Introducing DX 

DX is a modular, expandable power wheelchair control system.  This modularity allows 
the system to be expanded and customized to particular end-user needs and 
handles the requirements from driving to full environmental control.   A power module 
and secondary remote are required along with two DXBUS cables to form the base of 
a G91 DX system.  A variety of modules are available to access additional functions 
and features. 

Example DX System
