CONTROL SYSTEM STA TUS INDICATION
The battery gauge and maximum speed /profile indicator show the status of the control system.
A number of supposedly defective control systems returned to us are subsequently found to operate correctly. This indicates
that many reported faults are due to wheelchair problems rather than the control system.
3.1
BATTERY GAUGE IS STEADY
This indicates that all is well.
3.2
BATTERY GAUGE FLASHES SLOWLY
The control system is functioning correctly, but you should charge the battery as soon as possible.
3.3
BATTERY GAUGE STEPS UP
The wheelchair batteries are being charged. You will not be able to drive the wheelchair until the charger is disconnected and
you have switched the control system off and on again.
3.4
BATTERY GAUGE FLASHES RAPIDLY (EVEN WITH THE JOYSTICK RELEASED)
The control system safety circuits have operated and the control system has been prevented from moving the wheelchair.
This indicates a system trip, i.e. the R-net has detected a problem somewhere in the wheelchair’s electrical system. Please
follow this procedure:
Switch off the control system.
Make sure that all connectors on the wheelchair and the control system are mated securely.
Check the condition of the battery.
If you can’t find the problem, try using the self-help guide given in section 3.7.
Switch on the control system again and try to drive the wheelchair. If the safety circuits operate again, switch off and
do not try to use the wheelchair.
Contact your service agent.
3.5
SPEED INDICATOR RIPPLES OUTWARDS
In this instance the LEDs make a ripple motion starting with the middle LED and then stepping outwards on both sides. The
Control System has detected that a new module has been added and is reconfiguring.
3.6
SPEED INDICATOR LEDS 2 & 4 FLASH
When the control system requires a reboot; for example, after a module re-configuration, the second and
fourth speed indicator LEDs will flash.
