Hi all,
I just hooked up my Mac 536hf motor to the Kelly KBS48101X controller.
Initally I was over the moon to see the motor start spinning, however, I have a problem...
Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3fi_ggXLK8
The motor seems fine when spinning in one direction, but struggles to spin in the opposite direction.
Even worse, part way through this video, a warning light comes on the controller, and then although you don't see it, smoke starts to come out of the motor! Eek!
As I was recording, I quickly disconnected the battery and tried to film the smoke but the camera didn't pick it up. The motor housing is really hot to the touch, and the cables are quite warm too. I haven't opened it up or tried to power it on again to see if any permanent damage has been done.
Looking in the manual, the flashing red LED translates to error "Motor did not start - Motor did not reach 25 electrical rpm within 2 seconds start-up. Hall sensor or phase wiring problem".
However, I've checked the wiring diagrams for both the controller and the motor and it seems to be correct.
Any suggestions?
