Invacare® LiNX

3.13 Attendant dual control

The ON/OFF key of the Attendant dual control is sealed
with a label, which indicates to read the user manual of the
remote before using the Attendant dual control for the
first time. You can remove the label after reading the user
manual.
The Attendant dual control is a component of the wheelchair's
control system, intended to allow attendants to interact with the
system. The Attendant dual control allows the attendant to take
control of drive function, as configured and connected within the
wheelchair's control system.
Before using the Attendant dual control for the first time,
you should familiarize well with its operation Invacare
recommends to test the behavior of the Attendant dual
control without an occupant to avoid injury. When handing
over to other attendants, they need a sufficient instruction
as well.
When two remote modules are connected in the same system, both
are capable of performing the same functions but only one of them
has control of the system at any one time. While one remote is in
charge, the other does not respond to any commands except for its
ON/OFF key, which can always turn off the system.
Powering up
Either of the remotes can power up the system with their
own ON/OFF key. The remote that powers up the system has
control of the system (remote-in-charge). The other remote
24
(remote-not-in-charge)has no control of the wheelchair except for
its ON/OFF key, which can still be used to switch off the system.
The system is automatically powered up in drive mode one. As an
attendant you cannot change the drive mode. You can just control
the maximum speed with the speed dial on the attendant remote.
Powering down
No matter which remote is in charge in the dual remote system,
the wheelchair can be powered down by pressing the ON/OFF key
on either remote.
Changing who's in charge
To change which remote is in charge, power down the system with
either remote, and then power up the system again with the remote
that requires the control.

Fault handling and indication
If a fault exists on one of the remotes in a dual remote system, the
