V to 5V is forward.2.4V to 0V is backward.

61. 2.4V to 2.6V is the throttle dead zone. Customers can adjust the throttle dead zone in user program also.

62. Please note the common throttle will spring back to original position if you release the throttle. Suggestion: factory default is Disable.

63. Three Gears switch : It is used for function of F-N-R control.

When controller temp item shows 246 in monitor screen of user program, it is normal. This item is only useful for internal calculation for MCU.246 is about 11 degrees in environment.

How to use Identification angle operation function

• We must do Identification angle operation before running motor for all KLS controllers. The Identification angle operation can be done in PC program or Android App(Tablet or Cell Phone).
• KLS-N/M controller is designed for BLDC motor with three hall sensors. By default, the speed sensor type is set at 2 from factory setting for KLS-M controller.

1. Please hook up the controller for identification angle operation according to the wiring diagram below. Please make sure there is no load on the motor shaft before starting the programming.

2. Please connect the controller to user program by using an USB to RS232 cable and SM-4A DB9(RS232) Converter.

3. Customers also can use a Z-TEK USB to RS232 cable and SM-4A DB9(RS232) Converter to connect the controller to an Android Tablet.

4. The third option is customers can buy our Bluetooth converter to connect the controller to Android Phone. We don’t have to use SM-4A to DB9(RS232) converter any more when you use Bluetooth converter for programming the controller.

5. Please download the controller user program from our website for free.
   www.kellycontroller.com/support.php
   Please install the user program in your computer, Tablet or Phone.

6. Please turn on the key switch so that the controller can get power supply from B+/B- and Pin7.Please try to open the user program in your computer or other devices. Then you may try to click Read button in user program or App. You will see the first picture of user program. Please check whether the Identification Angle item is at 85 or not. It is correct if identification angle item is at 85.But customers still need to run identification angle operation before driving. Because the 85 means this controller finished the identification angle operation with the motor in factory before shipment. Your motor is different from the motor from controller supplier.

7. Please fill 170 in the identification angle item. And please click the write button. The user program will give a pop-up window which show the Write operation is successful. Please quit from the user program. Please turn off the power supply.

8. Please turn on the power supply after the power supply is off for a few seconds. The motor shaft will try to run on directions randomly. It is normal because the controller is doing Identification angle operation.

9. Please wait about 2-3 minutes.

10. If the identification angle operation is finished, The beeper will beep an error code 3-2.And you will see reset error message in the monitor screen of user program. You can see the error message in monitor screen of user program for KLS-N controller also.

11. Please turn off the power supply again. Please wait about a few seconds to turn on the power supply one more time.

12. Please try to connect the controller to user program again. You will see 85 in the identification angle item. That is to say, the controller identification angle operation is successful. You can use the KLS-N/M controller to drive the motor now.

13. As long as it is not reset error code, the value in identification angle will not go back to 85.The value is always at 170.That is to say, the controller is still in the processing of identification operation.

14. Please don’t try to write 85 in the identification angle or reset the power supply if you don’t see any error codes.

15. If the constant beep sound lasts above 5 minters and there are other error codes such as Identify error, hall err etc, please return to the first picture of user program. Please write 85 instead in identification angle by manual.

16. If there are no any error codes, you can not write it back to 85 by manual. Please wait longer time until the error codes occur.

17. Please don’t keep 170 in the identification angle item when you want to turn off the power supply.

18. Otherwise the controller will try to keep doing identification operation all the time as long as you turn on power supply again.

19. When the error codes occur, please quit from user program. Please try again from step 6.

20. Please don’t keep 170 in identification angle item before power supply is turned on after the identification operation is successful.

21. If the direction of the motor is not what you expected, please don’t try to do Identification angle operation again. You just need to enable Change Direction item in the first picture of user program. Please click Write Button and reset the power supply to activate the setting. Then the motor will run on the expected direction.

Chapter 5 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.

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, resistor 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 with a moist rag. Make sure that the controller 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.

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

• Disconnect motor wiring from controller for configuring existing parameters in the user program or Android APP. If this operation is too much extra job for you, please make sure the motor must be stopped before programming.
• The controller may display fault code, but it doesn’t affect programming or configuration. But it will affect the Identification angle operation. Please try to eliminate the error codes before Identification angle operation.
• Use a straight through RS232 cable or USB converter provided by Kelly to connect to a host computer. Provide >+18V to PWR（for a 24V controller, provide >+8V）. Wire power supply return(supply negative) to any RTN pin.
• KLS controller requires a 4pin connector to Kelly RS232 Converter to support the communication. And customers may need a Z-TEK USB cable for Tablet with Android OS.

Customers may download PC software or Android APP to program the controller before running the motor. You may do Identification angle for brushless motor with hall sensors after running the software or Android APP. Every item in the configuration program can show the explanation automatically when you click it.

Caution :

• Make certain that the motor is connected before trying to run Identification angle function in the configuration software. The controller needs to be connected to batteries, motor and throttle before Identification operation. That is to say, it is not enough to connect only power supply(PWR=pin7) to batteries for Identification Angle operation.
• 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.
• Please try to use Identify function for motor and hall sensors in the user program
