S-DRIVE - INSTALLATION PG DRIVES TECHNOLOGY
SK76745/10
8.1.3 S200A
8.1.3 Orientation
The recommended mounting orientation is such that the connectors must be lowermost. The function of the controller is not
sensitive to mounting orientation. The electronics compartment of the controller has an IPX5 ingress protection rating.
8.1.4 Position
The controller must be mounted in a position where it is not exposed to levels of water, dust, shock or vibration above those
expected on a mobility scooter application. The controller has been tested in accordance with IS07176/14 with respect to these
conditions.
The controller has excellent thermal performance but, to improve this further, the baseplate may be secured against a metal
part of the scooter chassis. To provide even better thermal performance, a non-silicone thermally conductive paste or pad may
be applied between the baseplate and the scooter chassis.
Contact PGDT if you need further advice.
Under strenuous driving conditions it is possible for metal sections of the controller’s case to
exceed 41°C (106°F) in temperature. Under such conditions, the scooter manufacturer should
ensure that either the user cannot touch these surfaces, or that the user is warned not to touch
these surfaces. While 41°C (106°F) is very close to normal body temperature, prolonged contact
with surfaces above 41°C (106 °F) can result in burns to the skin. PGDT accepts no liability for
losses of any kind arising from failure to comply with this condition.
8.1.5 Cables
The cables to the controller must be routed and secured in such a way as to prevent damage to them, for example by cutting or
crushing.
It is suggested that the cables are mounted so that they loop up to the S-Drive, therefore minimizing the flow of moisture into the
connectors.
