• The joystick D50800 from PG Drive Technology is used. It is a very reliable contactless joystick which meets the most rigid requirements • The CJA R-net can be adjusted to any individual need and possibility of the user. This can be done by adjusting the ‘Throw’ parameters of the R-net system.
2. Operation 2.1 Introduction The CJA R-net is a joystick module that can directly be connected to the R-net control system of PG Drives Technology (PDGT). So we refer to the R-net Control System Technical Manual – SK77981 – from PGDT.
2.2.2 Operating Conditions Your control system uses industrial-grade components throughout, ensuring reliable operation in a wide range of conditions. However, you will improve the reliability of the control system if you keep exposure to extreme conditions to a minimum. Do not expose your control system or its components to damp for prolonged periods. If the control system becomes contaminated with food or drink clean it off as soon as possible.
2.4 Controls Most of the controls of the CJA R-net are common to the standard joystick module of PGDT. The controls typical for the CJA R-net are explained in this section. For the complete description we refer to the SK77981 of PGDT.
2.4.2.1 On/Off Button The On/Off button applies power to the control system electronics, which in turn supply power to the wheelchair’s motors. Do not use the On/Off button to stop the wheelchair unless there is an emergency. (If you do, you may shorten the life of the wheelchair drive components). 2.4.2.2 Left Button Depending on the way the control system has been programmed this key can have different functions.
2.4.2.7 Status Indicator This displays the status of the joystick module. Green Continuous This indicates that the joystick is in drive mode. In this mode it is possible to drive and to change profile. Green Flashing This indicates that the joystick is in latched drive mode. In this mode it is possible to drive and to change profile.
Local output mode: The way to operate you actuators, lights or horn depends on how the CJA is programmed. Up to 16 different outputs (e.g. recline, left indicator, horn, etc.) can be programmed. The outputs are located in 4 groups and each group can contains up to 4 outputs.
The intelligent speed control system minimizes the effects of slopes and different types of terrain. Remark! The wheelchair user must be capable of driving a wheelchair safely. Permobil Europe BV accepts no liability for losses of any kind arising from failure to comply with this condition.
Permobil Europe BV accept no liability for losses of any kind arising from the unexpected stopping of the wheelchair or arising from the improper use of the wheelchair or control system.
2.9 Safety Checks The electronic circuits in your control system have been designed to be extremely safe and reliable. The on-board microcomputer carries out safety checks at up to 100 times per second. To supplement this safety monitoring you should carry out the following periodic checks.
Control System. Refer to programming manual Art.no: 205314-UK-0 for more details. Programming should only be conducted by healthcare professionals with in-depth knowledge of PGDT electronic control systems and of the CJA R-net of Permobil Europe BV Incorrect programming could result in an unsafe setup of a wheelchair for the user.
