Programming
Warning !!
Incorrect or inappropriate programming of a DX System can put the wheelchair into
a dangerous state. Dynamic Controls accept no responsibility or liability for
accidents caused by incorrect programming. This Programming section, the HHP
Manual, and the Dynamic Wizard Installation Sheet/Online Help must be read and
understood before attempting to program a DX System.
Ensure that the programmed wheelchair complies with all prevailing regulatory
requirements for your country and application.
Introduction
The driving performance of the DX System is dependant on its programming.
Different features can be selected and parameters fine tuned for a particular
application, or to suit the requirements of an individual.
The DX Remote and the DX Power Module are the modules most responsible
for defining the driving performance of the DX System. Software in the DX
Remote, processes the joystick movements according to its Drive Programs,
and sends direction and speed commands to the PM.
Default Programs
The Dolphin is programmed during manufacturing with a set of factory default
settings which are incorporated into a controlled document by Dynamic. The
default settings programmed into a Dolphin will not be suitable for all DX
Systems and must be checked and reprogrammed prior to connecting with a
DX System.
The optimum settings for all programmable DX Modules are determined by the
wheelchair manufacturer (OEM). If more than one type of wheelchair is to be
used by the customer, each wheelchair type may have its own set of optimum
settings.
Warning :
If a wheelchair is programmed with settings other than default,
under some very rare fault conditions default settings could be automatically
restored, thereby changing driving characteristics. This in turn could lead to a
chair moving in a direction or speed that is not intended. Programmers should
consider this risk when programming settings other than default.
