Operation
Start-up
Connecting the charger to the mains ( see figure A )
- Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the power source must match the voltage specified on the rating plate of the charger. Chargers marked 230 V can also be operated at 220 V.
Plug the device connector (3) of the power cable into the device socket (2) on the charger.
Connect the power cable (country-specific) to the mains.
Charging the Removed eBike Battery (see figures B–F)
Switch the eBike battery off and remove it from its holder on the eBike. When
doing so, read and observe the operating instructions of the eBike battery.
- Ensure the eBike battery is placed on clean surfaces only. Avoid getting dirt, e.g. sand or soil, in the charging socket and contacts in particular.
Plug the charging connector (5) of the charger into the charging socket (6) on the eBike battery.
Charging the eBike Battery on the eBike (see figures G−I)
Switch the eBike battery off. Clean the cover of the charging socket (14).
Avoid getting dirt, e.g. sand or soil, in the charging socket and contacts in
particular. Lift the cover of the charging socket (14) and plug the
charging connector (5) into the charging socket (6).
- There is a risk of fire due to the charger heating up during charging. Ensure the eBike battery on the eBike is completely dry and placed on a fireproof surface before charging. If this is not possible, remove the eBike battery from the holder and charge it in a more suitable location. When doing so, read and observe the operating instructions of the eBike battery.
Charging process
The charging process begins as soon as the charger is connected to the eBike
battery or charging socket on the eBike and to the mains.
Note : The charging process is only possible when the temperature of the
eBike battery is within the permitted charging temperature range.
Note : The drive unit is deactivated during the charging process.
The eBike battery can be charged with or without the onboard computer. When
charging without the on-board computer, the charging procedure can be observed
on the battery charge indicator (7) and, where applicable, on the
operating unit.
When the on-board computer is connected, a charging notification appears on
the display.
The state of charge is displayed by the battery charge indicator (7) on
the eBike battery, the operating unit and, where applicable, the on-board
computer.
The LEDs on the eBike battery charge indicator (7) flash during the
charging process. Each continuously lit LED represents approximately 20 % of
the charging capacity. The flashing LED indicates the next 20 % currently
charging.
Once the eBike battery is fully charged, the LEDs go out immediately and the
on-board computer is switched off. The charging process is terminated. The
state of charge can be displayed for 5 seconds by pressing the on/off button
(8) on the eBike battery.
Disconnect the charger from the mains and the eBike battery from the charger.
When the battery is disconnected from the charger, the eBike battery is
automatically switched off.
Note : If you have charged the battery on the eBike, carefully close the
charging socket (6) with the cover (14) after charging, so that no
dirt or water can get in.
If the charger is not disconnected from the eBike battery after charging,
after a few hours the charger will switch itself back on, check the state of
charge of the eBike battery and begin the charging procedure again if
necessary.
