High or Low Temperature
Action: If the BMS senses that the power pack is
too hot, above 71°C (160°F), or too cold, below -
7°C (20°F), it sends a signal to disable the motor
controller and the motorcycle will not run until the
temperature returns to an acceptable level. The
charger will also be disabled in this condition.
•
High Voltage
Action: If the BMS detects a voltage that is too
high, it shuts down the charger to prevent over-
charging.
The BMS is sealed inside the power pack. As a rider,
you don’t need to think much about the BMS - it just
silently does its job as you charge, ride, and store
your motorcycle. There are only two things you might
need to know about your Z-Force BMS:
•
Beep-Signals
The BMS will emit an “OK” beep-tone every time
you turn-on your motorcycle. The BMS might also
respond to other internal conditions and errors
with different kinds of beeps. This section
explains the different beep-patterns and their
meanings.
Battery Management System (BMS)
Every power pack contains a Battery Management
System (BMS) which monitors the condition of the
cells and optimizes the charging process to provide
the highest-performance, longest-range, and longest-
life for the power pack.
The BMS also monitors the battery for a host of
predefined conditions and then takes actions
according to these conditions. Some of these
conditions are listed below. Also see Understanding
Beep Sequences on page 6-3.
•
Low Voltage
Action: When a low voltage is detected, the
beeper is sounded to alert the rider that they
should stop riding the motorcycle. This beeper
beeps approximately once every 10-12 seconds
when the motorcycle is being ridden and then
once every minute when the motorcycle is inactive.
•
Dangerously Low Voltage
Action: If the voltage drops to the point that may
damage the battery cells, the battery sends a
signal to disable the motor controller and the
motorcycle will not run until the voltage returns to
an acceptable level.
