This portion of the content will provide the user with
basic information about the problems with EMI
(electromagnetic interference), protective measures can
be used to either lessen the possibility of exposure or to
minimize the degree of exposure; this section also
shows some conditions that unexpected or erratic
movements may cause.
It is very important that you read this
information regarding the possible effects of
electromagnetic interference on your electric KYMCO
SCOOTER.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI) FROM
RADIO WAVE SOURCES
Powered scooters may be susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI), which is interfering electromagnetic
energy (EM) emitted from sources such as radio stations,
TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way
radios, and cellular phones. The interference (from
radio wave sources) can cause the powered scooter to
release its brakes, move by itself, or move in
unintended directions. It can also permanently damage
the powered scooter’s control system. The intensity of
the interfering EM energy can be measured in volts per
meter (V/m). Each powered scooter can resist EMI up to
a certain intensity level”. The higher the immunity level
the greater the protection. At this time, current
technology is capable of achieving at least a 20 V/m
immunity level, which would provide useful protection
from the more common sources of radiated EMI. This
powered scooter model as shipped, with no further
modification, has an immunity level of 20 V/m without
any accessories.
