BASIC TUNING FOR FAR DRIVERS

POLE PAIRS (A)

Pole Pairs = Total Magnets Divided by Two. I.e.
MY1020 has 6 magnets = 3 Pole Pairs.
EC4P - 4 Pole Pairs
MOTOTEC Motors 48v 1600 w 4 Pole Pairs
MOST QS Mid Drive Motors -4 pole pairs*
NEW SOTION MOTOR - 5 pole pairs (full list below)
Hub Motors- always have a higher count of pole pairs, please check with your Hub manufacturer.
If you are unsure of your pole pairs, contact the Far Driver Tuning for Ebikes Group On Facebook for
further assistance.
TEMP SENSOR can be tested one at a time by validating on the graph , should be close to MOS Temp
B) Low VOL Protect:
Setting the voltage cut off of the battery into the far driver controller. In order to determine this we must look
at the batteries DISCHARGE CUT OFF VOLTAGE, usually the website or store the battery was purchased
from will have this information listed on the product information page.
Suggested Low Vol Protect
72v battery (63.1v suggested cut off)
60v battery (51.1v suggested cut off)
48v battery (39.1v suggested cut off)
C) MAX LINE CURR
MaxLineCurr: should equal the CONTINUOUS AMP discharge of the battery (not the peak). If set too
high, it may trigger the BMS over discharge protection which will make the battery go into shutdown mode if
drawing too many amps. **During the initial auto learn, restrict the max line current to MATCH the
motor specs**

***Max Speed Should be set to the motors limitations . 7000rpm is usually more than enough RPMs.

After setting these base parameters successfully HIT SAVE!Now you should be able to run and complete
an auto learn On the next page!

Auto Learn Tips!

Auto Learn determines the RATED SPEED and Phase Offset of the motor, while also auto adjusting the
throttle low voltage and throttle high voltage for the throttle inputs .

PREPARING FOR AUTO LEARN, taking the chain off for the auto-learn process on a mid drive motor is
highly recommended to reduce wear.
Alternatively
-Auto Learning with the chain ON can stretch the chain or stress the motor unnecessarily.

Please auto learn in a safe area where you can make sure the hub motor is secured properly off the ground
and the mid drive is safely mounted to the chassis of the frame.

In Order to start auto learn we need to first go to the GRAPH PAGE and then select AUTO-LEARN Button
on the bottom and hit YES, to enter the auto learn cycle.
When entering auto learn if you engage the throttle and the motor doesn't spin or just make a
weirds whine sound, let off the throttle and try again!

Once we hear the controller start beeping this means we can twist the throttle to half throttle or more to
initiate the auto learn process(FULL THROTTLE also works too)
The MOTOR WILL SPIN DURING AUTO LEARN.
,While holding the throttle during the auto learn process the motor will spin at varying speeds and
eventually change spinning directions to determine the motors unique Phase Angle..
DON'T LET GET OF THE THROTTLE DURING AUTO LEARN unless, the motor stops spinning
completely AND you see THROTTLE ERROR on the Bottom of the page.
Once we let go of the throttle , the error code should go away and at the bottom of the graph page will say
SYSTEM OK.

Once we are done Auto Learning the controller to the motor we can lightly road test the bike and make sure
its not HEATING up the MOS Temp or Giving any other errors.
You may need to readjust your throttle low and high after auto learn .
Typically it's wise to go 0.10v-0.15v over the resting throttle voltage to eliminate dead space.

Errors and Beep Codes from a Fardriver.

When the controller is turned on normally -2 beeps
The controller will tell you what errors its having by making a series of beeps.
Sometimes as many as 3 different series of beep codes can be present. Pay close attention to the beeps.

Auto learn 2 short beeps –> 1 beep b-e-e-p- b-e-e-p- be-e-e-e-e-e-p

If there is a long beep, please check whether the brake and accelerator are effective at the same time.
With this function, you can check whether the brakes and accelerators are normal: You can have the motor
not accelerate when on the brakes,
BASIC FAULT CODES
ERROR NUMBER OF BEEPS TIPS FOR FIXING

1 MOTOR HALL FAULT
1 CHECK HALL SENSOR WIRES, IF All Wires are
connected properly and the fault still is present the
MOTOR HALL SENSORS may need to be replaced.
Commonly happens when running the Motor with the
wrong pole pairs set
Goto LONESTARELECTREK.COM for quality
replacement hall sensors and hybrid ceramic
bearings .

THROTTLE FAIL -2 Usually means the throttle has failed to operate.

If there are 2 short beeps, pause , and then a short beep, repeating. It means that the controller program
verification has failed. In this case, check you are using the latest version of the app which can be found at
the end of this guide.

If there are 4 short beeps, 1 long beep, and 5 short beeps, repeating,software applied via update does not
match the controller. Please check if the proper files were applied and are consistent with the model on the
controller label.
