BUTTON DEFINITION KT-LCD3 meter adopts the structural form with part design between the main part and operating buttons. There are three buttons on the operating panel of the box, which are icons of button (UP), button (DOWN) and button (POWER).




Button Box and Operating Panel
BASIC OPERATION
#### On/Off
To turn on or off, hold down button for 2 seconds. System will automatically shut down when vehicle is stationary and not in use for longer than five minutes. When powered off, the power consumption of the meter and controller is zero.

#### Display Interface

The following are shown on display 1.


##### Battery Capacity Indicator Single Trip Time (TM)


##### Power Assist Real-Time Trip Speed (Km/H)


##### Single Trip Distance (DST) 6Km/H Push Function


##### Motor Operation Power Environment Temperature


##### Backlight and Headlights Brake Status


##### Cruise Function (CRUISE) Motor Running Temperature


##### Display 2


##### Total Trip Time (TTM) Total Trip Distance (ODO)


##### Single Average Speed (AVS) Motor Operating Temperature
Once the vehicle is in riding mode, after five seconds display 2 automatically reverts to display 1. The original motor power is replaced by the motor running temperature as shown below. To return to motor output, cycle through the displays back to display 1.



##### Display 3


##### Single Maximum Speed (MXS) Real-Time Voltage (VOL)
Once the vehicle is in riding mode, after five seconds the single maximum speed will return to real-time speed (Km/H) as shown below.


To return to display 1, press button.
Display of Powered Motor: When motor is powered, the LCD will display and animate the following interface to indicate the motor is drawing power. This will only last a duration of 5 seconds before reverting to display 1. The interface will appear as follows.

Display of Powered Motor
Display of Power-Assist: When motor is operating under power-assistance, the display interface flashes the “ASSIST” sign. The indicator will cease after 5 seconds.

Display of Power-Assist
#### Battery Capacity Indicator
The KT-LCD3 can identify 24V, 36V, 48V battery capacities when used with supporting controllers. When the battery capacity is over 70%, four bars from the battery indicator will be displayed. As the battery capacities drop, the bars will change accordingly. Once the power capacity is less than 15%, the battery indicator will be empty and show zero bars. If the power display frame flashes, it is due to voltage shortage where the controller will power off.

#### PAS Ratio


Press button or button to adjust the power assist ratio, changing the motor output power. Range of power assist is between 1 and 5 (this can also be configured according to the rider’s requirements), where one provides the lowest power and five provides the highest. When the PAS ratio is set to zero, the power assist function is off.
#### Power Push Function

Users can use power push function for assistance in vehicle take-off. Hold button and the motor will provide power until vehicle reaches 6 Km/H. The meter assist function icon will flash indicating the function is active. By releasing the button, the function will be revoked.


#### Cruise Function

When the vehicle is traveling above 7Km/H, hold button for 3 seconds to set the cruise function. The LCD will display "CRUISE" and "C" to indicate that the cruise function has been activated (as seen in the figure below). Brake or hold any button to revoke cruise. Note that this feature only works if it has been activated through the parameter settings (check C7 in parameter setting).

Backlight and Headlights To turn on or off LCD backlight and vehicle headlights, hold button for 3 seconds. When this function is activated, the display will show sign to indicate it is on.


#### Motor Operating Power and Temperature
Whilst vehicle is in use, real time feedback of input power to the motor is displayed on the meter. The operating temperature of the motor can be displayed with supporting sensors installed in the inner motor to output the temperature for signal detection. When the motor operating temperature exceeds the warning value, temperature display flashes to alarm the rider. In this circumstance, the motor controller will offer the appropriate protection to motor.

#### Ambient Temperature
Upon start-up, the environment temperature is displayed on the bottom right hand corner. The displayed figure may not accurately indicate the environment temperature immediately after start up, however will adjust within 10 minutes.

#### Single Data Clearing

After five seconds of start up, whilst on display 1 hold both the button and the button simultaneously for 3 seconds. The single trip time (TM) and single trip distance (DST) will flicker. Press button and the record contents of both will be cleared. If there are no operations within five seconds of (TM) and (DST) flashing, the meter will return to display 1, and the original record content will be saved.



#### Automatically Prompt Interface
Error Code Display: When there are issues with the electronic control system of the vehicle, the meter will automatically display (flicker) a fault code. This cannot be removed until fault is fixed. Refer to Error Code & Definition Table for reference.
Motor operating temperature alarm: When the motor operating temperature exceeds the warning value, the motor operating temperature display flashes to alarm the rider, whilst the controller will provide the appropriate protection to the motor.

USER SETTING PROJECT
The KT-LCD3 meter provides users with 3 depths of settings which are s:










GENERAL PROJECT SETTING
#### Maximum Trip Speed

Turn on meter, and within 5 seconds of start-up simultaneously hold button and button for 3 seconds to enter general project settings. “MXS” and the speed will be displayed, indicating the maximum riding speed (Refer to image below for illustration). To adjust, press the button to increase or button to decrease the speed. Once desired speed has been selected, press the button to confirm changes and move onto wheel diameter.





#### Wheel Diameter

While in the general project setting, cycle through the menu using the button until the values of “DST” are flashing. Use the button and button to scroll through the selection of the following wheel diameters: 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 700C and 28 inches. Confirm selection by pressing the button.





#### Units

While in the general project setting, cycle through the menu using the button until the values of units are flashing (as shown below). Use the button and button to scroll through the selection of units. Confirm selection by pressing the button.




Definition Table of Metric/Imperial Units:
|Unit|Metric|Imperial| |---|---|---| |Speed|Km/H|MPH| |Distance|Km|Mil| |Temperature|°C|°F|
P PARAMETER SETTING Enter the P Parameter settings by cycling through the General Project Settings to the end (when display ceases flashing) and simultaneously holding button and button for 3 seconds. If required to exit at any parameter, hold button for 2 seconds. Use the button and button to select the value and confirm selection by pressing the button. The parameter will be saved and the meter will enter the next P parameter settings.






#### P1 Motor Characteristic Parameter Setting

P1 Display
The P1 settings are a motor characteristic parameter where: P1 = Motor Gear Reduction Ratio × Number of Rotor Magnets Rounding to a full number is necessary. The P1 setting ranges between 1 and 255.
#### P2 Wheel Speed Pulse Signal Setting
The P2 parameter setting will display on the meter after the P1 parameter setting has been selected and confirmed. The KT-LCD3 will display as follows:

##### P2 Display

P3 Display

##### P4 Display

##### P5 Display
The P5 Parameter is power monitoring mode. When the value is set to 0, the power monitoring is in "real-time voltage" mode where the method to determine the battery capacity is based on real-time voltage. Once the P5 parameter is set to a specified value, the power monitoring is in "smart power" mode where the value set is determined by the battery characteristics. Such that, 24V lithium batteries are typically set between 4-11 and 36V lithium batteries set between 5-15. The P5 parameter setting ranges from 0-40.
C PARAMETER SETTING
Enter the C Parameter settings by cycling through the P Parameter Settings to the end (when display ceases flashing) and simultaneously holding button and button for 3 seconds. If required to exit at any parameter, hold button for 2 seconds. Use the button and button to select the value and confirm selection by pressing the button. The parameter will be confirmed and the meter will enter the following C parameter settings.






#### C1 Throttle Start-Up Setting
The C1 parameter setting will display on the meter after the P Parameter settings. The KT-LCD3 will display as follows:
