OPERATION Cont.
THERMAL ROLLBACK
Your
Alante Jr.
™ is equipped with a safety system. A microprocessor monitors the
operating temperatures of the controller. In the event of excessive heat occurring in the
controller, the controller will decrease the speed of your chair. This is done to reduce
the load on the electrical system and allow the components to dissipate heat. The
controller will automatically set the chair’s speed back to full normal when the
operating temperature returns to normal levels.
THE MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER
The main circuit breaker is another safety feature incorporated into your
Alante Jr.
™. This device monitors the amount of current being drawn from the batteries when
the chair is in use. When the motors are heavily strained and too high a current
draw is being placed on the batteries, the main circuit breaker will trip and bring
your chair to a stop. The main circuit breaker is located under the battery box
handle.
RESET BUTTON
If the main circuit breaker trips, please wait for approximately 1 minute and
then push the reset button to reset the main circuit breaker. See Figure 25.
Figure 25
NOTE: Usually, the thermal rollback feature is more sensitive than the main
circuit breaker. We recommend that you turn off the power to the chair
and wait for five minutes when the chair suddenly loses speed or power.
Doing so will allow the overheated electrical components to cool to their
normal operating temperatures.
