Safety

We place great value on safety!

In order to achieve the greatest possible safety, high quality components, effective control mechanisms and many innovative detailed solutions were implemented in the function, failure and device safety.

Function safety

A directly effective main switch is provided on all Bonex Scooters. This can be operated at any time to switch the drive off immediately in all diving situations. A soft starting increases the operating safety by preventing abrupt movement. The power supply is increased temporarily when starting so that more thrust is available. This boost function can also be activated on the move and serves for manoeuvring narrow openings with an increased current or starting up with heavy loads. The motor switches off immediately if an object gets caught in the propeller. The cause can be removed without danger and the dive continued. This cut-off protects both the operator and the entangled objects as well as the drive assembly of the Scooter.

Fail safety

All components of the Bonex Scooter are water-tight, the electronic components have been additionally encapsulated. The Bonex Scooter will continue to operate even when water penetrates. Emergency operation is also possible by switching to a second, autarchic control circuit.

Equipment safety

The motor parameters and the battery are monitored to ensure sustained functioning of the Scooter. The temperature of the drive is also controlled in addition to the peak performance. The drive switches off if preset limit values are exceeded. This function is reset and the Scooter ready for operation again by simply switching off and back on.
