VECTRIX ZEV OWNER’S MANUAL 29
The Vectrix includes an 8ft (2.4m) charging cord
which is located in the trunk under the passenger
seat.
The male connector on the charging cord is specific
to the country of use. For instance, in Italy the
plug consists of a 4-conductor assembly. This
accommodates “hot,” “neutral,” “ground” and a
“pilot” pin. In this case the pilot pin is used by the
AC power source (charging station) to detect the
presence of the Vectrix, which in turn enables the
stationary power outlet.
To charge the Vectrix, open the trunk, remove the
cord, close the trunk taking care to route the cord
through the designated slot in the bodywork and plug
the electric two-wheel vehicle into an appropriate
120v/60Hz 220v/50Hz outlet. Once plugged in,
the onboard charger will automatically control the
charging process. During the charging process, the
battery charge icon on the left LCD will be active. As
the charge progresses, the battery level indicator on
the right LCD will increase in level.
The charge is complete when all bars have been
filled on the right LCD on the instrument panel. It is
perfectly fine to unplug the Vectrix from the outlet
and interrupt the cycle. The Vectrix will benefit by
any amount of charging you have time for.
While the bike is charging, the instrument cluster
will display several charge status items. On the left
LCD the ‘estimated range’ field indicates the battery
voltage. The ‘trip’ field indicates the highest battery
module temperature and the ‘clock’ field indicates
total charge time or time remaining during the
transition mode.
On the center LCD, the ‘odometer’ field indicates
the charge mode and the voltage limit. The charge
modes are:
‘CP’ = constant power,
‘TR’ = transition mode,
‘CC’ = constant current and
‘EC’ = end of charge.
WARNING!
Use extreme caution when dealing with electricity.
Use RCD or GFI protected outlet.
WARNING!
Though it is not recommended by Vectrix, if you
use an extension cord to charge the bike, make
sure that it is at least a 20A cord and it should be
no longer than 25ft (7.6 m) in length.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
Charging Cord
The speedometer indicates the charge current times
(X) 10 on the KPH scale.
For example, 110 KPH indicates 11 amps.
