DIAGNOSTICS
THE DL.40 CONTROLLER HAS FULL ON BOARD DIAGNOSTICS, WHICH WILL IN THE
EVENT OF A SYSTEM MALFUNCTION , IDENTIFY FAULTS QUICKLY AND EASILY.
Diagnostic information is provided to enable a fault in the system to be identified and
localised to a major component: eg: motor. The following system diagnostics are provided:
Flash code sequence
1) Low battery voltage fault
2) High battery voltage fault
3) Left motor (or connection) fault
4) Right motor (or connection) fault
5) Left or right park brake (or connection) fault
6) Controller fault
7) Motor stalled or joystick out of neutral time out
In the event of a system fault, the diagnostic indicators are displayed by the battery gauge
flashing. Fault are encoded as one (for low battery voltage fault) to seven (for a motor stalled
or joystick out of neutral time out fault) and displayed by flashing all LED’s the number of
times give by the fault code. The flash sequence (one to seven) is following by a long of
period (2 seconds).
TROUBLESHOOTING
The following is a check list to assist with diagnosing an electrical fault on a wheelchair. If
after consulting the check list the person persists then an authorised service agent should be
contracted.
PROBLEM
CHECK/ACTION
0. The On status indicator/ Battery Gauge
1. Check the battery connector to the
does not light when the controller is switched on
controller is securely plugged into the
connector from the battery
2. Check the batteries themselves are
connected correctly. ie check the
battery terminals
3. Check the batteries are not flat
4. Check the battery supply fuse or
circuit breaker
1. Low battery voltage fault
1. Check the battery connector to the
controller is securely plugged into the
connector from the battery
2. High battery voltage fault
1. Check the battery charger. Is it over
charging the batteries? Is the battery
charger the right type?
