Braking Assistant; Important Information - Sunrise Medical Quickie Attitude Directions For Use Manual

Braking assistant:

Fig.3.9
Before travelling, if you wish, the braking assistant can be
activated. This supports you when braking and ensures energy
recovery to the battery (if this is not charged above the limit of
90 % or the temperature is not below 0 °C).
To activate braking assistance, in the start menu (see section
3.2.2), press button [2] on the controller to move to the next
sub menu. There, select "menu" and in the next selection
screen that appears, select "braking assistant".
When selecting "on", a new menu item opens in which you can
preselect using buttons [1] and [3] of the controller, any speed
from which motor-supported braking should take place.
Settings between 10 and 25 km/h are possible. Once you have
set the required speed, go back to the start menu by pressing
button [1] of the controller several times.
If you wish to deactivate the braking assistant, repeat the
process and select "off"
instead of "on". Please ensure that when the braking assistant
is deactivated, no automatic braking or energy recovery to the
battery takes place – except when selecting manual
recuperation (see section 3.2.5).

Important information:

When the battery is fully charged, the braking assistant can in
fact be activated, however, not actively used. This is only
possible at a battery capacity of < 90 %. For this reason, in
field [11] of the display, the symbol of the fully charged battery
(a)
[a] is shown instead of the symbol for the activated braking
assistant [b].
The sMMI software now waits until the battery is partially
discharged, then automatically switches on the braking
assistant and changes to symbol [b].
Important information on how the braking assistant works
If you have pre-set, for instance, 20 km/h, the system
maintains this maximum speed irrespective of higher or lower
gradients, provided that the incline is also steep enough to
achieve the set maximum speed. The drive achieves this until
it reaches the maximum motor torque.
If this is exceeded, the braking action gradually subsides and
you need to brake yourself so as not to get faster.
Whilst the motor regulates the vehicle speed under the
conditions described above, power is fed into the battery,
charging it.
As soon as the pedals are pushed, the braking assistant
automatically deactivates. It reactivates if the pedals are not
pushed any more and therefore no force is acting on the chain
or on the force sensor in the wheel hub. However, the assistant
is only effective if, once adjusting the pedalling, the speed is
not more than 25 km/h. By manually braking the assistant can
be taken back to the speed window where it automatically
activates.
