Installation, Electrical System - REICH easydriver basic 1.8 Instructions D'assemblage Et Mode D'emploi

6. Installation, electrical system

Separate the 12 V and 230 V supply from the battery
and the power mains.
Working on the electrical installation
without first separating the power supply
poses a mortal risk!
E1 Installing the base station
Select a suitable place for the installation of the base
station, e.g. in the seat or bed base, ideally in immedi-
ate proximity of the drive units within a minimum
distance of 40 cm to the battery. The base station can
be installed on the floor or on the wall.
Remove the housing cover of the base station by re-
moving the 2 screws holding it. Fasten the base station
using 4 screws. Drill 1 hole with a 25 mm diameter at a
distance of approx. 150 mm from the base station into
the vehicle bottom in order to connect the motor cable.
Ensure that there are no installations or load-carrying
parts in or under the floor in the proximity of the hole.
Duct the cable through this hole.
E2 Connecting the drive motors
Lay the cables supplied with the left and right drive
unit to the base station. The cables are to be connected
to the motor according to the connection diagram
Push the connections for the base station through the
respective hole from the bottom.
Use the cable clamps supplied to lay and fasten the
cables. Use the electrical installation pipe that is al-
ready on the cable to protect the cable against sharp
edges. Mark the cable for the left and right drive unit to
ensure safe installation.
Always keep the cables for all drive units at the same
length. Avoid loops. Install the respective + (plus) and -
(minus) cable separately with a gap between them,
where possible.
Always keep the cable length as short as possible.
Cut the cables off at the right length as required and
remove approx. 5 cm of their insulation at the ends.
Fasten the cable shoes supplied with cable shoe pliers.
Fasten the cables according to the connection plan
Ensure good attachment!


Never lay the cables directly above the base station or
other electronic devices. They might get damaged by
strong magnetic fields during operation.
Caution: Always consider the colour of the cables
when connecting them to the base station (red = "+",
black = "-")!
Carefully seal the holes with suitable sealing material
from the inside and outside.
E3 Connecting the voltage supply
Lay the battery cable from the base station to the bat-
tery. Please consider Point E4 (connecting the main
switch) in this context. The distance between the bat-
tery and the base station should NEVER exceed the
length of the cables supplied. The shorter the cable, the
better.
The strip fuse (150 A) installed in the plus (+) cable
must be located near the battery.
The fuse (150 A) must be replaced with an equivalent
fuse when it has been triggered.
Never swap the plus (+) and minus (-)
connection of the voltage supply!

E4 Connecting the main switch
The main switch in the battery cable is not required
when a REICH MPP battery (Mobility Power Pack) is
used. The MPP has a separate main switch.
easydriver basic 1.8:
The main switch supplied is installed in the red, plus
(+) battery line. It must be easily accessible from the
outside. It is recommended to place it in the area of the
entrance door or a storage box flap.

Cut the red, plus (+) cable for this purpose. Connect the
M10 ring cable shoes to the cut, unshielded cable by
using appropriate pliers. Connect the ring eyelets to the
main switch.
