Does anyone know a site that I can go to and get technical info and a schematic on an INVACARE wheel chair controller?
It is MKIV GB Mod. 1109528
I did a web search and had lots of their company sites but no technical.
Any site that has info on these controllers would be of help.
Thanks

You'll always have trouble finding manufacturer's information on medical products because of the liability issues. Their liability is tremendous. That's why Tektronix got out of the portable patient moniter business back around 1978 or so. 'Twas a shame because they had the best neonatal monitor on the market. Hospitals loved them.

Wheel chair motor controller
It is an old one out of a discarded chair. I wanted to try and use it for a soft start controller for an auto starter motor. I have a gyrocopter that uses a 24 foot , free spinning rotor blades. I presently use a starter motor to start it spinning, but you have to momentary press a button and that hits the starter with the full current. I was thinking that maybe with this controller I could soft start the rotor blades a little at a time until up to speed.
I have seen controllers advertized that you can use a 5k pot for speed control of a motor. But they are rather expensive to purchase for me to experiment with. I came across this old controller and wanted to experiment with it. But having a schematic on the unit would be good.
Thanks for the replies

operate an auto starter motor, which could draw
several hundred amps under load.
Why not find two six volt batteries and start with
one to get the motor moving, then swap to both
for full power?
Comments Welcome!
