Displacement cannot be performed when the unit is connected to
mains.
Velocity and visual signals (Status Light Indicator) can be
configured by the Service Engineer.
The unit is driven by holding the Handlebar with the hands, and it stops when
the Handlebar is released by the user.
The Handlebar is provided with internal sensors that control the direction and
speed of each wheel, operating when the Handlebar is touched and released.
The Handlebar height can be adjusted by the Service Engineer to several
positions, in order to fit the user's height. The unit is provided with a
three-position Handlebar (higher, medium and lower position) (for further
information, refer to Section 8.3 of Physical Characteristics).
When the Arm is in Parking position, the unit travels at the
configured velocity (approx. 5.5 km/h (3.42 mph) forwards
and 2.5 km/h (1.6 mph) backwards).
This velocity reduces considerably when the Arm is not in
Parking Position (approx. 1.6 km/h (1 mph)).
DUE TO THE WEIGHT OF THE MOBILE UNIT, THE BRAKING
DISTANCE AT FULL SPEED ON A SMOOTH SURFACE IS
1 METER MAXIMUM.
In order to avoid uncontrolled displacement of the unit during
the Starting-up, due to a failure of the displacement controls
(Handlebar activated

can be controlled with the Fine Positioning Controls.
A warning message alerts the user about a failure condition.
