NE+ Controller
The NE+ controller is a fully programmable, modular electronic controller system that allows you to
operate your power chair. It is designed to allow the user to have complete control over chair movement
and speed.
The controller has been pre-programmed to meet a typical user's needs. The program is set using either a
personal computer with software provided by the controller manufacturer or with a hand-held programmer,
also provided by the controller manufacturer.
WARNING! The controller program can affect speed, acceleration, deceleration, dynamic stability,
and braking. If it is programmed incorrectly or outside of the safe limits as determined by your
healthcare professional, it can create a dangerous situation. Only the power chair manufacturer, an
authorized representative of the manufacturer, or a trained service technician should program the
controller.
Precautionary Guidelines
Before operating the NE+ controller, please read the following. These guidelines are provided for your
benefit and will aid you in the safe operation of the controller system.
„ Turn off the power to the controller when transferring to or from your power chair.
„ Follow all of the procedures and heed the warnings as explained in your power chair owner's manual.
Operating the NE+ Controller
The NE+ controller is used to operate your power chair and all of its components.
The NE controller consists of:
„ Joystick
„ Keypad

Joystick
The joystick controls the direction and speed of your power chair. When you move the joystick from the
neutral (center) position, the electromagnetic brakes release and allow your power chair to move. The
farther you push the joystick from its neutral position, the faster your power chair moves. When you
release the joystick and allow it to return to the neutral position, you engage the electromagnetic brakes.
This causes your power chair to decelerate and come to a complete stop
Keypad
The keypad is located directly in front of the joystick. It contains keys that you will use to control your
power chair.
On/Off Button
The on/off key turns the system on and off.
WARNING! When faced with an emergency stop situation, release the joystick, then press the on/off
to stop the power chair. Use caution. Be advised that pressing the on/off button may cause the power
chair to stop abruptly.
WARNING! Always turn the power off when you are stationary to prevent unexpected movement.
