7.2 Testing the electro-mechanical parking brake
Note
This test should only be carried out on mobility aids with conventional motor/transmission units.
CAUTION!
Material damage can be caused to the electronic module due to short-circuits in the
electro-mechanical brake.
• NEVER connect an electro-mechanical brake to an intact electronic module with a short-circuit!
• Always replace short-circuited brakes immediately.
Note
A defective motor can damage the power module, but a defective power module cannot camage
the motor.
Requirements:
• digital multimeter with resistance measurement
• Use the remote to identify which motor is possibly defective, as described in chapter 6.2.
• Switch the electronics OFF on the remote.
• Remove the rear cover, as described in chapter 8.1.1.
• Take exact note of the positions of all cables and the sockets that they are connected to. Mark
the connectors and sockets or take a photograph with a digital camera.
• Disconnect the motor plug (1) of the motor to be tested from the power module.
