5.1 General
Study the data sheet for the control system to identify:
• The output current, ratings and restrictions
• The connector pin assignments
Recommendations for the cross-sectional area, ratings and materials for wiring are
given in the table in section 4.2. These depend on the application. You are responsible
for establishing the suitability of the particular wiring arrangement used on the
wheelchair. PGDT can make general recommendations for wiring for VR2 control
systems, but PGDT accepts no responsibility for the wiring arrangement used.
Make sure that the connectors you use are reliable under all operating conditions
and correctly wired with no short circuits. Do not use unsuitable components - it may
result in poor wheelchair reliability.
The chair manufacturer is responsible for establishing the
suitability of the particular wiring arrangements used on
the wheelchair, for both normal use and stalled conditions.
PGDT can make general recommendations for wiring for
VR2 control systems, but PGDT accepts no responsibility
for, and accepts no liability for losses of any kind arising
from, the actual wiring arrangement used.
The chair manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that
only the mating connectors specified by PGDT on the control
systems specific data sheet are used to connect to the
control system. PGDT accepts no liability for losses of any
kind arising from failure to comply with this condition.
The chair manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that
suitable connectors are used and securely mated throughout
the chair wiring system and that the workmanship
associated with the wiring system is of a good enough
quality. Failure to meet this condition could result in
intermittent operation, sudden stopping or veering, or even
create a burn or fire hazard. PGDT accepts no liability for
losses of any kind arising from failure to comply with this
condition.
