ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE AND WARNINGS

CAUTION: It is very important that you read this information regarding the possible effects of Electromagnetic Interference on your power chair.
Powered wheelchairs and motorized power chair may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is interfering electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such a radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones. The interference (from radio wave sources) can cause the motorized power chair to release its brakes, move by itself, or move in unintended directions. It can also permanently damage the motorized power chair control system. The intensity of the interfering EM energy can be measured in volts per meter (V/m). Each motorized power chair can resist EMI up to a certain intensity. This is called its “immunity level.” The higher the immunity level, the greater the protection will be. 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. The immunity level of this motorized power chair model is 20 V/m. 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 minimized.
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.
   **** 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, ambulances, and taxis. These usually have the antenna mounted on the outside of the vehicle.

3. Long-range transmitters and transceivers such as commercial broadcast transmitters (radio and TV broadcast antenna towers) and amateur (HAM) radios.

** Other types of hand-held devices, such as cordless phones, laptop computers, AM/FM radios, TV sets, CD players, and cassette 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 motorized power chair.
Power Chair Electromagnetic Interference：
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 power chair control system while using these devices. This can affect power chair movement and braking. Therefore, the warnings listed below are recommended to prevent possible interference with the control system of the power chair.
Warnings :** Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones can affect the power chair. Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of unintended brake release or power chair movement, which could result in serious injury.

1. Do not operate hand-held transceivers (transmitters-receivers), such as citizens band (CB) radios, or turn ON personal communication devices, such as cellular phones, while the power chair is turned ON;
2. Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try to avoid coming close to them;
3. If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the power chair OFF as soon as it is safe;
4. Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the power chair, may make it more susceptible to EMI; and
5. Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the distributor on the back cover of this manual. Note whether there is a source of EMI nearby.

Important Information

1. 20 volts per meter (V/m) is a generally achievable and useful immunity level against EMI (as of May 1994). The higher the level, the greater the protection.
2. The immunity level of this product is 20 V/m.

8.  Test the system for functionality and safety.

Operation

2.1.1 Power up / down
Note: In the unlikely event that the wheelchair is in a runaway situation, the user can press the Remote’s power button to perform an EMERGENCY STOP. See section 2.1.2 Emergency stop

| To switch ON the LiNX LE System, press the Power button. The Power button is the only user input that can activate the system.
If the system is healthy, the Status indicator (through the Power button) will light up green, and the Battery Gauge will display the current battery status. If there is a fault with the system when powering up, the status indicator will indicate the fault with a series of red flashes (see section 3 Diagnostics). If the fault is one that prevents the system from driving, then the battery gauge will flash continuously.
---|---
| To switch OFF the system, press the Power button; the system will power down and the Status indicator will switch off.
The Power button is also used to perform an EMERGENCY STOP. See next section.

See also: 2.1.9 The status indicator
2.1.2 Emergency stop
If the user needs to stop the wheelchair quickly, the Power button can be pressed to perform an EMERGENCY STOP. The wheelchair will come to a halt quickly; the rate is set by the Emergency Deceleration parameter.
** See also: If this parameter is set too high, the user can lose balance or fall out of the chair.
2.1.3 Drive inhibit indication**
Drive inhibit mode is indicated by the battery gauge with a right-to-left chase sequence.
The chase sequence starts with the green LED on the righthand side, and one- by-one, each LED will switch on and then off. When the sequence completes at the left-most red LED, it begins again at the right-hand side.
The chase sequence continues until the error condition has been cleared.

2.1.4 OONAPU
OONAPU (“Out Of Neutral At Power Up”) is a safety feature that prevents accidental movement of the wheelchair, either when powering up, or when the wheelchair comes out of an inhibit state.
If the LiNX LE System is turned on (or comes out of an inhibit state) while the joystick is not in the centre position, an OONAPU warning is displayed. During an OONAPU warning, the battery gauge LEDs will flash continually to alert the user, and the chair will not drive. If the  joystick is returned to the centre position within five seconds, the warning will clear and thewheelchair will drive normally.
However, if the joystick remains out of neutral for longer than five seconds, an OONAPU error will occur; the error is displayed by the Status indicator flashing red, and the chair will not  drive. To clear the error, return the joystick to the neutral position and power the unit off and then on again.

3. Error indication
2.1.5 The joystick

The joystick controls the direction and speed of the wheelchair.
When the joystick is deflected from the centre position, the wheelchair will move in the direction of the joystick movement.
The speed of the wheelchair is proportional to the joystick deflection, so that the further the joystick is moved from the centre position, the faster the wheelchair will travel.
The joystick can also be used to wake up the system in sleep mode.
2.1.6 Controlling maximum speed

The speed dial allows the user to limit the maximum speed of the wheelchair (that is, the speed when the joystick is fully deflected) to suit their preference and environment.
The dial offers 10 discrete steps between the lowest speed (dial set to the left) and the highest speed (dial set to the right).
As a visual reminder, a speed symbol (shown left) is positioned just below the speed dial to indicate the low and high positions of the speed dial.
2.1.7 The horn The Horn button is located above the Power button. Press the Horn but- ton to sound the horn. The horn will sound for as long as the Horn button is pressed.
2.1.8 The battery gauge
The battery gauge comprises five different LEDs (1 x RED, 2 x AMBER, 2 x GREEN), situated above the Remote’s Horn button. The number of LEDs lit depends on the status of the battery, as shown below.
The battery gauge LEDs are also used to display charging information. See section 2.2 Battery charging for more details.

connectors). The LiNX Communications Bus loom plugs directly into this socket, providing the Remote with both power and communication
to the power module.
---|---

The lock function
The lock function is used, primarily, to restrict who can use the system, but also can help prevent unintentional use of the controls for when the system is not required for any length of time.
When a system is locked (see below), the system is powered down, and the user controls are not responsive. If the power button is pressed when the system is locked, the locked status is displayed to the user by the Battery Gauge.
To unlock the system, an unlock sequence must be performed (see below) by the user within a specific timeframe. If the sequence is not performed correctly, within the timeframe, the system remains locked.

To lock the system, press and hold the Power button for 4 seconds.
When entering the locked state, the battery gauge will indicate the transition by flashing LEDs 1, 3, and 5 (far left, middle, and far right) 3 times.
To unlock the system, press the Power button once, and then, press the Horn button twice – the Horn button must be pressed twice within 10 seconds of pressing the Power button.
If the user implements the unlock sequence incorrectly, or the Power button is pressed again before the unlock sequence is complete, the system will return to the locked state.
During an unlock attempt, the battery gauge will indicate the system is in a Locked state by flashing LEDs 1, 3, and 5 (far left, middle, and far right) until either the system is powered off, unlocked, or the Sequence Timeout is reached.

2.2 Battery charging
Plug the battery charger into the Remote’s XLR socket.
The Battery Gauge will indicate the system is being charged by cycling between a left-to-right chase sequence, and then displaying the approximate battery charge state at the end of the chase sequence.
Driving is prevented (inhibited) while the system is being charged.
The LE system does not have to be powered up when charging the battery, however, if it is not powered up, then the battery gauge will not display the charging state/ chase sequence.

Warning:
The maximum charging current for the LiNX LE System is 6A.
The wheelchair manufacturer must specify an appropriate battery charger for the batteries used in the wheelchair.
The wheelchair manufacturer must also specify the maximum current of any battery chargers to be used with the controller and warn against using battery chargers of higher current ratings.
The battery charger must have over-current protection in the form of a non- resettable fuse.
It is the responsibility of the wheelchair manufacturer to manage the risks of battery over-charging and any related gas emissions.
To protect the wheelchair wiring from over currents while charging the batteries, chargers must have the ability to reduce their current output when electrically shorted.
