Bafang 850C display (DPC-14) question

[Aerovision]

Hi,

I am a newbie to pedelecs, having just converted a Giant Roam using a Bafang BBS01B. My display is the 850C.

So far, so good - but I have a question relating to the PAS settings in so far as I am preferring to have 5 levels in use, rather than 9m levels:

The Bafang PDC-14 manual states that using 5 level: 1=1; 2=3; 3=5; 4=7 and of course 5=9.

But, the Stefan Penov Bafang Control Tool (v2.2b) suggests in the "Infos" section that: 1=2; 2=4; 3=6; 4=8 and of course 5=9 for the DPC-14 / 850C.

So, which one is actually correct please.

Thank you,
Ian

Pretty sure it is 5 level: 1=1; 2=3; 3=5; 4=7; 5=9.

Answering my own question, following some experimenting – for the DPC-14 / 850C used in 5-level mode, not 9-level mode – 1=2; 2=4; 3=6; 4=8 and of course 5=9.

Yep, I was surprised!

How do you conclude that, by power indicated, related to the % settings in the programming?

Seems strange that 4=8 & 5=9!

I set 2, 4, 6 & 8 to 0% on both A and speed. 1, 3, 5, 7 & 9 set as normal. Tested in 9-mode. Changed to 5-mode and only level 5 worked. Then, set 1, 3, 5 & 7 to 0%, 2, 4, 6, 8 & 9 to normal, tested in 9-mode again, then into 5-mode and all worked. So, I am quite convinced that this is the case for the 850C (although I know is not for some other models).

As you say, rather strange.

That it is strange. From the Bafang DPC14 user guide

And from the Bafang Configuration Tool, v2.2b - which seems (to me) to be correct.
