4 Connections and Wiring

The DX-ARC-SWB connections are located along the front panel of the case. When all wiring has been completed, it must be securely fastened to the powerchair frame to ensure there is no strain on the connectors.

Ensure that all wiring is suitably restrained to prevent snagging.

Ensure that the unit and all connections are suitably protected against environmental contamination (water, dust, etc.).

Before making any connections to the DX-ARC-SWB, disable the powerchair by one of the following means to prevent accidental movement:

1)Place the battery circuit breaker in the open position,

2)Disconnect the motor or batteries, and/or

3)Elevate the drive wheels.

4.1DXBUS

The DX-ARC-SWB has 2 DXBUS sockets to connect to the DXBUS system. Both sockets are identical. Connect a DXBUS cable from either socket to the DXBUS socket of any other DX Module. Route and secure the cable to prevent mechanical damage and snagging.

The second socket can be used to extend the DXBUS to other DX Modules, if required. If it is not used for this purpose, and the vacant socket is accessible to the user, a dummy plug or cap should be fitted.
