K. SPECIALITY CONTROLS
• The sensors used in this product will operate if moisture of any substance
that is electrically conductive is present in sufficient quantities.
• Electro magnetic interference from electrical power lines and certain types of
phones will cause the sensors to activate.
• These sensors are capacitive in nature and any material that is conductive will
activate them. These sensors are electronic sensors and generate an electron-
ic field which can be affected by liquids and radio frequency interference.
• If the user is caught in the rain or some type of liquid is spilled on the sensor
pad, the chair has a great potential to act erratically. Try to activate the stop
sensor or shut the chair down if possible.
• Avoid use under high power lines and around cell phones which will interfere
with the electronic field generated by the sensor.
• A warning must be conveyed to the wheelchair operator that the chair could
come to a sudden stop or act in an erratic manner due to liquids or radio fre-
quency interference (RFI).
• Most electronic equipment is influenced by (RFI). Caution should be exer-
cised with regard to the use of portable communication equipment in the
area around where the sensors are located in the head array. If RFI causes
erratic behaviour, shut the wheelchair off immediately. Leave off while trans-
mission is in progress.
Driving with the head array
The head array uses 3 zero touch sensors for driving, one in each head pad. The sensor in the
centre of the headpiece controls forward and reverse. Sensors in the right and left headpieces are
for right and left directional motion respectively. The fourth switch is your mode switch and it tog-
gles the head array between forward and reverse and between driving the wheelchair and operat-
ing any ancillary devices (such as powered seating or augmentative communications systems.)
Switching modes
A variety of mode switches are available. These can be divided into three types: internal,
hardware mounted and external.
• Internal: mode in left pad or right pad
• Hardware mounted: beam switch
• External: fiber optic, button or mode jack 2. All mode switches perform the same tasks.
• Single click of the mode switch will toggle between forward and reverse.
• A double click of the mode switch will change the operating mode of the system. e.g.
standby to drive to actuator etc. For further details refer to the user manual supplied
with your module or contact your Sunrise Medical authorized dealer.
