THE SOURCES OF RADIATED EMI CAN BE
BROADLY CLASSIFIED INTO THREE TYPES:
AHand-held portable transceivers (transmitters-
receivers) with the antenna mounted directly on
the transmitting unit.
Examples include: citizens band (CB) radios,
“walkie talkie,”security, re, and police
transceivers, cellular telephones, and other
personal communication devices.
Some cellular telephones and similar devices
transmit signals while they are ON, even
when not being used.
BMedium-range mobile transceivers, such as
those used in police cars, re trucks, ambulances,
and taxis. These usually have the antenna
mounted on the outside of the vehicle.
CLong-range transmitters and transceivers such as
commercial broadcast transmitters (radio and TV
broadcast antenna towers) and amateur (HAM)
radios.
Other types of hand-held devices, such as
cordless phones, laptop computers, AM/FM
radios, TV sets, CD players, and media
players, and small appliances, such as electric
shavers and hair dryers, so far as we know,
are not likely to cause EMI problems to your
wheelchair electrical features.
The above listed devices and transceivers and
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources
such as radio and TV stations, amateur radio (HAM)
transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones
can aect electrical functions and movement of the
wheelchair. Therefore, the warnings listed below
are recommended to prevent possible interference
with the control system of the Netti III EL electrical
features.
3. ELECTROMAGNETIC
INTERFERENCE
AND WARNINGS
Wheelchairs with electrical functions / features 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 electrical
functions to move by themself. It can also
permanently damage the elctrical control system.
The intensity of the interfering EM energy can be
measured in volts per meter (V/m). Each electrical
function can resist EMI up to a certain intensity.
This is called its“immunity level.”The higher the
immunity level, the greater the protection will be.
There are a number of sources of relatively intense
electromagnetic elds 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 below, your risk to EMI will be
minimized.
Netti III EL electrical functions degree of
protection: IPX4.
Netti III EL electrical functions are EMC approved.
It is very important that you read this
information regarding the possible eects of
electromagnetic Interference on your
wheelchair with electrical features.
