I have purchased a KLS6035S Kelly controller and am having a bit of trouble hooking it up to my Curtis PB-8. This is my fist foray in to the world of electric vehicles and I am learning as I go. I have come a long way but still a way to go yet and would very much appreciate some advice.
A little background on the project... I am repowering a small sailboat with a 5KW BLDC motor. The setup is pretty basic and very much like a golf cart.
Where I am stuck at the moment is how to wire up the PB-8 to the Kelly controller. The diagram provided with the Kelly controller is pretty straightforward and tells me that the three wire pot should be connected thusly...
purple wire.) 5V supply output
green wire.) Throttle analog input, 0-5V
black wire.) Signal return
Not counting the micro switch, the PB-8 has three wires and they are white, red and black which finally brings me to my question...
How do I tell which wires on the PB-8 are the supply output, throttle input and signal return? Also if relevant, reversing will be handled electronically. The PB-8 is unidirectional (does that make sense) and should just control the rpms of the motor from off to 100%
