PG DRIVES TECHNOLOGY                   S-DRIVE – APPENDIX - A 
SK76745/10           
8.16  Use in combination with other devices 
This requirement does not apply directly to S-Drive products. PGDT should be contacted for guidance if the scooter manufacturer 
intends other equipment to be connected to the scooter’s battery set. 
9.1  Isolation 
S-Drive products meet the isolation requirements. 
9.2  Non-insulated components 
Correctly installed S-Drive products do not give access to non-insulated components. 
9.3  Circuit protection 
Correctly installed S-Drive products will meet these requirements. The scooter manufacturer deals with protection of battery wiring 
and determines the maximum charging current. If the S-Drive is included in the charging current path, the maximum charging 
current specified by the scooter manufacturer should not exceed the limit set for the product by PGDT. 
9.4  Stalled condition 
S-Drive products meet the requirements relating to the stall test. The second edition of the standard includes an extended (thirty 
minute)  stall  test.  The  scooter  manufacturer  should  conduct  this  test  to  assess  whether  any  changes  to  battery  protection  or 
controller settings are required. 
9.5  Surface temperatures 
S-Drive products should not be installed within the specified occupant reach space without other compensating provisions (e.g. 
a guard). 
9.6  Disconnection of battery 
Not applicable to S-Drive products. 
9.7  Resistance to ignition 
S-Drive products have a metal enclosure. Since it is non-polymeric the requirement does not apply to it. S-Drive products should 
not be installed within 50 mm of any battery terminal, and they do not contain any lamp housings. 
The tiller interface, charger/programmer and solenoid brake connectors, as fitted at present, have a flame retardancy rating of 
UL 94 V-2. The same rating applies to the D50319 connector kit supplied for use with the S-Drive. Corrective action is being taken. 
Part numbers for Molex Mini-Fit,Jr™ connectors with UL 94 V-0 rating are shown in the following table: 
 
 
The scooter manufacturer should confirm the flame-retardancy rating of the connectors used with S-Drive products. 
10.1  User interface 
Not applicable to S-Drive products. 
10.2  Operating forces 
Not applicable to S-Drive products. 
10.3  Display position 
This requirement does not apply directly to S-Drive products. However, displays fitted by the scooter manufacturer for use with the 
S-Drive should conform to the requirement.
