This product complies with the regulatory requirements within Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA) – 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 38, “Accessibility Specifications
for Transportation Vehicles” – Subpart B – Buses, Vans and Systems. Also covered by
CSA Z605 – D409.

VDC 1.5 amps
•
When the vehicle is stopped and the parking brake is applied, the 12
VDC
is applied
to the Electric Retractors (See Electric Fail-Safe Systems
Requirements).
•
The two wire connectors need to be placed near the Electric Retractors
and properly
covered, and protected from the elements and vandalism.
•
All systems require application of 12 VDC to the Electric Retractors through a relay
that is energized by a momentary electrical switch. Voltage to the Electric Retractors
can only be initiated through voltage to the Electric Retractors.
•
When correctly fitted and wired, retractor can be locked and unlocked as follows:
--
Power On = Retractor free-wheeling webbing in and out.
--
Power Off = Retractor locked webbing will not come out, but will self-retract.
The Electric Retractors MUST be tied into the vehicle electrical
systems.
(See Electric Fail-Safe Systems Requirements below.)
ELECTRIC
FAIL-SAFE SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
All systems require application of 12 VDC to the Electric Retractors through a relay that is
energized by a momentary electrical switch. Voltage to the Electric Retractors can on
only be initiated through activation of this one switch. Al
l
systems require a second
switch that de-energizes the relay, removing voltage to the Electric Retractors.
In addition to these manual controls, the Electric Retractor installation shall be equipped
with fail-safes that help to prevent them from being released while the vehicle is moving.
One or more of the following examples are required and must be used:
1)
An electric timer that cuts the voltage to the Electric Retractors may be used within a
two (2) minute window of their activation.
2)
A tailgate, door or ramp switch that removes voltage to the retractors when the tailgate
or ramp door is closed and ramp is stowed.
3)
A parking brake switch that removes the voltage to the retractors when the parking
brake is released.
4)
A transmission switch that removes the voltage to the retractors when the transmission
is out of
p
ark.
5)
Note: A warning light that illuminates when the 12 volts is applied to the Electric
Retractors. (This is not a fail-safe, only a visual warning.)
