4 Displays on the operating and control panel
4.1 Battery charging display
The battery charging display shows you the current battery charging condition.
It is divided into 10 colour-coded diodes (3 x red, 4 x yellow, 3x green).
If an individual diode goes out, this shows the reduced battery charging condition and therefore the reducing driving range of the mobility device.
Display meanings:
All diodes illuminate full driving range = batteries completely charged
three red diodes illuminate reduced driving range = recharge batteries at end of journey
three red diodes blinking extremely low driving range = recharge batteries as soon as possible
15
two red diodes blinking battery reserve = charge batteries immediately!
The driving range including battery reserve is extremely low. After a certain drive time the electronics system switches the drive off automatically and brings the mobility device to a standstill = overdischarge protection.
NOTE:
The possible driving range of your mobility device is dependent on the condition of the route (flat or hilly) and your driving style.
4.2 Drive mode and drive mode display
The programmable drive mode summarises the most important drive characteristics such as the mobility device forward, backward and bend speed.
The drive mode has 5 stages as set at the works:
Stage 1 = very slow drive behaviour reduced maximum driving speed to
Stage 5 = dynamic drive behaviour highest possible maximum driving speed
The drive mode display (1) shows which stage you are currently in.
16
NOTE:
The ACS controller electronics is programmed with standard values in our works.
Your INVACARE® dealer can carry out programming tailored to fit your requirements.
4.3 Displaying status information
The ON/OFF LED is designed as an error message display = status display (1)
If this display blinks, it means there is a fault in the electric equipment.
The cause of the fault is displayed through the use of a blink code. (Refer to "Error code list" for error codes).
