When you first turn on the Fardriver, you may hear a series of beeps, this is
normal, the controller needs to be programmed to the new MOTOR and battery
that are being installed onto it, and auto learn needs to be completed after that .
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

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.
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

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.
