106 | R-net  Technical Manual | Chapter 3 – Programming   

If the  wheelchair is veering to the left, then the value should be increased. Conversely, if the wheelchair is veering to the right, 
then the value should be decreased.   

NOTE: 

This logic  may be affected by the setting of parameter, Motor Swap, which,  if set to Yes, will reverse the logic. 

 

12.8 

DISPLAY SPEED - (DISPLAY SPEED)   

This sets whether  the speedometer  is displayed in miles per hour or kilometers per hour. Note,  the Power Module always 
calculates and transmits speed information in miles per hour. 

The programmable options are Off, mph or km/h. 

If set to Off, there will be no speed or odometer  is displayed on the LCD screen.  

If set to mph, then the  speed and distance will be displayed as the value transmitted by the Power Module (which always sends 
the information in miles per hour) and the text ‘mph’  will appear on the LCD screen. 

If set to km/h,  then the module with the speed and odometer  display will convert the Power Module value into kilometers per 
hour and the text  ‘km/h’ will appear on the LCD screen.  

NOTE: 

Only certain Input Devices,  e.g. CJSM  or Omni, have the speedometer and Odometer functions.   

 

12.9 

DISPLAYS 

Displays defines the format of the  digital speed display. Displays can be programmed to Both, Speed  or Odometer.  If set to 
Both, the speed and trip distance are displayed on the screen. If set to  either Speed  or Odometer  only the  speed or trip distance 
will be displayed. 

12.10  MAXIMUM  RATED SPEED    

This calibrates the speedometer  and odometer  functions. The value chosen should correspond to the speed of the wheelcha ir 
that is expected at a setting of Maximum Forward Speed   = 100%. This value is always set in miles per hour.   

The programmable range is 0.0mph to 20.0mph. 

NOTE: 

Only certain Input Devices,  e.g. CJSM  or Omni, have the speedometer and odometer functions.  If the parameter is set to zero 
the Speed and Odometer display  will not be visible. 

 

12.11  MAXIMUM  DISPLA YED SPEED (MAX DISPLAY SPEED)     

This sets the operation of the graphical speed display, i.e. the blue semi -circle on the CJSM and Omni.  

Ordinarily, the powerchair will be dispatched so that the graphical speed display reaches its maximum point at the maximum 
rated speed of the powerchair. This means that, if the powerchair is later programmed to a lower speed, to sui t a particular user
