Device Description
Model P322 Powered Wheelchair is battery powered, front wheel motor
driven and is controlled by the PG power wheelchair VR-2 50amp controller.
The user interface is a joystick. P322 is powered by two 12 VDC 34ah (U1)
batteries. The batteries are charged by a 4A off-board charger connected
with 3-pin Microphone Connector to the charging socket on the joystick. The
approximate driving range on fully charged batteries is up to 28km (18mi).
The chair frame is a rived nut and welded steel construction and includes
two front drive wheels with drive units (including motor, gear, brake), batter-
ies and rear pivoting casters. Depending on users needs, the joystick motor
control is mounted to the left or right armrest. When the user activates the
joystick, the controller receives a signal to release the brakes. With the
brakes released, the wheelchair is allowed to move in the direction the joy-
stick is actuated. When the user releases the joystick, the chair slows to a
stop and the brakes are automatically re-engaged. The solenoid electrome-
chanical brakes allow the user to stop by letting go of the joystick.
The upholstery of the device complies with EN 1021-1/-2:2006: Furniture:

The device can be operated on dry, level surfaces composed of concrete,
blacktop, or asphalt under normal driving conditions.
