WARNING!
Risk of serious injury
Sensor pads are made of water resistant vinyl
to get water quickly run off the pads before
activating sensors.
If sensor pads are damaged, water may get in and
mobility device may start driving unintentionally.
If sensor pads are covered by water absorbing
material, mobility device may start driving
unintentionally.
– Do not operate Head Array if sensor pads are
damaged. Change sensor pads immediately.
– Do not cover sensor pads with any material.
The Head Array is a three-quadrant operation. Inside the
Head Array pads, there are proximity sensors, that allow you
to steer the wheelchair in the desired direction with the
movement of your head. This means that the head does not
need to touch the pads or press a switch to activate driving.
If the head comes within 6 mm of a sensor, the sensor is
activated and the wheelchair starts driving.
By default, the Head Array powers up as soon as the
wheelchair is powered up and powers down as soon as the
wheelchair is powered down.
Be aware, that when powering up automatically with
the wheelchair, your head has to be more than 6
mm away from the proximity sensors, otherwise a
drive OON warning is displayed and prevents the
wheelchair from driving. For more information about
OON, refer to 7.2 OON ("Out Of Neutral"), page104 .
