Set up the Speed Modes
3
The chair can have up to nine different speed modes. The operator selects them
by pressing the handcontrol's Up and Down buttons.
1. Define how many speed modes there will be, using the Number
STEP
of Modes parameter (Program > Handcontrol > Speed menu).
2. Define the maximum limit for each of these speed modes, starting
STEP
with Speed 1. Set the highest speed mode you have to 100%. The
speeds between Speed 1 and this highest speed do not need to be
linear. However, the speeds do have to be a progression, with each
higher numbered speed being faster than the one before it.
3. Set the Forward and Reverse Minimum Speed parameters (Program
STEP
> Profile 1 > Drive menu) to 1% for now. This will allow the
chair's minimum speed to be directly controlled by the Speed 1
setting.
Match the Powerbase to the Motor Wiring
4
The Motor Swap parameter (Program > Motors and Brakes menu) allows you
to invert and/or swap the left and right motor characteristics in order to match
the way the chair is wired — without physically swapping the wires around.
1. Move the joystick slightly forward and left and observe how the
STEP
chair moves. Release the joystick.
2. If the chair moves in the correct direction, the Motor Swap
STEP
parameter is set correctly. If it does not, select the next Motor
Swap setting and repeat Step 1 until you find the right setting
to match your wiring.
Determine the System Resistance
5
These values are critical to the internal speed estimation and compensation
algorithms. Once they have been set, they should not be modified throughout
the following tuning procedures.
The programmable parameters adjusted in Procedure 5 are located in
the Program» Motors & Brakes menu.
1. Slowly drive the chair flush against a wall, high curb, or some
STEP
other immovable object.
2. Set the Motor Test parameter On. This puts the system into a special
STEP
mode with limited current.
3. Select the highest speed mode, using the handcontrol keypad.
STEP
4. In the Monitor menu, scroll down to M1/M2 Resistance.
STEP
5. Push the joystick full forward, driving the chair hard against the
STEP
object or wall, and note the M1 and M2 Resistance values.
6. Set the M1 and M2 Resistance parameters to these monitored
STEP
values.
