ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE
It is very important that you read this
information regarding the possible effects of
Electromagnetic Interference on your Supascoota.
This motorized scooter has an immunity of 20 V/m which should protect it
from Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) from Radio Wave Sources. These
EM waves are invisible and their strength increases as one approaches the
source. All electrical conductors act as antennas to the EM signals and to
varying degrees, all power wheelchairs and scooters are susceptible to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). This interference could result in abnormal,
unintentional movement and/or erratic control of the vehicle.
Motorized scooters may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI),
which is interfering electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such a
radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios,
and cellular phones. The interference (from radio wave sources) can cause
the motorized scooter to release its brakes, move by itself, or move in
unintended directions. It can also permanently damage the motorized
scooter control system. The intensity of the interfering EM energy can be
measured in volts per meter (V/m). Each motorized scooter can resist EMI
up to 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.
Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves closer to
the transmitting antenna (source), the EM fields from hand-held radio wave
sources (transceivers) are of special concern. It is possible to unintentionally
bring high levels of EM energy very close to the motorized scooter control
system while using these devices. Therefore, the warnings listed below are
recommended to prevent possible interference with the control system of the
motorized scooter, which should reduce the chance of unintended brake
release or motorized scooter movement that could result in serious injury.
- 8 –

Do not operate hand-held personal communication
devices such as citizens band (CB) radios, or turn ON personal
communication devices and cellular phones while the motorized
scooter is turned ON.
1) Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations
and try to avoid coming close to them.
2) If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the
motorized scooter OFF as soon as it is safe.
3) Be aware that adding accessories or components, or
modifying the motorized scooter, may make it more
susceptible to EMI; and NOTE:There is no easy way to
evaluate their effect on the overall immunity of the motorized
scooter.
4) Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake
release to the distributor listed on the back of this manual, and
Note whether there is a radio wave source of EMI nearby.
TURN “OFF” YOUR SCOOTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WHEN
EXPERIENCING THE FOLLOWING:
‧Unintended or uncontrollable movement.
‧Unexpected brake release
●Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the
powered wheelchair, may make it more susceptible to interferences
from radio wave sources (Note: There is no easy way to evaluate
their effect on the overall immunity of the powered wheelchair)
●Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to
the powered of wheelchair manufacturer, and note whether there is a
radio wave source nearby
- 9 –
●Important Information
1) 20 Volts per meter (V/m) is a generally achievable and useful
immunity level against interference from radio wave sources (as of
May 1994) (the higher the level, the greater the protection);
2) This product has an immunity level of following:

AUTO SWITCH OFF ELECTRONIC SYSTEM
●The electronic system of this scooter is protected by a digital over
current cut-off system. If your SupaScoota stops, you will need to turn
the main key switch to the “OFF” position, and then switch to “ON”
position to reset the system.
●Possible causes of overcurrent cut-out are battery not fully charged
or near the end of its life, or the slope is too steep for the scooter. Do
not continue to overload the system as this may cause controller
failure.
●The electronic system of this scooter will cut off if the key switch is left
in the “ON” position when the scooter is not in use. You will then to
turn the key switch to the “OFF” position, and then switch to “ON”
position to reset the control system.
-19-
ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
This is the most significant advancement in mobility scooter safety ever
designed and will dramatically reduce accidents due to operator
misuse. Turning corners at excessive speed has always been one of
the most common causes of accidents but with clever engineering
and sophisticated electronics we have all but eliminated this problem.
The speed of the SupaScoota is now electronically governed in
direct proportion to the rotation of the handle bars, virtually
eliminating any possibility of over speeding when turning. With the
handle bars at maximum rotation and the throttle at maximum speed
the scooter will turn at a very low speed with complete safety. No
other scooter can provide this level of safety.
Some situations may require maximum power to be used when turning
and we have allowed for this with a handlebar mounted push button
which will disable the ESC for 20 seconds if needed. (Push for one
second)
Keepfingersand clothing away
from the Electronic Stability Control
sensor.
This vital piece of equipment is very
sensitive and could be damaged, or
could cause damage, if tampered with.
Warning. If the ESC is disconnected
or faulty, the scooter will continue to
function normally but the speed will
not reduce when turning.
