4.1 General information on setup

The tasks described in this chapter are intended to be
performed by trained and authorized service technicians
for initial setup. They are not intended to be performed
by the user.

4.2 Wiring

For safe and reliable operation, the installation of looms and
cables must follow the basic principles of power wiring.
Cables must be secured between their connectors and any
point of flexing so that flexing forces are not transferred
to the connectors.
CAUTION!
Risk of injury and damage to the remote
Damage to cables increases wiring impedance. A
damaged cable can potentially produce localized
heat, sparks or arcing and become a source of
ignition to surrounding flammable material.
– The installation must ensure that all power
cables, including the bus cable, are protected
against damage and potential contact with
flammable materials.
20
Risk of damage
Cables and remote modules can get damaged if
not positioned properly.
– Route and position cables and remote modules
so that they are free from physical strain, abuse
or damage, such as snagging, crushing, impacts
from external objects, pinching or abrasion.
Adequate strain relief must be provided for all cables, and
the mechanical limits of the cables and looms must not be
exceeded.
Ensure that connectors and connector sockets are shielded
from water splashes and water ingress. Cables with female
connectors should face horizontally or downwards. Ensure
all connectors are fully mated.
CAUTION!
Risk of injury and damage to the remote
Connector pins on cables connected to the power
module can still be live even when the system
is off.
– Cables with live pins should be connected,
restrained or covered so that they are not
exposed to human contact or materials that
could cause electrical shorts.
Make sure that the cables do not extend beyond the
wheelchair to prevent them from being caught or damaged
by external objects. Take particular care on wheelchairs with
movable structures such as a seat lifter.
