CAUTION: This is Class I Medical Device (MDR 2017/745). All accessories, including switches, must also comply with the MDR 2017/745 regulations (e.g. the mo-vis Twister, tested according to EN12184 standards). Connect the cabling to the wheelchair electronics. CAUTION: All wheelchair electronics must be switched off during installation.
Avoid hitting obstacles during driving. WARNING: When the LED light flashes and/or after every incident with the wheelchair or the mo-vis device, contact your dealer immediately to perform a functional test. LED status The illumination of the LED on the joystick interface indicates the operational status of the joystick.
When this LED is green, the Foot Control is operational. When the LED is off, the Foot Control isn't powered. When this LED flashes red, it indicates additional faults, to these in Error codes on page 28 . Count the flashes and contact mo-vis for more information: contact@mo-vis.com.
Parameter settings Compensation settings Road Compensation is a unique feature in the mo-vis joysticks. When you are driving on an uneven road with a special control mounted in a tray, or on an arm (or any other place where tremblements may be amplified), it can be very difficult to maintain control over the electric wheelchair and sometimes even unsafe.

There is an accelerometer inside the joysticks and when it vibrates, it sends a signal to the wheelchair to slow down to a predefined parameter.

SETTING DESCRIPTION PARAMETERS (De)activation Active if compensation mode is Min. pattern set to 'Manual'. Default To activate/deactivate: nudge the joystick Forward + Backward + Max. Forward. • Agile users may be able to execute this pattern quite quickly. • Set this parameter according to the agility of the user.

The tilt sensor inhibit becomes inac- tive again when the angle becomes less than 65° (default). The use of this functionality certainly makes sense when a mo-vis joystick is integrated in a tray or other tilting sur- face/mounting aid. NOTE: The tilt sensor response time is less than or equal to 1s.

Test drive Do a test drive with the wheelchair. Check whether the wheelchair and all its functionalities function correctly in all positions the user may use the joystick and switches. Check whether cables or parts may not get damaged or hindered in any possible position of the wheelchair.
Draw the user's attention to the following: WARNING: A functional test is needed when the LED light flashes and/or after every incident with the wheelchair or the mo-vis device. WARNING: The device should never be covered or blocked in order to avoid uncontrollable behavior of the joystick and/or the wheelchair.
Maintenance The device is maintenance-free. Under regular circumstances of use, the device and different parts do not require additional maintenance. Please refer to the User Manual of the device for cleaning instructions. WARNING: As dust and dirt could lead to reduced functionality, all parts of the device should be cleaned on a regular basis (monthly) or whenever needed.
Warnings: LED will flash in orange. A warning can be resolved quite easily (see table below). • Errors: LED will flash in red. An error might indicate a more serious issue and/or the device will have to come back to mo-vis. FLASH COUNT REASON REQUIRED ACTION...

Omni Joystick Connection Purpose A mo-vis Omni Joystick has a cable with a SUB D9 connector and a 3.5 mm jack connection. They can be plugged in directly to the electronics of the wheelchair. The joystick then controls the wheelchair in all its functions (driving, electric gears, lights …).
R-net Joystick Connection Purpose An R-net joystick has a communication cable with an R-net connector. The cable can be directly plugged into the R-net electronics of the wheelchair. The joystick then controls the wheelchair in all its functions (driving, electric gears …). For more information about the R-net system, please refer to the Curtiss-Wright website http://www.cw-industrialgroup.com Connecting the R-net communication cable...
