1 Documentation
1.1 newVSI Operation
Study Chapters 1,3 and 4. It is important that the operation information in these chapters is supplied with the wheelchair, either as
part of the wheelchair 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 TÜV
(Germany), ISO7176-14 and EN12184.
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.
It is the manufacturers responsibility to program the controller to suit the vehicle model and
ensure safe operation in compliance with relevant legal requirements over the whole of the
operating range. PGDT accepts no liability for losses of any kind due to incorrect programming of
the newVSI controller. Refer to Chapter 3 for Programming details.
The wheelchair must stop within the maximum distance specified for the country in which the wheelchair will be used. TÜV
Product Service (Germany) specify the distance to be as stated in EN12184.
If users with particular disabilities need very low braking rates and this results in a longer stopping distance, the maximum speed
must be re-programmed so that the stopping distance requirement is satisfied.
State in the wheelchair 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 wheelchair 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 wheelchair. Perform suitable tests to establish which
programming restrictions are needed to prevent instability. State any programming restrictions in the wheelchair user handbook.
State in the wheelchair 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
wheelchair for the user. PG Drives Technology accepts no liability for losses of any kind if the
programming of the controller is altered from factory pre-set values. PGDT accepts no liability for
losses of any kind if the drive or stability characteristics of the chair are altered without prior
notification and discussion with PGDT.
1.3 Soft-Stop
The newVSI has a programmable value called Soft Stop Rate which sets the emergency stopping distance. You must ensure that
the emergency stopping distance is within the distance specified for the country in which the wheelchair will be used. TÜV
Product Service (Germany) specify the distance to be as stated in EN12184.
1.4 Other Information
You must provide a diagram in the wheelchair user handbook showing the user controls and the main features of the controller.
In addition, you should include a brief specification of operating supply voltage range and operating temperature range.
