Appendix C – Intuitive attendant control
The intuitive attendant control (hereinafter called attendant control) takes full control of
the e-fix and may only be used by someone accompanying the wheelchair user. Under no
circumstances may the wheelchair user themselves operate attendant control. The indi-
vidual components are installed by Alber or by the authorised specialist dealer.
1. Connecting the attendant control
Switch off the wheelchair user‘s control unit (see chapter 5.2.2).
Connect the plug [3] of the intuitive attendant control to the adapter cable socket
[2].
If this is not already inserted: Insert the plug [1] of the battery charger into one of
the sockets [29] on the battery pack.
The attendant control is now connected to the e-fix.
2. Starting up attendant control
Switch on the e-fix and wait until the start screen is displayed.
Under no circumstances touch the attendant control, the control unit joystick or the
individual operating elements during start-up. If you do, you will get an error mes-
sage.
Press button [4] on the attendant control. This switches the system on and brings up
the following status displays:
–
in the wheelchair user’s control unit display:
text “attendant control active” with the attendant control symbol (see diagram).
–
in the attendant‘s control unit display [5]:
Battery symbol (indication of battery capacity), to the right of this the currently
selected travel direction (arrow symbol) – see diagrams to the bottom left.
The attendant control is now active, the control unit inactive. The wheelchair can now
only be moved by an attendant.
3. Driving mode with attendant control
Specify the direction of travel you require by pressing switch [7] forwards (forwards
travel) or backwards (reverse travel). The selected travel direction is shown in the dis-
play by an arrow symbol.
Using the adjustment wheel [6], select the maximum final speed you require. When
setting your speed, this will be displayed as a percentage below the battery symbol.
Pull the driving lever [8] to start moving.
The maximum final speed can be stored in the e-fix software. Con-
tact your specialist dealer in this regard.
4. Turning off the attendant control
Press button [4] of the attendant control to switch it off.
If the control unit is still switched on when you do this it will immediately take control
of the e-fix. To fully shut down the e-fix you need to switch it off using the control unit
(see chapter 5.2.2).
If the e-fix is switched off using the control unit when attendant
control is still active, attendant control is automatically activated
when you next start up the system.
