ELECTRICAL INTEGRATION
The power supply to the arm must be 24V D.C. The electrical power provided to the JACO arm,
when used on a motorized wheelchair, will come from both wheelchair batteries. The JACO arm
power cable provided by Kinova is presented in Appendix 3. At one end, it is equipped with the
necessary connector for the JACO base and the other end is equipped with no connector. The 4
free wires at this end are devoted to be joined to the adequate connector to acquire the 24V
D.C. necessary for powering the JACO arm.
It is the responsibility of the technician to assure that the 24V electric outlet is safe for both
JACO and the wheelchair.
Once the cable is adequately prepared, and to assure an adequate electrical integration, please
proceed with the following steps:
1)
Find the adequate 24V D.C. outlet on the wheelchair;
2)
From the 24V D.C. outlet on the wheelchair to the JACO arm fixe base, define the path that
the power cable will follow;
3)
Rout the power cable in a way that it will not interfere with normal wheelchair or swinger
movements and so it is not visually intrusive;
4)
Secure the power cable in place.
Assure that the connector is securely connected and will not come out with
wheelchair vibrations.
