Introduction
Encoders allow chairs maintain a straight line while
driving on uneven terrain and allows the usage of
Switch Controls without the normal veering of other
products. It does this by 5 individual Hall Effect Sensors
that will detect 1 degree per 360 degree rotation of the
wheel by means of the Encoder. Encoders are simple
to add on and operate with our Delphi Electronics. The
following details will show you
what parts are necessary and how it plugs into the
module as well as programming.
Motor Encoders
Fig. 1.47 shows the Encoder mechanism and the
Plastic coupler which connects to both Motor Shaft and
Encoder Assembly. This procedure is done by removing
the Brake cap and using the Same 3 Screws that were
used initially.
Your next step is to plug the Encoder Plug into the con-
trol Module (Fig 1.48) with Symbol seen in Fig 1.49.
