The signal coming from the push rim is applied
longer than one wheel rotation.
A foreign object may have become wedged in the
push rim. Remove this foreign object.
Defect in the wheel, repair required.
A major fault of the system is present if error messages other than those shown in the list are signaled. The e-
motion wheel is then no longer operational and must be sent to the Alber factory for inspection. Do not operate
or use the e-motion wheel if a fault exists to prevent damage or personal injury.
6. Power stages and stored parameters
6.1 Power stages
Individual driving parameters can be assigned individually to each e-motion wheel to possibly adapt a wheel to the particular physical limi-
tations or restrictions of the wheelchair driver. With regards to this topic, please contact your specialist dealer.
The standard version of the e-motion is equipped with only one power stage. Both power stages can only be utilized with a remote control
which is offered as optional accessory and can be retrofitted at any time.
Power stage 1 (factory setting)
A beep sounds when switching on the wheel, the motor output is 50 % of the maximum possible output of the e-motion.
This power stage is primarily recommended for driving indoors. This results in low current consumption, the battery packs are preserved
and achieve a greater range per battery charge than in power stage 2.
Power stage 2 (factory settings, only in connection with optional remote control)
Two beeps sound when switching on the wheel, the motor output is 80 % of the maximum possible output of the e-motion.
This power stage is primarily recommended for driving outdoors. The current consumption is higher than in
power stage 1 resulting in a correspondingly lower range per battery charge.
6.2 Power assistance
To start moving an e-motion wheel, gently, smoothly and uniformly move the push rim mounted forward (to drive forward) or backward (to
drive backward). This movement requires a certain amount of force in the hands of the wheelchair driver. Do not move push rim suddenly,
abruptly or in a jerky manner. After the e-motion starts moving, only a small, gentle push of the push rim of the e-motion wheel is suffi-
cient to keep the wheel in motion.
Programming is done by the specialist dealer authorized by Alber who will also be glad to educate you on additional options of the indi-
vidual adjustment of the e-motion.
6.3 Rollback delay (only with e-motion wheels with remote control)
If your e-motion is equipped with remote control, it will have a rollback delay that can be activated. This helps the wheelchair driver to
drive up slopes and ramps by preventing the wheelchair from rolling back while repositioning the hands after a push motion.
