The connections of the Micro Joystick unit have protective covers to avoid the accumulation of dust or moisture during use. Stealth Products can customize mounting hardware configurations in order to create the best possible fit for a client. Keep the protective cover in its place when not using a specific port.
Functioning Joystick Operation The movements of the joystick translate accordingly into the motion of the wheelchair or the navigation of its menu. The wheelchair is most commonly controlled by the joystick in the following manner: ▪ Direction: The joystick is pushed in the direction the wheelchair is intended to move, and the wheelchair moves in that direction.
Functioning Joystick Safety Do not use the Micro Joystick if any of the following conditions apply: ▪ The joystick handle is damaged, cracked, or missing. ▪ The joystick does not return to its default (center) position independently. ▪ The joystick does not move to and from its default (center) position smoothly. In order to change the joystick tip, gently pull on the tip until it lifts off the joystick's metal rod.
Functioning Connection Options The Micro Joystick can connect one or two switches to the interface. One connection is to power the on/off function and the other is to control a mode (input). The interface has a cable with an R-net BUS connector compatible with the wheelchair electronics. The joystick then controls the wheelchair and all of its functions, including driving, electric gear, lights, etc.
Installation Instructions Preparations Only a qualified service technician should install the Micro Joystick and its accessories. An incorrect installation of wheelchair electronics may WARNING cause damage to the hardware and/or injury to the user. Any connection must always be secured with all the delivered screws. CAUTION Only use the screws provided with the device.
