-ЧTo be able to connect the PAS system, it is necessary to order the PWM IO/PAS cable as an option. The PAS system connects to the Controller via the PWM IO/PAS wire to the **P1/P2** or **IO5/IO6** ports of the **USB/PWM**  connector. When using a SEMPU pressure sensor, an additional signal output from the TH port of the connector **Control**  is required.+To be able to connect the PAS system, it is necessary to order the PWM IO/PAS cable as an option.

 +==== Boost mode ====
 +
 +**Boost duration** (User level) — maximum power operation time, in seconds. Select of values from **0.2**s to **10**s, in increments of **0.2**s. The function works as follows: in the **Controller** > **Control modes** menu, configure the battery current to be greater than the discharge current in the battery settings in the **Controller** > **Battery** > **Discharge max** menu. Next, select the boost operating time in the **Controller** > **Controls** > **Boost duration** menu. Now, while driving, when the battery current increases more than **Discharge Max**, the countdown of the time during which this excess will work begins, i.e. Boost. After this time, the battery current will be reset to the **Discharge max** setting level. In order for the boost mode to be available again, it is necessary to drive for 1 minute at a battery current value of no more than 70% of the Discharge max value. \\
 +
 +For example, on the Sur-Ron Ultra Bee, this mode allows you to squeeze the maximum out of the standard battery and achieve a power of 21 kW instead of 12 kW. \\

 In the **Controller**  > **Battery**  menu section you can set up the parameters of the battery connected to the Controller. The Nucular controllers support supply voltages from **20V**  to **90V**, this is **21S**  for Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries and **25S**  for Lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries. To configure the battery, you must specify the range of supply voltage and current. To correctly display the battery capacity on the On-board computer screen and correctly calculate the remaining charge, you must specify the battery capacity in [[:en:display:start#battery_capacity|settings]] of On-board Computer. If you use several batteries with different parameters on the same bike, you can save the configurations for each battery on the SD card and load them after replacing the battery. The SD card can be stored in the On-board computer. In the **Controller**  > **Battery**  menu section you can set up the parameters of the battery connected to the Controller.

-{{:en:controller:k20_en.png?nolink&  }}+**#Quick voltage setup** — feature to help you select the correct parameters for your battery. To automatically configure the items **Full charge**, **Supply max**, **Supply min**, you need to select the type of battery chemistry from the following options:\\ 
 +**LiIon (3.6V)** for li-ion battery.\\ 
 +**LFP (3.2V)** for lithium-iron-phosphate battery (LiFePO4).\\ 
 +**LTO (2.3V)** for lithium-titanate battery (Li4Ti5O12).\\
  
 +Next, select the **Cell count**, values from **8S** to **28S**, in increments of **1S**. After that, in the **Apply setup** item, select **Yes**. After saving the settings, you will see a window with new battery parameters. It is important to remember that we guarantee the operation of controllers with voltages up to 90V. The device is technically rated for 95V, but operating above 90V will void the warranty and you will be warned about this in a pop-up window. For example, if you try to select 22S for a lithium-ion battery. If the settings exceed 95V, the controller will also warn you that you are trying to set the voltage too high.\\

 **Full charge**  — delta voltage relative to the maximum, at which when the controller is turned on, will reset the watt-hour consumption, in volts (**dV**). This setting resets the **From charge statistics**  when the Controller is turned on.

 For example, you have a 2WD scooter and two 12F controllers, you need to distinguish them somehow in the **Devices**  menu for easy setup. A controller for a front motor can be prefixed with **Front**, in which case the controller will be named **Front Nucular controller**  in the **Devices**  menu. For example, you have a 2WD scooter and two 12F controllers, you need to distinguish them somehow in the **Devices**  menu for easy setup.

-If you are using a 3WD drive or more, then both prefixes must be used for the controller name. For example, if the controller is driving a rear right motor, the setting will look like this: **Prefix 1**  — **Rear**, **Prefix 2**  — **Right**.+If you are using a 3WD drive or more, then both prefixes must be used for the controller name.

 +==== Access level ==== 
 + 
 +Four levels are available:\\ 
 +**Novice**\\ 
 +**User**\\ 
 +**Advanced**\\ 
 +**Engineer**\\ 
 + 
 +Depending on the selected access level, some menu items will be hidden to make it easier to configure the controller. For example, at the **Novice** level, a minimum basic set of settings will be displayed. At the Engineer level, all possible settings will be available. You can choose your level yourself.\\ 
 + 
 +**Important note**: now after updating the firmware to v0.8.13, the default level will be set to **Novice**. Remember this when you don’t find the usual menu items in the controller settings.\\

 **Start logging**  — to start recording, select **On**  and press the right button of the On-board computer. After that, the **#State**  menu item will change to **Waiting**  status. The recording will start automatically after pressing the throttle grip. If an error occurs during the recording process, you will see its code in the ** # Error code **  menu item. In case of an error, firstly, check that the SD card has the FAT32 file system, and secondly, that there is free space on the SD card for recording. Additionally, you can delete unnecessary files from the card. After that, restart the Controller and start recording again. If the error repeats, contact us through the website or chat technical support and report the error code. **Start logging**  — to start recording, select **On**  and press the right button of the On-board computer.
