3.1 Requesting Control of Power Wheelchair
The remote-in-charge is the remote that controls the power
wheelchair. If the secondary remote is not the remote-in-charge, then
the secondary remote is not able to drive the power wheelchair or
control the seating functions and all LEDs on the secondary remote are
switched off.
By default, the remote module, that powers up the power
wheelchair, is in-charge of the power wheelchair.
1. Press button on remote module that you want to use
to control the power wheelchair.
The request is accepted and control is passed on from
one remote module to another remote module in the
system. The power wheelchair is ready-to-drive.
A restriction can be set, so that the secondary remote can not
become remote-in-charge, refer to 3.6.3 Restricted User
Indication (Attendant Control Unit), page 18.
3.2 Using the Joystick
CAUTION!
Risk of injury
The secondary remote modules may only be used with the
authorised joystick knobs.
— Use of any other joystick knob requires that the installer
tests and confirms that the joystick returns to the
neutral position whenever the joystick is deflected.
1608055-E
— Tests with the device mounted horizontally and with a
water soaked knob (foam knobs only) are required if the
installer judges these risks as significant.
CAUTION!
Risk of pinching
As the joystick is moved, the size of the gap between
joystick skirt and top of module's body reduces.
— Instruct user to release joystick if any body part becomes
pinched from deflecting joystick.
The joystick controls the direction and speed of the power
wheelchair's drive and seating functions. When the joystick is
deflected from the centre (neutral) position, the power wheelchair
moves in the direction of the joystick movement.
The speed of the power wheelchair or powered seating function is
proportional to the joystick deflection, so that the further the joystick
is moved from the neutral position, the faster the power wheelchair or
powered seating function travels. If the user moves the joystick back
to the neutral position, the power wheelchair or powered seating
function slows down and stops.
If the user releases the joystick from any position other than the
neutral position, the joystick will return to the neutral position and the
power wheelchair slows down and stops.
The joystick can also be used to wake up the system when in sleep
mode.
