Permobil Light Schematic: OLD STYLE

This is a schematic for the OLDER versions of Permobil chairs -

C300, C500, M300, ETC

*****If You're Working on a newer chair (2016 and later) click this link***

24 Volt light compatible only!  do not attempt to change light voltage settings via the R-Net software.  this will have undesired results on a Permobil chair!

LED LIGHTS ONLY!! You don't want to exceed more than 1 amp for each lighting circuit!

Setting things up:

there are 3 pin headers inside the ICS switchbox J5, J7, and J4 that are responsible for the lights

the diagram shows things "connected together" just for illustration purposes.
DO NOT CONNECT ALL THE WIRES TOGETHER!!

typically most people don't care about turn signals - so we'll focus on the headlights and tail lights.

ALL of the lights share power from pins 3,  7,  11,  and 15

I would recommend JUST using the outside connectors with a single row of pins. J5, and J4

Connector J7 can remain unused for this setup.   i haven't been able to source a proper fitting connector for it just yet. 

for example - a connector on J5 for Headlights, and another connector on J4 for tail lights
Ive used these connectors with good success -

OSEPP I2C Bus Cable- https://www.frys.com/product/7021181

you just have to slice off the latch, on the side of the connector to make it fit into the header on the board.  cut the cables in half - and each cable gives you 2 connectors!

Example Wiring -
Headlights - PIN #3 for +24 volts
Headlights - PIN #4 for NEGATIVE

Taillights - PIN #15 for +24 volts
Taillights - PIN #16 for NEGATIVE
IMO don't use turn signals - they're kinda dumb, and unnecessary LOL 

BUT if you want to install them anyways, and want to use the same connectors you've already used for the headlights and tail lights - they will share the POWER +24v from PINS 3, and 15 that you used for the headlights/tail lights (assuming you wired things as shown above)

Example Wiring -
Right Turn Signal- PIN #3 for +24 volts
Right Turn Signal- PIN #1 for NEGATIVE

Left Turn Signal- PIN #15 for +24 volts
Left Turn Signal- PIN #13 for NEGATIVE

GOOD LUCK!!


for reference - here's the 2 ICS modules (old and new) side by side

Gaining OEM Access!

 *** DO NOT CHANGE ANY SEATING SETTINGS VIA THE R-NET SOFTWARE!!!*** this WILL break stuff!! it may look like ya can change settings, BUT not from the R-NET side of things!! People tend to ignore this warning - but SERIOUSLY  DONT DO IT!!! DO NOT CHANGE SEATING SETTINGS ON PERMOBIL CHAIRS!! your chair will STOP DRIVING OR WORKING COMPLETELY!!   How to Gain OEM access to R-Net Controlled Power Wheelchairs! 1) Get the software     a) Permobil Dealer Software - - - https://permobilus.com/support/drivers-and-software/ and download PC Programmer (ver 6.1.5)     b) Sunrise OEM - - - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u7i3n-MuNvqk560zNt-82ql5VCYgBr84/view?usp=sharing 2) get a windows computer - ((windows 7 works best in my experience) - but w10 will probably work fine) 3) get an R-Net USB Dongle (access level doesn't matter) 4) install permobil R-net Software, and get the chair connected to the dongle (i wont cover how to do this - if yo...
