EMI 1 0 . E MI This portion of the content will provide the user with basic information about the problems with EMI (electromagnetic interference), protective measures can be used to either lessen the possibility of exposure or to minimize the degree of exposure; this section also shows some conditions that unexpected or erratic movements may cause. It is very important that you read this information regarding the possible effects of electromagnetic interference on your electric KYMCO SCOOTER.
EMI There are a number of sources of relatively intense electromagnetic fields 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 warning listed below, your risk to EMI will be minimized. The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types: 1. Hand-held portable transceivers ( transmitterreceivers with the antenna mounted directly on the transmitting unit).
EMI POWERED SCOOTER ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI) EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves closer to a 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 powered scooter’s control system while using these devices; this can affect your scooters movement and braking.
EMI IMPORTANT INFORMATION 20 Volts per meter (V/m) is generally a useful immunity level against EMI (the higher the level, the greater the protection). This product has an immunity level of 20 V/m without any accessories connected to it.
