The Power Module uses the motors to brake the powerchair during the time that the
parkbrakes have been de-energised but have not engaged mechanically. This
braking method is called active motor braking.
When the parkbrakes have been de-energised, the Power Module applies active
motor braking for the time defined by the
Brake / Bridge Off Delay
parameter. After
this time the Power Module will switch off the motors.
The correct value of this parameter is dependent on the mechanics of the parkbrake
that is used on the chair.
Warning:
Make sure that the
Brake / Bridge Off Delay
value is greater than the
time it takes for the parkbrakes to mechanically engage when they
have been electrically de-energised. The parkbrakes must engage
before the motors turn off, or the powerchair will roll away.

Yes
– The park brakes are periodically checked for open-circuit while the chair is
driving. Some parkbrakes produce a noise during this test, which can annoy
the user.
No
– The park brakes are not checked for open-circuit while the chair is driving,
only before the chair starts to drive.

The short-circuit test will still be performed while driving.
