PaceSaver Digital Controllers

PaceSaver is known for advanced State-of-the-art digital controllers . . . they are a leader in the industry. All PaceSaver's use American made Control Solutions – 110 amp. rated controller. Virtual auto rollback. The Chicago made entirely new virtual anti-roll back for smooth stops especially important on ramps & lifts. 110 amp. Power control provides short term power for ramps and more continued long term current output for long hills & back yards.

Push-Too-Fast Protection
Provides safety when the PaceSaver scooter is disengaged and being moved manually, especially down a ramp or other incline. If the incline causes the scooter to begin to “run-away”, Push-Too-Fast will automatically and instantly limit the scooter’s motion to a walking speed.

Power Boost Compensation
Power boost compensation ensures a more comfortable and predictable ride. When travelling over rough surfaces, setting the speed control at a slower speed reduces vibration and bouncing. As the rider travels over uneven surfaces such as depressions or loose ground, the Power Boost Compensation tells the controller to automatically increases power as it maintains the selected speed. Obstacles are negotiated at a slower and smoother speed with ample power to handle the terrain.

Audio / Visual Scooter Status Indicators
A highly sophisticated diagnosis system is an integral feature of every digital controller that is utilized in every PaceSaver scooter. Approximately 11 discreet codes are utilized to identify faults ranging from excessive load to incorrect charger voltage. The codes may be heard when the horn button remains depressed, and can be seen while observing the flickering needle in the battery status meter.

Battery Saver Automatic Shut-Off
With the key in the “on” position, after 25-seconds of inactivity, the two-stage battery saver circuit automatically reduces the current draw from the batteries. Reactivation is accomplished by pushing the throttle. With the key in the “on” position, after 30-minutes of inactivity, the second stage cuts all power off. Reactivation is accomplished by turning the key to the “off” and then “on” position. Unexpected low or dead batteries are virtually eliminated.

Safety Shut Down
In the unlikely event that a PaceSaver develops a problem while in motion, the digital controller automatically shuts the scooter down, and immediately diagnoses the fault and displays it utilizing the Audio / Visual Scooter Status Indicators. For example, if power to the brake is lost, the controller senses this and shuts the scooter down before the brake and the motor is damaged.

Electro Magnetic Immunity (EMI) Shielding
EMI means immunity from interference with the operation of a PaceSaver scooter caused by radio transmitting devices. These include devices such as radio transmitters in emergency vehicles, walkie-talkie (two-way) radios, or simple radio-transmitters such as cell phones. The FDA required immunity level of 20 v/m (volts per meter) offers a significant safeguard against potentially hazardous scooter movement.

PaceSaver us proud to display a 20 v/m rating on all our scooters.
