CAUTION: All wheelchair electronics must be switched off during installation. CAUTION: Make sure that the Foot Control is moved away for transfers. The maximum force requirements on the Foot Control are 100 kgs in a horizontal plane and 130 kgs in a vertical plane. CAUTION: Make sure that the driving function is off, when the Foot Control is not being used to drive.
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.

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.

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 …).
Features The Omni Joystick Connection is an integrated part of a mo-vis Omni Joystick and consists of: • Omni (SUB D9) connector with cable • 3.5 mm mono jack out with cable Other information These products were tested with an Omni 2 display by Curtiss-Wright.
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 …).
Pull the connector apart in a straight line to not damage the connection pins. R-net parameters Some R-net parameters need to be set for correct usage of the mo-vis R-net joysticks. For this we refer to the Curtiss-Wright manual SK77981-14 | R-net Technical Manual | Chapter 3 - Progamming R-net (Ch.
If you want to learn more about trip codes, see the Curtiss-Wright manual | SK77981-14 R-net Technical Manual. Supported R-net parameters The following R-net parameters of the wheelchair electronics may or may not be supported by the mo-vis joysticks. PARAMETER SUPPORTED FIRMWARE...
