Budget Controller With alarm wiring - Help.

[Ajax]

Hi all. I picked up a budget controller off Amazon and then a virtually identical controller on eBay. I have identified most of the wiring. Both controllers have dedicated power and connection wiring for an alarm.

My question is this, will i have to short the connection to the alarm to get it to work? The alarm allows you to connect a key fob to power the controller, much like a regular key switch circuit,
As I don't have an alarm to act as this key, can i just ignore the alarm wiring, or would i have to short one of the wires [orange] in the alarm to the alarm positive? Has anyone had any experience with these budget controllers?

I was thinking i could wire the alarm wires in parallel to the send and 'return' wires from my key switch. This way in the future i could use a regular key and/or a key fob to turn the bike on and off.

Has anyone had a play with these generic controllers?

The alarm connector is normally just a branch off the battery wires to provide power for an accessory. If you want a switch of some sort, it goes on the ignition wire connector, normally labelled "lock". Your controller probably won't work unless you bridge the lock wires somehow. If the controller doesn't power up (5v on the throttle red), and you can't identify the ignition wire, open the controller. It'll be the wire that's connected to the pad next to the big resistor, possibly marked vcc. Connect it to any battery positive.

The controller has a wire-labeled door which i have connected to the key switch, i just wondered about the 3 wires for the alarm, and if I needed to connect one of those to the battery positive. They are, orange, yellow and blue,

I'm not sure of that. Some ebikes, like the Eskute scooter have a remote keyfob switch that works a proprietary alarm and remote switch-on system. It must be for something like that.
