Appendix B
– Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) From Radio Wave Sources
Powered Wheelchairs 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 wheelchair to release its brakes,
move by itself, or move in unintended directions. It can also permanently damage the powered
wheelchair’s control system. The intensity of the interfering EM energy can be measured in volts
per meter (V/m). Each powered wheelchair can resist EMI up to a certain intensity. This is called
its
“immunity 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 wheelchair model as
shipped, with no further modification, has an unknown immunity. There are a number of sources
of relatively intense electromagnetic fields in the everyday environment. Some of these sources
are obvious and easy to avoid. Others are not apparent and exposure is unavoidable. However,
we believe that by following the warnings listed below, your risk to EMI will be minimised.
The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types:
1)
Hand held portable transceivers (transmitters-receivers) with the antenna mounted directly on
the transmitting unit. Examples include: citizens band (CB)
radios, “walkie talkie,” security, fire
and police transceivers, cellular telephones, and other personal communication devices.
**NOTE: Some cellular telephones and similar devices transmit signals while they are ON, even
when not being used;
2)
Medium-range mobile transceivers, such as those used in police cars, fire trucks, ambulance,
and taxis. These usually have the antenna mounted on the outside of the vehicle; and
3)
Long range transmitters and transceivers, such as commercial broadcast transmitters (radio
and TV broadcast antenna towers) and amateur (HAM) radios.
NOTE: Other types of hand-held devices, such as cordless phones, laptop computers, AM/FM
radios, TV sets, CD players, and small appliances such as electric shavers and hair dryers, so
far as we know are not likely to cause EMI problems to your powered wheelchair.
Powered Wheelchair Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves closer to the transmitting
antenna (source), the EM fields from hand-held radio wave sources (transceivers) are of special
concern. It is possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy very close to the
powered
wheelchair’s control system while using these devices. This can affect powered
wheelchair movement and braking. Therefore, the warnings listed below are recommended to
prevent possible interference with the control system of the powered wheelchair.
WARNINGS
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV stations, amateur radio
(HAM) transmitters, two way radios and cellular phones can affect powered wheelchairs.
Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of unintended brake release or
powered wheelchair movement which could result in serious injury.
