  • Page 49: State Of Charge And Range

    ZF BIKE ECO SYSTEM 8 State of Charge and Range To use the drive support provided by the ZF Bike Eco System, the battery must be suffi- ciently charged. Frequent charging is generally not a problem with lithium-ion batteries, but it is not recommended to leave the charger connected to the battery for long periods of time.
  • Page 50: Charging Strategy

    Charging strategy When using a new battery or a new ZF Bike Eco System powered pedelec for the first time, fully charge the battery once. Observe whether the charging process runs smoothly and contact your dealer if anything is unclear. There is electric energy involved.
  • Page 51: Evaluating The Existing Battery Capacity

    This is called the light reserve area (LRA) Your influence on the range The level of support selected by the ZF Bike Eco System has a direct influence on the achievable range with the given battery capacity and its state of charge (available amount of energy).

    Wh/km are typical for pedelecs, according to the abovementioned dependencies. (Riding with support). The battery in the ZF Bike Eco System knows your current consumption based on the kilo- meter last ridden (in Wh/km). Together with the remaining battery capacity, the remaining range can thus be determined.
  • Page 54: Bc 200 Charger

    Nominal voltage is a classification. The (approx. average) cell nominal voltage of a lithium- ion cell is 3.6 V. For the ZF Bike Eco System, 14 cell groups are connected in series. The result is a total cell nominal voltage of 14 x 3.6 V = 50.4 V, which is slightly higher than the system's nominal voltage of 48 V.
  • Page 55: Intended Use

    The charger is designed and manufactured using the state-of-the-art technology. The charger is safe to operate when delivered. The ZF product can be dangerous if it is used improperly or not as intended by unauthorized and untrained persons.
  • Page 56 • Use the charger only for systems of the ZF Bike Eco System, otherwise there is a risk of explosion and fire. • To avoid the risk of an electric shock, do not unplug a wet plug from the bike. If the charger plug is already wet inside or outside before charging, do not connect the charger to the bike.
  • Page 57: Technical Data

    OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ZF BIKE ECO SYSTEM • The charger must be placed on a solid surface during the charging process, as it may get damaged if it is dropped. • If the charger is not to be used for a longer period, please disconnect it from the power supply to prevent damage caused by overvoltage.

  • Page 61: Quick Start For Normal Use

    10 Quick Start for Normal Use 10.1 Switching the ZF Bike Eco System on and off The ZF Bike Eco System is switched on and off at the Core Controller. The Core Controller is often located in the top tube, below the handlebars.
  • Page 62 This animation signals that the software is starting up. The details given below During this time, the color display will show a logo. For example, the ZF logo. At the end of the start-up animation of the LED ring on the Core Controller, the LEDs change to indicate the battery's current state of charge.
  • Page 63 When the ZF Bike Eco System is fully operational, the handlebar display shows the stand- ard display (ride screen) with the current speed, range and selected support level. By default, the ZF Bike Eco System starts with the last support level you selected so that you can set off immediately.
  • Page 64: Selecting The Support Level

    10.2 Selecting the support level You can choose between four support modes and riding without support: ECO – ACTIVE – SPORT – BOOST – OFF. All other ZF Bike Eco System functions are available to you even without drive support.
  • Page 65: Character Of Support Modes

    Until recently a special feature of a pedelec, dynamic adaptation to the rider's request for assistance (adaptivity) is now integral to the control of all support levels. With the ZF Bike Eco System, adaptivity is particularly important in ACTIVE and SPORT mode, as it energeti- cally releases the power when required and yet the range does not suffer greatly.
  • Page 66: General Operation

    In addition to the simplified operation using the two buttons on the Core Controller, the combination of remote and color display is the most convenient way to control the ZF Bike Eco System and maintain an overview of all functions at all times.
