Active or passive holder?

What is the difference between the Active and Passive holders?

We offer three variants of holders for the CI Pad: the Lightweight Active Holder, the Lightweight Passive Holder, and the Lightweight Bare Metal Holder.

1. Lightweight Bare Metal Holder:

• Purpose: The Bare Metal Holder serves as a replacement part. It is ideal for users who have damaged their holder but have intact pogo pins and M8 cable.
• Features: This holder comes with two keys for locking but does not include any electronics. You will need to transplant the electronics from your existing holder to the Bare Metal Holder.
• Note: Ensure that your cable and connector brackets are undamaged. If they are broken, please order replacements, as they are essential for securing the M8 cable and preventing twisting of the connector.

2. Lightweight Active Holder:

• Charging Options: The Active Holder provides charging through two options: it can use either the pogo pins, the M8 cable, or both simultaneously.
• Recommended Use: This holder is particularly recommended for larger four-stroke bikes, which tend to ride smoothly and transmit fewer vibrations to the pogo pins.
• Caution: It is not advisable to use the Active Holder on two-stroke or lighter bikes due to their higher vibration levels, which can reduce charging efficiency and potentially damage the pogo pins or the CI Pad’s contacts. Regular maintenance of the pogo pins, as outlined in the user manual, is essential (cleaning and greasing).

3. Lightweight Passive Holder:

• Charging Method: The Passive Holder offers charging solely through the M8 cable.
• Recommended Off-Road Solution: This holder is our recommended option for off-road charging because its threaded connection is more resilient to vibrations and impacts.
• Installation Tips: Make sure to utilize the included cable and connector brackets. The smaller bracket secures the cable against the holder to minimize movement, while the larger bracket serves for M8 cable storage when the CI Pad is dismounted. To store the cable, simply seal it with the cable cap and press it into the larger bracket.

Included Accessories: Both the Active and Passive holders come with the M8 charging cable, keys, and the necessary cable and connector brackets as part of the package.
