Permobil C400 Corpus 3G Lowrider
Charging
This occurs when the control system detects that a charger has been connected to either inhibit contact 1 or inhibit
contact 3. Read more about connectors in section 2.3.
The screen for battery charging is displayed when a charger is connected.
Each time this occurs it is registered in the system log.
When using an integral charger:
• Disconnect the charger from the mains.
When using an external charger:
• Disconnect the charger from the power wheelchair.
If the error persists after the charger has been disconnected, the joystick module may be defective. Read more in Re-
pairing defective units, Page 120.
Basic test
L
CAUTION!
The tests described are minimum recommendations. It is the responsibility of the repair engineer(s) to perform other
tests on the basis of the original error source and the wheelchair model. The necessary information on other tests is
available in the wheelchair service manual. Permobil cannot be held responsible for losses of any kind that may
arise when these tests are conducted, or that arise as a consequence of further relevant tests not being conducted.
These tests should be conducted in an open space, and some kind of clamping device, such as a safety belt,
should always be used. Permobil cannot be held responsible for losses for any kind arising due to these
recommendations not being observed.
After a repair has been completed, the following test should be performed. These are minimum recommendations. De-
pending on what the original error source was, further tests may be necessary.
Basic inspection
Check that all contacts are properly connected.
• Check all cables and contacts to ensure there is no visible damage.
• Check that the rubber gaiter around the base of the joystick is not damaged. Inspect the gaiter visually. It should not
be subjected to manual handling.
• Ensure that all components of the control system are securely installed.
• Do not over-tighten the mounting screws.
Brake test
These tests should be carried out on an even surface with at least one meter of free space around the wheelchair.
• Switch on the control system.
• Check that the screen remains on after start-up.
• Bring the joystick slowly forwards until you hear the parking brakes functioning. In some cases the wheelchair may
begin to move.
• Release the joystick immediately. You must hear both parking brakes functioning within 2 seconds.
• Repeat the test three times, bringing the joystick slowly backwards, to the left and to the right.
Test run
Set the highest permitted speed to the lowest value and run the wheelchair in all directions while checking that it runs
smoothly and is easy to maneuver.
Repeat the test with the speed control set to the highest possible value.
Gradient test
L
WARNING!
When this test is conducted, an additional person must be present in order to prevent the wheelchair tipping over
backwards.
Run the wheelchair forwards up its steepest permitted gradient. Release the joystick when the wheelchair is on the up-
ward slope and check that the wheelchair stops and that the brakes function as they should without the front wheels
lifting from the ground.
