1. R-net Diagnostics
The primary objective of this chapter is to assist service personnel in find-
ing the likely area of a detected trip within the whole wheelchair electrical
system.
It is important to realize that even though the control system is signalling a trip,
it may not be the control system itself that is defective. This is because the con-
trol system is able to detect problems in other electrical components (motors,
batteries, solenoid brakes, etc.) or, more importantly, the wiring to them. When
a control system has detected a trip, a system trip is indicated.
This chapter covers the diagnostic process for the R-net control system, in-
cluding; JSM trip display analysis, accessing the system log using OBP, trip
identification and possible restorative guidelines.
1.1 Diagnostic Procedure
To diagnose a trip please follow this procedure:
• Read and note the Trip Text displayed, the Identified Module and the Trip
Code. Refer to section 2.
• Switch off the control system.
• Make sure that all connectors on the listed Module and the wheelchair are
mated securely.
• Check the condition of the battery.
• Find the definition of the Trip Text, and take the required action. Refer to
section 3.
• Switch on the control system again and try to drive the wheelchair. If the
safety circuits operate again, switch off and do not try to use the wheelchair.
Contact your service agent!
Diagnostics should only be conducted by healthcare professionals with in-depth knowledge of
PGDT electronic control systems. An incorrect or badly effected repair could result in an unsafe
set-up of a wheelchair. Permobil accept no liability for losses of any kind arising from an incorrect
or badly effected repair.
