Chapter 3: Installation and Testing
15
For best electrical performance, the wire size must be as large as possible.
Recommended minimum wire sizes are shown in the wiring sections.
For low-current signals, do not use wire sizes smaller than 0.5mm
2
/AWG20, because
smaller wires are physically not strong enough for this application.
Make sure that only supplied terminal screws are used.
The type of cable used must be appropriate for the mechanical and environmental
abuse it is likely to encounter.
Do not use damaged or abused cables. A damaged cable can potentially produce
localised heat, sparks or arcing and as such it can cause a fire.
Protect all cables against possible contact with flammable material.
The installation must prevent and/or discourage the user from accessing any cable.
Route the actuator wires to the side of the terminal cover. While assembling the terminal
cover, make sure that the wires are not trapped under the cover.
While installing power and battery connectors of DS90 and DS120 variants, make sure to
insert until you feel them click into position.
Refer sections 3.3.2 to 3.3.5 for wiring diagrams for all
R
HINO
2
variants.
Warning:
1.
Route the cables and fasten all scooter components in a position so that the
cables, the connectors and the connector sockets of the R
HINO
2 do not allow
water entry or suffer from physical strain, abuse or damage, such as cutting or
crushing. Take particular care on scooters with movable structures such as seat
raise. Make sure that the cables do not extend beyond the scooter so that they
cannot be caught or damaged by external objects.
2.
Disconnect all the cables of the scooter at the powered end whenever units are
replaced or moved.
3.
The user maintenance schedule and the service instructions of the scooter must
include the appropriate inspection and maintenance requirements for the
connectors and the cables.
4.
It is the responsibility of the installer to make sure that the finished wiring package
is safe and fit for purpose.
5.
Before making any connections to the controller, disable the scooter by one of
the following means to prevent accidental movement.
Place the battery circuit breaker in the open position.
Disconnect the motor or batteries and/or elevate the drive wheels.
6.
To meet ISO requirements, the Battery and Motor connectors must be fixed in
such a way they cannot be swapped or transposed. Alternatively, these may be
protected by a cover that cannot be removed without the use of tools.
7.
If the DS160, or DS160-ACT is not mounted under the scooter cover, then the
cover accessory must be used.
8.
The terminal cover should not be fitted more than five times. If fitted more than
five times, there is a risk of stripping the threads of the screw holes.
Note:
To meet the requirements of relevant standards, a status indicator must be fitted
to the scooter.
