CREO SL: SYSTEM COMPONENTS

BASIC THEORY OF OPERATION
CREO SL: SERVICE & REPAIR

What happens when pressing
the TCU on-button?
• Switch in TCU closes circuit
• Wakeline activates battery
• Battery sends 48V to the
motor
• Battery sends 12V to the TCU
• TCU starts, LED display lights
up
• SL system is active

CREO SL: BASIC THEORY OF OPERATION
THREE COMPONENTS ARE PART OF THE CAN BIKE SYSTEM COMMUNICATION (COMPONENTS 'TALK' TO EACH OTHER)
1. TCU (MASTER WITHIN BIKE; CAPABLE OF INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL COMMUNICATION)
2. MOTOR
3. BATTERIES (INTERNAL AND/OR RANGE EXTENDER)
(SPEED SENSOR ACTS AS SWITCH, NOT PART OF THE CAN BIKE COMMUNICATION)
THIS HAPPENS WHEN TCU IS SWITCHED ON
•SWITCH IN TCU CLOSES WAKE LINE
•WAKE LINE ACTIVATES BATTERY (WAKE LINE GOES FROM TCU TO BATTERY)
•BATTERY SENDS 48V TO MOTOR AND 12V TO TCU (12V COME DIRECTLY FROM BATTERY)
•TCU STARTS, LEDS LIGHT UP (EVEN IF MOTOR IS NOT CONNECTED)
•SL SYSTEM IS ACTIVE
DIFFERENCE VERSUS LEVO2
ON A CREO, THE TCU ALSO STARTS WITHOUT A CONNECTED MOTOR (‘MOTOR NOT FOUND’ ON TCU), WHEREAS THE TCU OF A LEVO2 WOULD NOT
POWER ON WITH A DISCONNECTED MOTOR.
