- Page 21 4 Troubleshooting 4 Troubleshooting 4.1 General Information on Troubleshooting The following information is intended to support you recognize and rectify faults on the remote. In case you require assistance, contact your authorised Invacare provider. 4.2 Fault Indication When a fault occurs, a flash code is displayed on both the primary remote module and the secondary remote module. A flash code, which is displayed on the status indicator, is a number of flashes separated by a 1.6 second gap; the number of flashes depends on the fault. For example, one flash represents flash code one; two flashes represents flash code two, and so on. Faults that affect the safety of the power wheelchair cause the power wheelchair to stop, while less critical ones are indicated but allow the power wheelchair to continue driving. Some faults automatically clear when the fault condition is removed (non-latched) while others are latched and must be cleared by turning the controller off, waiting five seconds, then turning the system on again. 4.3 Fault Codes and Diagnosis Codes The status indicator is yellow when remote is active. If there is a fault detected by the LiNX system, the status indicator A flashes yellow. The number of flashes indicates the type of fault. The table below describes the fault indication, and a few possible actions that can be taken to rectify the problem. The actions listed are not in any particular order and are suggestions only.
