Functional description
The Dahl
VarioDock
TM
(1)
is designed to retain manual and
electric wheelchairs, as well as Dahl’s seat bases in the vehi-
cle’s floor. A
control module (6)
controls and monitors Dahl
VarioDock
TM
's features, distributes power to the various com-
ponents, as well as receiving and sending signals to and from
the control panel. Wires are included. Do not carry out any
modifications to the supplied wiring or other components. A
lock plate
and an
8mm spacer (2)
must be fitted under the
wheelchair. When the wheelchair is manoeuvred towards the
VarioDock, the wheelchair is guided into place by means of
the lock plate.
When the lock plate is fully engaged in the VarioDock, a
spring-loaded
lock pin (3)
automatically secures the lock
plate. VarioDock is equipped with a built-in control switch that
indicates whether the lock plate is correctly secured in the
VarioDock. As soon as the lock plate comes into contact with
the locking pin, a warning tone will sound (a high-pitched
howl), and the
red diode/lamp - LED (A)
in the control panel
will light up until the lock plate is either fully engaged or
else the wheelchair is removed from the VarioDock. With the
wheelchair correctly secured, the warning tone stops and
the
green diode/lamp - LED (B)
in the control panel will light
up to indicate that the wheelchair is properly secured.
The
control panel (5)
(see descriptions of control panel’s functions
on page 15)
is connected to an electromagnet which triggers/
releases the lock pin for approx. 5 or 8 seconds, after which it
is automatically locked once more.
In case of an electrical fault, there is a
manual emergency
release (4)
on the front edge of the VarioDock. The release
arm should be pushed sideways and held in order to release
the wheelchair. You can also use the emergency release tool,
which is delivered with the VarioDock. Fixing parts in the form
of bolts, nuts, washers, etc., are included.
