12.0 R-net Control System

12.1 R-net controller

A controller will usually have three basic functions:
• Driving and steering a wheelchair
• Operating electrical seat adjustments
• Charging the wheelchairs batteries
There are many different control systems for wheelchairs
on the market. If the controller on your wheelchair does not
resemble the one in Fig. 12.1, contact your dealer.
R-net by PG Drives Technologies is a collective name for the
entire control system of the wheelchair. The wheelchair is
operated by means of a controller. Main components of the
controller can be found in chapter 12.3.

12.2 R-net attendant steering

It is possible to connect an extra controller on the back (Fig.
12.2). This so the attendant can control the wheelchair and
operate electrical options.

12.3 Gyro Module

If your Q100R-Q200R is fitted with the R-net control system, a
Gyro Module with the latest GYRO module technology can be
fitted.
Gyro technology adds an extra dimension to controlling a
wheelchair, by maintaining the desired drive direction
irrespective of the external forces acting upon the wheelchair.
GYRO benefits are:
• Superior drive control.
• Eliminates spin-out.
• Eliminates fish-tailing.
• Enhances control on cambers.
• Straight line driving over obstacles.
• Enhances drive profiles when switched speciality controls,
(such as head arrays), are used.
WARNING!
• The Gyro CANNOT be used on moving vehicles, such as
buses, trains or boats. When travelling on moving vehicles
the GYRO MUST BE DISABLED by selecting drive profile 1
on your controller.
• DO NOT remove the GYRO from your product. If the GYRO is
disconnected the powerchair maximum speed will be limited
by 50%.
