Installation instructions for Brose engines
The tuning module removes the 25 km/h limit on your pedelec.
All other properties and functions of your bike are retained as usual.
Here is a schematic representation of how to connect the tuning:
The tuning module is plugged into the engine. To do this, unplug the 4-pin plug from the display and the 2-pin plug from the speed sensor on the engine and connect the respective tuning cables to the engine and to the disconnected plugs.
Example Rotwild R.X750:
The current Rotwild models have a small rubber cover that can be removed without tools. Below you will find the necessary connections.
With the 5-pin connector, the orange wire must point downwards on the motor shown.
Caution: Do not confuse the 2-pin connector with the light connection. The correct plug is outlined in black on the motor. If the module is plugged into the light connection, this will destroy the module and the display unit.
The space under the cover is very tight, but it is always possible to place the module there. If you cannot reach the plugs with your fingers, simply pull them out carefully with needle-nosed pliers.
Rotwild C1:
Example Specialized Turbo Levo:
With the 5-pin connector, the orange wire must point downwards on the motor shown.
Caution: Do not confuse the 2-pin connector with the light connection. The correct plug is outlined in black on the motor. If the module is plugged into the light connection, this will destroy the module and the display unit.
Enable/disable tuning:
To switch the support on or off above 25km/h, please change the support level down, up, down and up again by one level (- + - +) . So the key combination:
- down
- up
- down
- up
press slowly in succession, but no pause longer than 3 seconds between 2 keys.
Success is confirmed with an animation of the battery indicator. If the battery indicator runs from 0 to 100% when switching on, then the tuning is active. If the display runs from 100 to 0%, then the tuning is deactivated (* may vary depending on the installed display).
The module remains in the respective status until this is changed. Even after switching the e-bike on or off.
Important note on visiting a workshop or software updates on your pedelec:
Before you take your pedelec to customer service or have the Brose system software updated, please ask whether the tuning will still work with the more up-to-date software.
For a software update on your Brose system, the module must first be removed. Alternatively, there is the service mode on the tuning chip, which you must activate before an update.
To do this, please adjust the support level 3x down and then 3x up.
Start at the highest level. If successful, the complete battery display flashes 3x and the software status of the tuning module is shown in the speedometer display. The service mode is now active and maintenance and software updates can be carried out on your Bosch system.
The service mode remains active after the system is switched off. When you switch on your pedelec, no animation of the capacity display of the battery is shown as long as this mode is active. To deactivate the service mode, please use the same key combination as for activating or the combination for switching the tuning on and off. Please note that in service mode the motor support ends at 25 km/h.
Hints:
- If you are not sure whether the service mode is active, please remove the tuning before the update!
- Please only activate the service mode for updates on your pedelec!
- A switched off tuning cannot be switched on via the combination for the service mode!
After activating the service mode, we recommend switching off the bike without moving it again!
