DISTANCE FROM THE SOURCE
!
WARNING
EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as you get closer to the
source. For this reason, EMI from hand-held devices is of special
concern. (See
C. SOURCES OF EMI
above). A person using
one of these devices can bring high levels of EM energy very
close to your power wheelchair without you knowing it.
IMMUNITY LEVEL
!
WARNING
1. The level of EMI is measured in volts per meter (V/m). Every
power wheelchair can resist EMI up to a certain level. This is
called its ”immunity level”.
2. The higher the immunity level, the less the risk of EMI. It is
believed that a 20 V/m immunity level will protect the power
wheelchair user from the more common sources of radio
waves.
3. The tested configuration that was found to be immune to at
least 20 V/m is:
Alltrack
power wheelchair with a right-
hand mounted remote joystick system, 18” (460 mm) seat
width, 18” (460 mm) seat depth, dual post height adjustable
armrests, fixed center mount legrest with one-piece solid
footplate, and Group 24 gel
cell batteries.
4. The following specialty input devices have an unknown effect
on the immunity level because they have not been tested with
the
Alltrack
and remote joystick module system:
INPUT DEVICES
• Sip & puff
• Proximity head array
• Proportional head control
• Proportional compact joystick
• Proportional micro joystick
• Chin control
• Heavy duty joystick
• Buddy button
• Micro Light switch
!
WARNING
Individuals with physical limitations requiring the use of a specialty
control input device known not to be immune to 20 V/m, should
exercise extra care around known sources of EMI.
!
WARNING
There is no way to know the effect on EMI if you add accessories
or modify this power wheelchair. Any change to your wheelchair
may increase the risk of EMI. Parts not specifically tested or parts
from other suppliers have unknown EMI properties.
REPORT ALL SUSPECTED EMI INCIDENTS
!
WARNING
You should promptly report any unintended movement of your
power wheelchair. Be sure to indicate whether there was a radio
wave source near your power wheelchair at the time.
