Wright accepts no liability for losses of any kind if the drive or stability characteristics of the chair are altered without prior
notification and discussion with Curtiss-Wright.
NOTE:
It is possible for wheelchair manufacturers to limit the values of speeds and accelerations that can be programmed in the
field. This facility ensures a safe-operating envelope for the wheelchair can be maintained.
1.3 SOFT-STOP
The R-net has a programmable value called Soft Stop Rate that sets the emergency stopping distance. You must ensure that the
emergency stopping distance is within the distance specified for the country in which the wheelchair will be used. TÃœV Product
Services (Germany) specify the distance to be as stated in EN12184.
1.4 OTHER INFORMATION
You must provide a diagram in the wheelchair user handbook showing the user controls and the main features of the control
system.
In addition, you should include a brief specification of operating supply voltage range and operating temperature range.
2 IMMOBILIZING THE WHEELCHAIR
2.1 PREVENTION OF UNAUTHORIZED USE
TÃœV requires that the wheelchair must have a means of preventing unauthorized use. This can be implemented as detailed in
Chapter 1 section 5.4.
