1.1 Egis Operation
Study Chapter 1: Operation. It is important that the information in Chapter 1 is supplied
with the scooter, either as part of the scooter user handbook or as a separate
document.
This chapter sets out the installation conditions that must be complied with in order to
meet the safety requirements of ISO7176-14.
1.2 Program Settings
You must supply the controller programmed with the manufacturer’s preset settings.
Controllers are always supplied by PGDT with the preset settings shown on the data
sheet.
The preset settings are chosen with the scooter manufacturer to ensure safe operation
and compliance with relevant legal requirements over the whole of the operating
range of the throttle, and speed limiting control.
The scooter must stop within the maximum distance specified for the country in which
the scooter will be used. For countries requiring CE marking this is as specified in
EN12184.
Users with particular disabilities may need very low braking rates. However, if the
controller is programmed with a low braking rate, the stopping distance may be
more than that specified. If this happens, the maximum speed must be re-
programmed so that the stopping distance requirement is satisfied.
State in the scooter user handbook that it is the responsibility of the person
programming the controller to make sure that the stopping distance requirement is
satisfied. If the braking rate is low, the forward and reverse maximum speed settings
may need to be re-programmed.
To assist the person in this task, include a graph in the scooter user handbook showing
the relationship between the maximum forward/reverse speed settings and the
forward/reverse braking rate which is required to ensure the correct stopping distance.
It may be possible to program settings which compromise the stability of the scooter.
Perform suitable tests to establish which programming restrictions are needed to
prevent instability. State any programming restrictions in the scooter user handbook.
State in the scooter user handbook that it is the responsibility of the person
programming the controller to make sure that the settings are safe and to note any
programming changes that they make.
Programming should only be conducted by healthcare
professionals with in-depth knowledge of PGDT electronic
controllers. Incorrect programming could result in an unsafe
set-up of a scooter for the user. PGDT accept no liability for
losses of any kind if the programming of the controller is
altered from factory pre-set values. PGDT accept no liability
for losses of any kind if the drive or stability characteristics
of the scooter are altered without prior notification and
discussion with PGDT.
