1.2 WHAT ABOUT THE ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY

All electronic instruments which transmit remote informations are generally

apparatus which emit in the environment some radio waves. These radio waves

are called " electromagnetic energy ".

The functionality of an electronic instrument can be deteriorated by this

electromagnetic energy field. It is what we call " an electromagnetic

interference". Stronger the intensity of energy is, greater the risk of bad

functional problem of the apparatus increase. This energy is measured in volt

per meter (V/m).

All motorized wheelchair are suitable to be affected by these interferences.

However, current technology makes it possible to immunize them against these

risks. It is what is called their electromagnetic level of immunity to the

interference, measured also in volt per meter (V/m).

20 V/m is a level of immunity which offer a good protection against the

electromagnetic interferences. The electronic parts of the R-NET electronic from

do meet standard directive IEC 1000-4-3.

To avoid electromagnetic interferences, it is important to read

and respect the following warning section, before to use your

wheelchair for the first time.
