Battery

The controller itself has a short pair of + and – power leads which would be terminated to match the plugs on the battery pack. Depending on your battery these may be flat spade connectors with 4 or 5 contacts, or round bullet terminals for power and small round pins for signals. Reention downtube batteries usually use a flat 4-pin terminal, while quite a number of plug types exist for the Hailong casings. If the baserunner is purchased with a battery pack we will install the mating terminals, while if it is purchased by itself then the user would be expected to solder the wire to the terminal already present in their existing battery cradle. 

Motor

The motor cable is 38 cm long and is terminated with either the Z910 HiGo style 9 pin waterproof plug or the L1019 10 pin plug. These connectors include the 3 phase wires, 5 hall wires, and one or two additional signal wires for temperature and wheel speed signals the CA3. The cable length is sufficient to reach from the downtube battery mount to the rear hub motor on most bicycle frames, but for front hub motors or extra long frames we have both 60cm and 90cm extension cables available too.

6 Pin PAS / Torque

A 6 Pin HiGo Mini-B or equivalent waterproof plug allows for direct hookup of a PAS or Torque sensor to the motor controller. The pin standard is compatible with the ERider torque sensors, and uses 12V rather than 5V for the power supply. This cable is not used or required when PAS or torque assist is handle via a Cycle Analyst, but it is used whith Superharness kits that have the pedal sensor plugged in directly to the motor controller.  

8 Pin Cycle Analyst (WP8)

The Baserunner is supplied with the waterproof 8 pin HiGo plug (WP8) for running the device under the control of a V3 Cycle Analyst. If the application requires connection to an older CA-DP plug, a WP8->JST adapter should be purchased here.

Main9 Cable

The V4 and later Baserunners also feature a 9 pin waterproof plug that brings out the cables commonly used in ebike wiring topologies with a main signal harness that splits out at the handlebar into throttle, ebrake, 3rd party display, and light connectors. Note that the signal called out as Ebrake (Blue) in this diagram is also mapped as the throttle input on V5 and V6 controllers. 

DC Power Tap (V4 Units Only) 

For our customers using the V4 baserunners with a V3 Cycle Analyst, we also included by default a short power adapter from the Main plug to a 2 pin HiGo plug. This adapter not only gives a convenient power source for a rear bike light, it also shorts the regen and throttle signals together so that the CA3 can have full control over regenerative braking features .  This adapter plug was discontinued with the V5 and V6 hardware which do not require regen and throttle signals to be shorted. 

Programming

The back of the Baserunner includes a TRRS jack for connecting the Baserunner controller to a computer or USB-OTG capable smartphone using USB->TTL serial cable. This is the same cable used with the Cycle Analyst and Satiator charger, so if you already have it then great there is no need to purchase a 2nd one. When not in use, the there is a small rubber plug included to seal this hole.
