Installation

Mounting options

The Hand Warmer can be mounted on any location on the power chair:
  • You can mount the Hand Warmer with the M012-45 Hand Warmer mounting set to easily install the Hand Warmer on the wheelchair (tray, armrest ...).
    Note: Preferably, you mount the Hand Warmer with the Q2M half clamp, but you may also fix the device on a flat surface with dual lock pads. At the bottom of the Hand Warmer 2 rimmed spaces are provided to place these dual lock pads.
  • You can equally use any other mounting system.

Mounting with the Hand Warmer mounting set

To install the Hand Warmer unit, proceed as follows:
  1. Define the place and position of the Hand Warmer on the power chair.
    Warning:
    At full power, the device will produce warm air (up to 80°C/158°F). It is advised to leave a minimum distance between the hand and the Hand Warmer of at least 10 cm (4 in).

    If the distance is less, it is necessary to limit the maximum temperature to 70°C/158°F or less (see Parameter settings).
    Warning: The device's air inlet and outlet are both at the front. Leave at least a distance of 5 cm (2 in) between the front of the device and any object.
    Warning: The device has an open structure at the front. Mount the device in such a way that no water (e.g. rain) can enter the device. Some drops of water will not cause problems, but excess water must be avoided.
    Note: It is advised to use the Hand Warmer Dome or another protective device to protect the Hand Warmer when used in outside conditions.
  2. Secure the Q2M Clamp half and bolt on the bottom of the Hand Warmer housing. Two positions in 90° steps are possible.
  3. Slide the unit over the Q2M Rod (or any other 6 mm rod), to position the Hand Warmer on the wheelchair.

You can use any other part of the Q2M system to complete the installation.

CAUTION: Tighten the screws firmly, but not excessively. Excessive force may damage the unit.

Connection

Place and connect the Hand Warmer extension lead with the Hand Warmer connector and lead the XLR power cable to the power chair joystick module or battery.

Secure the power cable to the wheelchair with straps or cable fasteners.

Warning: Protect the device against bumps. Mind damaging the unit and wiring. Make sure that cabling is mounted in such a way that excessive wear and tear is avoided.
Warning: The XLR power cable connector contains a fuse. Use an adapter to connect to non-XLR power connections.
Note: The XLR connector is internally fused with a fuse of 5A. This is necessary because the wire gauge cannot carry more current. Therefore, it is not allowed to cut the XLR connector and make a connection directly to the wheelchair batteries unless a fuse of max. 5A is added.
