DRIVE
The scanning rate in Drive Mode can be programmed to suit the user. Refer to the Programming chapter for further details.
When the Omni2 is switched on, a screen like the one shown below will appear:
The Omni2 will scan through the following icons:
The method of driving is dependent on whether the R-net system is configured for ‘momentary’ or ‘latched’ operation.
In momentary operation, continuously depressing the User Switch whilst one of the ‘arrow’ icons is shown will cause the
powerchair to drive in that direction until the switch is released. If the User Switch is depressed when the ‘M’ icon is shown,
the Omni2 will enter the User Menu.
In latched operation, a single depression of the User Switch whilst one of the ‘arrow’ icons is shown will cause the powerchair
to drive in that direction for a period of time set by the R-net Power Module parameter, ‘Latched Timeout’. (Please refer to
the user guide for the programming method you are using for further details of these parameters and latched operation).
To ease control of the chair while driving forwards, the scan sequence will change to:
Forward, Right, Reverse, Left, Reverse, Right, Reverse, Left, Reverse, Right, Forward.
