Power System

4.1 PowerTraxx Components

The PowerTraxx (Figures 1 and 2) consists of the following components:

●

CONTROLLER: The controller attached to the lift bar allows the

operator to control the direction of the belts, the scene lights and

monitor the battery and wireless connection.

●

CONTROL BUTTONS: The

and

control buttons are attached

to the controller.

●

SCENE LIGHTS (2): LED lights located on top of the power unit and
are controlled by the

button on the controller.

●

CONTROLLER BATTERY: The battery is inside the controller and

provides power to the conroller. See “Controller Battery” on page

32.

●

BELT (2): The belts engage the stairs. The motor powers the belts.

The user controls the direction using the control buttons.

●

MAIN BATTERY: The battery attaches to the power unit and

provides power. It is easily to remove, charge, and reattach. See

“Main Battery” on page 14.

●

POWER UNIT: The power unit located between the tracks receives

input from the buttons to control the direction of the belts. It also

monitors other aspects of the chair.

●

WIRELESS COMMUNICATION: Wireless connectivity provides

communications between the power unit and controller.

●

SPEED LIMITER (part of the power unit): If the system loses power,

the belts are free to rotate for non-powered descent. However, the

speed limiter retards the speed of the belts to improve operator

control for the descent.
