8.2.2

Replacing electronic modules

Note
When replacing a REM remote in connection with a DX, ACS or ACS II electronic module, please
make sure to select the correct drive programme as described in chapter 8.2.4.
Various different types of electronic modules can be installed in connection with different remotes
in the wheelchair. The electronic modules that might be installed are described in chapter 4.2.
The procedure to replace components is described using the ACS II electronic module with an
optional lighting circuit board and optional actuator module as an example. The procedure is
identical for other electronic modules. The only difference is the position of the plug-in connections.

stability of the wheelchair!
●
Alterations to the drive programme must only be carried out by authorised Invacare® dealers!
●
Invacare® can only assume a warranty for the safe vehicle handling of the wheelchair – in

All electronic modules are supplied with a standard drive programme. If you have performed
customer-specific modifications to the drive programme, then these will need to be recreated
manually after installing the new electronic module.
