DX Dolphin Wizard Programming
The Wizard accesses a set of parameters that are programmed to define the
configuration desired by a wheelchair manufacturer.
Some parameters can be both read and written to (edited) by an OEM and a
Dealer. Other parameters can only be read but not edited. Some parameters
available to an OEM are not displayed by a dealer.
The DX System, with the Dolphin, supports up to five user selectable Drive
Programs. The Drive Programs govern the performance of the wheelchair, as
suitable for different environmental and user conditions. Drive Programs are
also adjustable with the HHP.
Remaining parameters are related to other system functions and DX Modules
which may, or may not, be included in your DX System. Parameters that may
be accessed by the HHP are marked with an asterisk (*).
Drive Program Parameters
The five Drive Programs (or Profiles) can be set up as, for example, an Indoors
program, an Outdoors program or a Sports program. These settings are
originally factory set to the values defined in the Chair Program used by the
Wizard during the down-loading process.
The values of the Drive Programs can be altered for a particular wheelchair
user using an HHP if necessary (except Damping Point and Sleep Timeout).
Note:
As all program settings are stored in the Dolphin, replacement of the
Dolphin in the DX System may result in a change in Drive Program values that
may be substantially and dangerously different from those of the Dolphin it
replaced. The Wizard may be used to up-load and save the 'old' system settings
for later reprogramming of the replacement Dolphin.
Program (Profile) 6 is a special program that is automatically selected when an
Attendant Control Unit (ACU) is connected and in the Attendant mode. Note
that Program 6 is
not
programmable using the HHP on standard Dolphins.
When the ACU is disconnected, or it returns to the 'User Mode', the wheelchair
automatically reverts to the Program that was selected prior the ACU
becoming active (see ACU User Manual for more details).
