Likely Cause of Condition and Possible Action
7
Low Battery Fault
Cause: The battery charge is not sufficient to allow safe
driving. It has fallen below 17V
Action
<
Check battery connection and terminals. The
battery voltage should be similar when the
battery is on charge, and when it isn’t.
<
Check that fuses have not blown, or circuit
breakers tripped.
<
Replace battery if worn out or if capacity is
insufficient for the user’s needs.
Note:
The wheelchair will behave sluggishly and the
Battery Gauge will flash indicating low battery voltage
prior to the display of this fault.
8
Overvoltage Fault
Cause: The battery voltage has exceeded 32V.
Action
<
If this fault occurs during battery charging, the
battery charger is defective or incorrectly
adjusted.
<
Check the battery chargers open circuit voltage
is in accordance with the battery manufacturers
limits, and is less than 32V.
Cause: The battery connector is making intermittent
contact when the wheelchair is stopped, or
travelling down a slope.
Action
<
Check that the battery wiring and terminating is
secure.
9
CANL Fault
(see Limp Mode below)
Cause: 1. An invalid voltage has been detected on the
DXBUS CANL line.
2. Communication is not possible using the CANL
wire.
Action
<
Check the continuity of the DXBUS cable.
<
Check for shorts between DXBUS pins. An
open or short circuit on another DX Module
can cause this fault.
