SK76745/10
Programming should only be conducted by healthcare professionals with in-depth knowledge of
PGDT electronic controllers. Incorrect programming could result in an unsafe setup of a scooter
for the user. PGDT accepts no liability for losses of any kind if the programming of the controller
is altered from factory preset values. PGDT accepts no liability for losses of any kind if the drive
or stability characteristics of the scooter are altered without prior notification and discussion
with PGDT.
1.3 Soft-Stop
If the version of S-Drive you have has the Soft-Stop function enabled (see controller data sheet), you must ensure that the
emergency stopping distance is within the distance specified for the country in which the scooter will be used. For countries
requiring CE marking this is as specified in EN12184.
1.4 Other Information
You must provide a diagram in the scooter user handbook showing the user controls. In addition, you should include a brief
specification of operating supply voltage range and operating temperature range.
2 Immobilizing the Scooter
2.1 Prevention of Unauthorized Use
Some markets require the scooter to have a means of preventing unauthorized use. This typically means fitting a keyswitch which
can prevent the controller from being switched on.
2.2 Charger Interlock
ISO 7176-14 requires you to provide a means of preventing the use of the scooter while the batteries are being charged. The S-
Drive includes 3 inhibit inputs any of which can be used to provide this function. PG Drives Technology recommend either Inhibit 1
or Inhibit 3 for this function. Refer to section 4.11 and 4.12 for details.
Contact PGDT if you need advice.
The scooter manufacturer is responsible for providing a means of preventing the use of the
scooter while the batteries are being charged. PGDT accepts no liability for losses of any kind
arising from failure to comply with this condition.
