6.9.7 Drive Program Selection After Component Replacement
The drive program is saved in the remote, and also in the power module. If one of these two components is replaced,
the system must be told which of the components has not been replaced so that it knows which contains the current
controller profile.
The system allows normal usage of the mobility device after component replacement only if the profile is selected
afterwards.
For details, see corresponding remote manual.

6.9.8 Updating software

Invacare is continuously carrying out further development and improvements to drive programs for powered mobility
devices. For this reason, you should always check whether the drive program version number is up-to-date when carrying
out any repairs or regular maintenance.
If a new version is available, the drive program must be updated. The procedure for updating the drive program is
described in the wizard software operating manual.
The power wheelchair is supplied with a standard drive program. If the drive program has been customised,
you have to perform this customisation again, after installing the new drive program. This also applies to the
customer-specific options of the seat setting for ACS2 remotes, which are activated ex works.
WARNING!
Any changes to the drive program can affect the driving characteristics and the tipping stability of the
mobility device.
– Changes to the drive program may only be carried out by trained Invacare specialist dealers.
– Invacare can only give a warranty for safe mobility device driving behaviour - especially the tipping stability -
for unaltered standard drive programs.
• Dynamic Wizard software
• Manual for Wizard software
• Further requirements, such as a minimum system configuration for the PC used for programming, required
programming cables etc. can be taken from the Wizard software operating manual.
When an electrical adjustment option is retrofitted, such as electrical legrests, then this option needs to be activated
in the drive program as well if you have an ACS2 remote. For more information, refer to the user manual of the
Wizard software and the installation instructions for the electronic modules.
