4. Configuració i instal·lació

Proper installation is crucial for the safe and optimal performance of your electric vehicle. Please follow these guidelines carefully.

4.1 Wiring the Dual FSESC4.20 Plus

1. Connexions del motor: Connect your brushless motors to the motor phase wires (typically A, B, C or U, V, W) on the FSESC. Ensure correct phasing for smooth operation.
2. Connexió de la bateria: Connect your battery pack (3-13S LiPo, 8V-60V) to the main power input of the FSESC. The FSESC has an integrated anti-spark switch, so external anti-spark solutions are not strictly necessary but can be used for added protection.
3. Connexió del receptor: Connect the VX2 remote receiver module to the appropriate UART or PPM port on the FSESC using the provided cables. Refer to the FSESC port labels for correct orientation.
4. Connexions opcionals: If using additional accessories (e.g., lights, external BEC), connect them to the available ports as per your vehicle's design.

4.2 Pairing the VX2 Remote Control

The VX2 Remote Control and its receiver typically come pre-paired. If re-pairing is necessary:

1. Ensure the FSESC is powered on and the receiver is connected.
2. Turn on the VX2 Remote Control.
3. Follow the pairing instructions provided with the VX2 Remote, usually involving pressing a button on the receiver and then on the remote within a short timeframe.
4. Confirm successful pairing by checking the remote's OLED display for connection status and real-time data.

4.3 Initial Configuration (FSESC)

The FSESC requires configuration using VESC Tool software (available from VESC Project website) to match your specific motor and battery setup. This involves:

• Connecting the FSESC to your computer via the provided USB cable.
• Running the motor detection wizard in VESC Tool.
• Setting battery parameters (cell count, voltaglímits e).
• Configuring control modes (e.g., current control, duty cycle control).
• Adjusting braking and acceleration curves to your preference.

Always perform initial configuration and testing in a safe, controlled environment with the wheels off the ground.

5. Funcionament

5.1 VX2 Remote Control Functions

• Throttle Wheel: Controls acceleration and braking. Push forward for acceleration, pull back for braking.
• Botó de mode de velocitat: Cycle through 3 different speed modes (e.g., low, medium, high) to match your riding style and environment.
• Cruise Control Button: Activates/deactivates cruise control, maintaining a constant speed.
• Pantalla OLED: Provides real-time data such as speed, battery level (remote and vehicle), distance, and current.
• Power Indication Lights: Monitor the battery status of both the remote and your electric vehicle.

5.2 Engegada/apagada

1. Per encendre: Ensure all connections are secure. Press the power button on your electric vehicle (connected to the FSESC). Then, turn on the VX2 Remote Control.
2. Per apagar: First, turn off the VX2 Remote Control. Then, power off your electric vehicle.
