6.19 Secondary Inputs

CAUTION!
Risk of Injury
If an external input is used, unrequested functions or
speed settings can lead to unexpected operations.
-To avoid unexpected operations, check which
function is operated and the function speed setting.
If you are unable to use a standard joystick, you can control the
system via an external input. All of the following inputs can
control the driving function. Some of the following inputs allow
you to switch the function screens to control seating or light
functions, if available.
With a proportional joystick or the Sip and Puff Head Array, the
wheelchair can be driven forward, reverse, right or left by a
four-quadrant (4Q) operation without additional switches. This
is different to an operation based on three quadrants (3Q), such
as a Head Array or a Four-Switch Proximity Array. There you
have the possibility to move forward, right or left with the aid
of proximity sensors. To allow the wheelchair to be driven in
reverse or changing function screens, an additional switch or
sensor is required.
The Head Array and the Four-Switch Proximity Array are
provided with a Proton Box so your provider can fit the arrays
to your individual needs by using the dip switches.
Default dip switch setup:
1 Reset/Reverse switch turned off.
2 Not used at the moment.
3 Turned on, to power up with wheelchair.
4 Not used at the moment.
5 Not used at the moment.
6 Audible input indicator turned off.
All components mentioned below describe the default
setup. For individual setup, contact your provider.
