Electric Mobility Rascal Mobility Vippi - Technical Information

Warning! Even with the immunity level of 20
volts/meter, certain precautions must be followed
to ensure the scooter will not be affected by
outside electro-magnetic sources.
Technical Information
Regarding EMI
Important Technical Inf
ormation regarding
Electro-
Magnetic Interference (EMI). Please
read the following section thoroughly.
The intensity of interference from Electro-
Magnetic
energy is measured in volts per meter (v/m), which
refers to the strength of the electrical source (volt-
age) as it relates to the distance away from the
object being considered (in meters). Resistance
of a scooter/wheelchair to certain EMI intensity is
commonly called the “immunity level”. 20
volts/meter is a generally achievable and useful
immunity leve
l against interference from radio wave
sources (the higher the immunity level, the greater
protection).
The scooter has been tested and found to meet the
required immunity level from Electro-Magnetic
Interference (20v/m): the recommended density of
interference from electromagnetic energy.
• Do not operate devices such as CB radios or
mobile phones while the scooter is switched on.
• Avoid getting close to transmitter masts, such
as
television or radio masts.
•
NOTE: you may experience interference when
close to ambulance or fire
stations, or other motor
driven devices such as E-Bikes and E-Scooters.
If the scooter starts to operate by itself switch it off
and report this to the dealer.
The operation of any scooter may affect sensitive
electronic circuits such as alarm systems or
automatic doors in shops.
