Wire Routing Guidelines
The following are guidelines ONLY. Location of electronic
components and wiring may vary from wheelchair to
wheelchair according to wheelchair model, manufacturing
date, options or accessories.
Decisions regarding routing and securing of wires and cables
should only be made by a qualified technician.
If technical questions or problems arise, contact Invacare
Technical Service.
In this manual the term “wiring” describes any cable, lead or
wire used to connect a electronic/powered device to the
wheelchair batteries or charger.
It is important to follow these basic wiring guidelines when
installing, adding, repositioning or replacing wiring of electronic
components such as the controller, motors, joystick, display, switches
or accessory/seating control box(es). This manual points out
common procedures and techniques involved in the safe installation,
repositioning or maintenance of power wheelchair wiring.
Use this information only as a “basic” guide. Location of electronic
components and wiring may vary from wheelchair to wheelchair
according to wheelchair model, manufacturing date, options or
accessories.
Installation, repositioning or maintenance of power wheelchair wiring
requires close attention to ensure wiring does not interfere with
the safe operation of the wheelchair and to prevent damage to the
wiring, the wheelchair and/or injury to the user.
Service personnel must be aware that the location and wire routing
and location of mounting hardware can effect the following:
•
User safety.
•
Performance of the wheelchair or accessories.
•
Location of driver controls such as joysticks, switches and
displays.
•
The range of motion of accessories such as powered seating
and front riggings.
Great care must be used to ensure all wiring is properly routed and
secured to the wheelchair to minimize risk of pinched or damaged
wiring and to prevent loose wiring from snagging on objects around
the wheelchair.
Before attempting to reposition, remove or replace any existing
wiring, note the position and orientation of the following:
•
The wire routing along the wheelchair frame.
•
Location of tie-wraps and any other hardware securing the
wiring to the wheelchair.
•
Location of wiring connections.
Wiring should only be repositioned if necessary to make an
adjustment to fit the wheelchair to the user or if needed to add a new
option. Otherwise wiring must be reinstalled, routed and secured in
the original path along the wheelchair frame.
