Invacare® LiNX
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.
WARNING!
Risk of Injury or Damage due to Electrical Shorts
Continuous contact between user and cable can result in
frayed cable jacket. This increases risk of electric shorts.
— Avoid routing the cable where it will come into
continuous contact with the end user.
When installing the bus cable, avoid undue straining of the cable and
connection points. Flexing of the cable should be minimised wherever
possible, to extend service life and minimize the risk of accidental
damage.

NOTICE!
Regular bending can damage bus cable
— Use of a cable chain to support the bus cable, where the
cable is subject to regular cyclic bending, is
recommended. The maximum stretch of the chain
should be less than the length of the bus cable. The
force applied to flex the cable should never exceed 10 N.
Appropriate life testing should be carried out to determine /
confirm the expected service life and inspection and
maintenance schedule.
3.3 Connecting the Remote
CAUTION!
Risk of Unintended Stops
If the plug of the remote cable is damaged, the remote cable
may come loose while driving. The remote may lose power,
could suddenly power down and force an unintended stop.
— Always check the plug of the remote for damage.
Contact your provider immediately in case of a damage.
NOTICE!
The remote plug and connector socket fit together in one
way only.
— Do not force them together.
1. Lightly push to connect the plug of the remote cable and the
connector socket with an audible click.
