5.10 Seat Memory Position (Sedeo Ergo only)

The control system on the Q700 M/F/R has 4 predefined seat
memory positions. Each memory location has a set of factory
seat positioning presets:
1. Relax function.
2. Lie down function.
3. Seat function
There is a 4th Memory position (Custom Position) that can be
used as a customized seat position. The Seat actuators are all
working with a feedback system to track their positions and
movements.
This is important:
a. to reach the required memory position.
b. to prevent mechanical clashes of the seat.
c. to operate the actuators especially towards the memory
positions in an ergonomic, smooth and safe way.
Although there is one free programmable seat Memory
position, all predefined Memory positions, if not suitable
for the user, can be changed and customized to the needs
required.
The software takes into account the range of the available
mechanical movements and also all safety aspects.
Seat function:
The seat function as described in no.3 in the text above is a
predefined 'standard' seat position.
It also creates the possibility to always return to this 'standard'
seat position when you are using other memory positions
(Relax or Lie down). This can be achieved by pulling the
joystick backwards.

6.0 Batteries, charging and range

6.1 Batteries

Batteries are the power source for almost all of the modern
mobility products available today. The design of batteries used
in mobility products is significantly different to the batteries
used to start a car for example. Car batteries are designed
to release a large amount of power over a short period of
time, whilst mobility batteries (commonly called deep cycle
batteries) release their power evenly, over a long period of
time. Therefore, due to the lower production volumes and
increased technological requirements, mobility batteries are
typically more expensive.
Commonly two 12 volt batteries are used together in a
mobility product, giving a total voltage of 24 volts. The size
of the battery (e.g. its available power) is expressed in amps
per hour e.g. 70amp/hr. The higher the number, the bigger
the battery size, weight and, potentially, the greater the
distance you can travel. Sunrise Medical only fit as standard
maintenance free batteries into these types of wheelchairs.
This type of battery uses a method of carrying the electrolyte
commonly referred to as 'gel', that is held within the battery
case. As the name implies, no maintenance is required other
than regular charging. You can safely transport this type of
battery without fear of acid spilling. Furthermore, they are
approved for transportation on aircraft, trains and ships.
CAUTION!
• Do not fit car batteries to the wheelchair. Fit only deep cycle,
maintenance free mobility batteries.
• When the batteries are worn out, take them to the local
authority disposal point.
• Do not expose any part of the battery to direct heat (i.e.
naked flame, gas fire).
• Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool
onto the battery. It could spark or short circuit the battery
or other electrical parts that may cause an explosion. Also
take off all personal metal effects and dangling objects when
working on the battery.
• Return the batteries back to Sunrise Medical or directly to
the battery manufacturer for recycling, when they no longer
hold charge.
• The battery terminals need to be checked regularly for
signs of corrosion. If any corrosion is apparent, then clean
the terminals completely and re-grease the terminal using
Vaseline petroleum jelly, not ordinary grease. Ensure that
the terminal nut and bolt, cable clip and exposed cable are
completely covered with jelly.
DANGER!
• Do not expose any part of the battery to direct heat (i.e.
naked flame, gas fire).
• Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool
onto the battery. It could spark or short circuit the battery
or other electrical parts that may cause an explosion. Also
take off all personal metal effects and dangling objects
when working on the battery.
