The EZ Lock System
The BL-6290 Base Lock: The Heart of the EZ Lock System. Casing is sturdy 3/16″ powder-coated steel. Locking jaws are 1/4″ steel coated with a permanently bonded lubricant. Entry into lock is mechanical, and release is attained by an electrical pull solenoid. Emergency mechanical release is also incorporated (in case the vehicle loses battery power).The base lock is mounted to the vehicle floor and acts as a receiver for the interfacing pin mounted to the wheelchair.
The Wheelchair Bracket: The interface bracket is mounted to the wheelchair, allowing it to lock into the BL-6290 docking base. The EZ Lock system can accommodate a wide array of wheelchair styles, including both manual and power wheelchairs. Although we provide an interface for most of the wheelchairs currently on today’s market, it is advisable to check with EZ Lock or your local adaptive-equipment dealer, to ensure we have a system appropriate for your particular wheelchair.
When consulting your dealer about availability, please have these items handy: a) name of the manufacturer, b) wheelchair model, c) model number, and d) note of any accessories that might interfere with the bracket installation (i.e., reclining or elevating seat, vent tray).
The ECU-3 Control Panel: The Main User Interface for EZ Lock System: Functions include release, alarm buzzer deactivation for unoccupied use, and an array of warning indicators. Green light signifies locking jaws are completely closed and system is safe to use. Yellow light means locking jaws are not completely closed, and the user should exit, then re-enter base lock. Red light indicates system has been deactivated, and is for unoccupied use only.
