Operation - Quantum 1402 Owner's Manual

REMOTE PLUS CONTROLLER
The electronic controller is what you use to operate your power chair. It takes the battery voltage and sends it to the
appropriate system. The electronic controller also enables you to monitor battery charge, electronic controller functions
and the condition of your electrical system. Also, it may be used to control some optional systems such as power elevating
seats and lights. The Remote Plus is a modular electronic control system. The electronics necessary to operate the power
chair are contained in several modules located on different parts of your power chair. Typically, the Remote Plus is mounted
to one of the armrests and is connected to the motors, batteries and the electronics tray.
The controller supplied with your power chair has been pre-programmed to meet your needs. The program is set using
either a personal computer with software supplied by the controller manufacturer or with a hand-held programmer, also
provided by the controller manufacturer.
WARNING! The controller program can affect speed, acceleration, deceleration and braking, but
if it is programmed incorrectly or outside of the safe limits as determined by your healthcare
professional, it can create a dangerous situation. Only the power chair manufacturer, an authorised
representative of the manufacturer or a trained service technician should program the controller.
The Remote Plus system consists of the following components:
! master remote
! communications cable(s)
! power module
! motor wiring harnesses
! battery wiring harnesses
! actuator lighting module (for optional equipment)
Remote Plus Master Remote
The Remote Plus master remote consists of the following:
1. joystick
2. keypad
3. controller communications cable
4. off-board charger/programming socket
Joystick
The joystick controls the direction and speed of your power chair. When you move the joystick from the neutral (centre)
position, the electromagnetic brakes release and allow your power chair to move. The farther you push the joystick from
its neutral position, the faster your power chair moves. When you release the joystick and allow it to return to the neutral
position, the electromagnetic brakes engage and the power chair decelerates to a complete stop.
WARNING! If your power chair begins to move in an unexpected manner, immediately release the
joystick. Unless the joystick is damaged, this action should stop your power chair.
Keypad
The keypad is located directly in front of the joystick. See figure 26. It contains keys that you will use to control your
power chair.
