CHAPTER 3 – PROGRAMMING
1
INTRODUCTION
This chapter gives an overview of the programmable parameters within the R-Net control system. The R-Net can be
programmed using either the On-board Programming (OBP) facility, the Diagnostic Test Tool (DTT) or a Curtiss-Wright R-Net PC
Programmer.
WARNING:
Programming should only be conducted by healthcare professionals with in-depth knowledge of Curtiss-Wright control
systems. Incorrect programming could result in an unsafe set-up of a wheelchair for a user. Curtiss-Wright accepts no
responsibility for losses of any kind if the programming of the control system is altered from the factory pre -set values.

ON-BOARD PROGRAMMI NG
On-Board Programming (OBP) allows the wheelchair to be programmed, via the Joystick Module, to suit an individual user.
There is no need for any additional programming hardware. While in OBP mode, the joystick and the speed control buttons are
used to navigate the menus and make parameter adjustments.
If a parameter is available in OBP mode the title used on the LCD will be listed, in brackets, next to the Parameter Title in this
chapter.
Example: 6.9 Maximum Forward Deceleration - (Fwd Decel Max)

HOW TO ENTER OBP MODE
OBP in the field can be entered via two methods – connection of a hardware dongle or a keycode. The actual method required
is set by the factory programming of the control system.
NOTE:
OBP is not possible using an LED Joystick Module.
If the hardware dongle method is set, then a Curtiss-Wright OBP Dongle needs to be connected to allow access to OBP. To use
the dongle, follow the sequence below:
Turn off the control system.
Insert the R-net Dongle along the communication cables in the system configuration.
Turn on the control system.
After initialization press the Mode key until the OBP screen is reached. See following diagram.
