2. Five Switch and User Switch

5. Sip and Puff device and User Switch
6. Single switch scanner
The User Switch provides a means of changing Profiles and
Modes, an emergency stop function and a means of putting
the Omni2 to sleep. It is also possible to use most of the
SID types without a User Switch.
The Omni2 parameter that sets the SID compatibility is SID.

WARNING!
Sunrise Medical recommends that, whenever possible, a
normally closed user switch should be used. If no user switch or
a normally open switch is used, the responsibility for that
decision lies with the healthcare professional. Sunrise Medical
will accept no liability for any losses resulting from the use of no
user switch, or a non-normally closed User Switch.
13.6 Joystick and User Switch (Fig 13.2)
Typical applications are chin control, foot control or heavy/light
operating force joysticks.
A typical example would be a PG Drives Technology inductive
joystick e.g. D50064, connected to the Omni2 via the 9-way D-
type connector. In addition, a User Switch is required and
connects to the Omni2 via the 1/8" (3.5mm) mono jack.

13.7 Five Switch and User Switch (Fig 13.3)
Typical applications are Tash Penta switches or Buddy
Buttons, or products from ASL and Switch-it.
The device comprises of 4 direction switches and one User
Switch, connected to the Omni2 via the 9-way D-type
connector. In addition, a normally-closed User Switch
should be connected to the Omni2 via the 1/8" (3.5mm)
mono jack. This switch, although functionally identical to the
fifth switch input on the 9-way D-type connector, is required
to provide a fail-safe emergency stop system.
13.8 Three axis Proportional and User Switch
(Fig 13.4)
Typical applications are head control mechanisms fitted with
a joystick.
The device comprises of an inductive joystick connected to
the Omni2 via the 9-way D-type connector. In addition, a
normally-closed User Switch should be connected to the
Omni2 via the 1/8" (3.5mm) mono jack.
