L Parameter Setting
1. L1 parameters are applicable to the automatic under-voltage controller. The
default of the factory is 0.
1.1 When L1=0, the automatic under-voltage controller can automatically select
the under-voltage value according to the battery voltage.
1.2 When L1=1, the under-voltage value of the automatic under-voltage controller
is forced to be 20V.
1.3 When L1 = 2, the under-voltage value of the automatic under-voltage
controller is forced to be 30V.
1.4 When L1 = 3, the under-voltage value of the automatic under-voltage
controller is forced to be 40V.

2. L2 parameter is suitable for the super high-speed motor controller. The default of
the factory is 0.

L2 parameter will be activated when the value of P1 parameter exceeds 255. L2

parameter should use in combination with P1.

2.1 When L2=0, P1 parameter is set as the calculated value.
