3.1 Function
The powerful drive system with two 12 V batteries combined with spring-mounted drive wheels allows obstacles to
be crossed easily (Category B according to EN 12184) and offers safe operating performance.
The power wheelchair is controlled by the enAble40 wheelchair control unit (see Page 26). The latter includes a
control panel to enter driving commands and display the current status as well as a controller that operates the
drive motors and other electrical functions based on the inputs.
The special features of the power wheelchair include:
•
Compact design and ease of use.
• Frame that can be disassembled, making transportation easier.
• Individual control adaptation possibilities through programming and options.
• Customisation through options and custom fabrication.
• Modular design that allows the power wheelchair to be equipped with additional modules and installed equip­
ment in addition to the main components, such as various power seat functions (see Page 39) or an attendant
control (see Page 44).
• Serviceability due to easy, straightforward access to all components.
