THERMAL ROLLBACK
Your Compass
™
is equipped with a safety system. A microprocessor monitors the operat-
ing 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 Compass
™
.
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.
