AC + SC Power Battery Charging and Voltage Requirements
Before beginning to troubleshoot the AC or the SC Power bike for issues related to power, it is
important to understand the voltage requirements and how the Echelon2G system operates on an
internal 3.7V rechargeable battery.
The Echelon2G requires a minimum of 3V to power on and function. If the bike is not being pedaled
(or being pedaled below ~35 RPMS) and the console is manually powered on with the “ON/OFF”
button, the battery will begin to drain in orderto power the console.
Please note that this MAY cause damage to the battery over time if it is not charged by riding
the bike.
If the bike is being pedaled above 35 RPMs, the generator will provide enough power to the Eche-
lon2G that the battery will not be used.
As mentioned above, prolonged use of the console without charging the battery will drain it. If the
battery voltage drops below 2.7V the battery may no longer charge and will need to be replaced.
If the battery needs to be replaced:
580-0314 “BATTERY, 2600MAH, 3.7V, LI-ION, PROTECTED.”
Echelon2G No Power Troubleshooting
Applies to: AC Power (9-7300), SC Power (9-7310)

Use the wiring diagram located on Page 2 to troubleshoot per the directions below.
1. Ride the bike for one minute at 30+ RPMs then
push the “ON/OFF” button.
2. Ensure that the console cable is securely con-
nected to the console.
3. Check for power where the console cable plugs
into the console (Yellow + Black or Pins 2+3). If
power is present, replace console.
4. Using a #2 phillips screwdriver, remove the seven
(7) screws securing the left side shroud to the
frame, then remove the shroud.
5. Ensure that the belt connecting the ywheel to
the generator is intact and properly seated in the
pulleys.
6. Use a 2.5mm allen key to remove the thirteen
(13) M3 x 8mm screws securing the PCB cover to
the frame, then remove the PCB cover.
7. Check for power out of the J2 connector on the
LCB. If power is present out from LCB, check con-
tinuity on console cable. If no continuity, replace
the console cable.
8. Measure voltage out of the battery, if voltage is
below 2.8V, replace the battery. If voltage is 2.9V
or above, replace LCB
9. Spin crank arms and check for power out of the
J3 connector on the LCB, if power is present, re-
place the battery. If no power is present, but the
Charging LED (CHG) is on, replace LCB.
10. Check continuity of generator cable, if no conti-
nuity, replace generator cable.
11. Check for continuity across the generator cable’s
pins (1+2, 2+3, 1+3), if continuity is missing from
any phase, replace the generator.
