ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI)
CAUTION: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS
INFORMATION REGARDING THE POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE ON YOUR POWERED
WHEELCHAIR.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI) FROM RADIO WAVE
SOURCES
Powered wheelchairs and motorized scooters (in this text, both will be
referred to as powered wheelchairs) may be susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI), which is interfering electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted
from sources such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM)
transmitters, two way radios, and cellular phones. The interference (from
radio wave sources) can cause the powered wheelchair to release its brakes,
move by itself, or move in unintended directions. It can also permanently
damage the powered wheelchair's control system. The intensity of the
interfering EM energy can be measured in volts per meter (V/m). Each
powered wheelchair can resist EMI up to a certain intensity. This is called its
"immunity level." The higher the immunity level, the greater the protection.
At this time, current technology is capable of achieving at least a 20 V/m
immunity level, which would provide useful protection from the more
common sources of radiated EMI. This powered wheelchair model as shipped,
MKIV - RII electronics, has an immunity level of unknown.
There are a number of sources of relatively intense electromagnetic fields in
the everyday environment. Some of these sources are obvious and easy to
avoid. Others are not apparent and exposure is unavoidable. However, we
believe that by following the warnings listed, your risk to EMI will be minimized.
