Baery Charger
The external charger has been designed to charge two 12V
Gel type baeries connected in series (= 24 V).
The chargers have features which prevent hazards or
accidents occurring as a result of connecng baeries the
wrong way round, overheang caused by fault condions or
aempng to charge wrong voltage baeries.
The majority of charger sizes are electrically double
insulated and no earth connecon is required. Some larger
sizes may be electrically earthed and this will be clearly
stated on the label.
If your charger has been specied for use in Connental
Europe it will contain a European two pin plug which does
not have a fuse. In this case the fuse is located in the fascia
panel of the charger.
Country specic informaon: UK
The 3 pin UK mains input plug contains a replaceable fuse.
The rang of this fuse is shown on the charger label.
DANGER!
• As with all mains powered electrical equipment, always
replace blown fuses with the same type and size of fuse as
specied.
• Fing of dierent fuses can result in an increased re risk,
damage to the charger or failure of the charger to operate
properly.
6.3 The range of your vehicle:
Please refer to the specicaon tables at the back of this
manual for Energy Consumpon, (Maximum Range),
informaon.
Most manufacturers of mobility products state the range of
their vehicles either in the sales literature or within the Owner’s
Manual. The range stated somemes diers from manufacturer
to manufacturer even though the baery size is the same.
Sunrise Medical measure the range of their vehicles in a
consistent and uniform manner, but variances sll occur due to
motor eciencies and overall product load weight.
The range gures are calculated to I.S.O. Standard 7176. Part 4:
Wheelchair Energy Consumpon Theorecal Range.
This test is carried out in controlled condions with new, fully
charged baeries, on a level test surface and a user weight of
100 kg. The range gures stated should be seen as a theorecal
maximum and could be reduced if any single, or combinaon, of
the following circumstances occur:
• User weight heavier than 100 kg.
• Baeries whose age and condion are less than perfect.
• The terrain is dicult e.g. very hilly, sloping, muddy ground,
gravel, grass, snow and ice.
• The vehicle climbs kerbs regularly.
• The ambient temperature is very hot or very cold.
• Incorrect tyre pressures in one or more tyres.
• Lots of start/stop driving.
• Also thick pile carpets within the home can aect range.
• Use of addional power consumpon opons (e.g. light,
actuators, etc.)
The baery sizes available on each Sunrise Medical product
should give sucient range to cope with the majority of
customer’s lifestyles.
