20.3 Overload protection While travelling downhill, the generated power is diverted into the storage batteries – the drive motors work like a generator in this case. If you have fully charged your PR 25 before travelling downhill, the security system switches to emergency stop in order to avoid damage to the electrical system (control, electronics, etc.).
20.4 Connection option for auxiliary units The PARAVAN PR 25 offers the option of connecting different auxiliary units with a voltage of 12 volts or 24 volts to the PR 25 on-board power supply. If you require special equipment, e.g. a respirator, for this connection, please contact PARAVAN GmbH. The external connections are individually adjusted for the respective consumer and the cable harness is cut to size or moved in position.
20.5 The lighting installation The PARAVAN PR 25 is equipped with a lighting installation featuring LED technology that is fully approved for road traffic. Due to the LED lamps used, the wearing out or maintenance of this installation is practically impossible/unnecessary.
20.6 Maintenance-free storage batteries Your PARAVAN power wheelchair is equipped with high quality and powerful storage batteries. These maintenance-free storage batteries are completely sealed. Refilling or topping up the electrolyte (battery acid) is therefore not intended or possible. The charging status or the capacity of the storage batteries can be read on the control panel.
20.7 Information regarding storage batteries Sealed storage batteries must never be opened. Opening the storage batteries will result in irreparable damage to them and could lead to a complete power failure. See section “23.1 Handling sealed storage batteries” The storage batteries must be recharged after every use (even if they have only been minimally discharged) with the supplied charger.
20.8 Charging the PR 25 Only charge the storage batteries with the charger supplied by us. Care tips: > Always ensure that the storage batteries have full charging capacity. > Daily overnight charging is recommended. > The PR 25 should be charged for at least 8 hours uninterrupted. >...
20.8.1 Procedure for charging the PR 25 > Turn off the PR 25. > Put the charger on a heat-insensitive surface, e.g. on the footrests. > Put the charger plug into the charging socket on the control panel. > Connect the charger to the power supply &...
20.8.2 The charger The purpose of the charger is to automatically charge the storage batteries. The charger is housed in splash-proof sheet-steel casing. It complies with the guidelines and protection requirements of the: > Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC, > Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2004/108/EC. Read the operating instructions included separately with the charger.
