The KSI hookups go to an inner circuit board that can only fit in one place within the controller. Logisystems looked at this "issue" and is about to release a new controller which resolves each of these problems and yes because the spade lugs are soldered in internally the heat of being soldered externally will cause the solder on the inside to melt. Even though the KSI connections are near 2 and 3 Insulating the KSI from 2 and 3 pointless, unless you short them out.

Thanks for the help. I'll video tape myself messin with this and maybe you could watch and comment

These types of controllers should have female holes instead of spade lugs that you plug into and click in place I think it would make them more durable.

What do you mean by shielded extension? I was thinking mabye a little plastic enclosure that seperates them or maybe you could solder a lead onto KSI and then put heat shrink around that but maybe that would void the warranty. Spade lugs are not ideal either they come loose fairly easily. I almost broke off a spade lug on a Curtis of mine one time while working on it, it just bent so easy.

thanks, I wonder if there is a way to put a shielded extension and reposition the KSI away from the potentiometer leads.

Make sure not to accidentally hook the pack voltage that goes to KSI (to turn the controller on) to any of the of the two potentiometer leads and they are very close to KSI so it is easy to do. If you do hook the pack voltage to your potentiometer leads your controller will be fried just a flaw that logisystem and curtis didn't think about. KSI should really be on the other side of the controller not anywhere near 2 and 3 and they should be protected just in case.

thank you so much for posting this video, I'm about to get a logisystems in the mail. I've already got the Netgain Warp9 in my Mazda B2200. I've got some videos of me and my conversion project on youtube if you wanna check em out.
