An Alltrax 4834 speed controller came with a ME0708 PM motor I bought (was supposed to be a ME0709)
I tested the motor (seems to work fine)
...& now, I'm trying to connect this controller
I downloaded the wiring diagram (even printed a few copies to draw on & make notes)
It seems pretty simple
...but, the diagram shows a "foot switch" incorporated in with the throttle
...& it's in the circuit between the key switch & the controllers KSI (tab #1) & also, the contactor
So, it looks like each time the accelerator is activated, this "foot switch" activates the contactor
...& also, turns the speed controller "on"
Then, each time the accelerator is released this "foot switch" deactivates the contactor
...& also, turns the speed controller "off"
Is this necessary?
* Also, the Alltrax AXE 4834 specifications say that these controllers are compatible with different throttle inputs
Throttle Input:
I'd like to use a simple 0-5V throttle
...but, it requires a 5V power supply
...so, I added a (48V to 5V) DC to DC convertor, to the diagram & the throttle too
(does this look correct?)
** Another also,
I notice on the diagram it says "* Note for motorcycle use: motor wires need to be 3' to 5' long. Coil extra wire into 4" loops & zip tie together."
What is this for/do/or help?

Throttle Input:
- ITS (inductive)
- Resistive 0-5K ohm (+/-10%) (2-wire and 3-Wire)
- Resistive 5K-0 ohm (+/-10%)
- 0-5Volt
- 6-10Volt
- 1 Green LED flash = 0-5 kohm resistive
- 2 Green LED flashes = 5K-0 ohm resistive
- 3 Green LED flashes = 0-5 Volt
- 4 Green LED flashes = EZ-GO inductive (ITS)
- 5 Green LED flashes = Yamaha 0-1K ohm resistive
- 6 Green LED flashes = Taylor-Dunn 6-10.5 Volt
- 7 Green LED flashes = ClubCar 5k-0 ohms, 3-wire throttle
