Programming
Warning:
Performance adjustments should only be made by professionals in
the health care field or by persons fully conversant with the
adjustment process and the user’s capabilities.
Incorrect settings, or programming in an unsafe location, can cause
injury to the operator or bystanders, or damage to the vehicle or
surrounding property.
After the vehicle has been configured, check to make sure the
vehicle performs to the specifications entered in the programming
procedure. If the vehicle does not perform to specifications,
reprogram it. Repeat this procedure until the vehicle performs to
specifications. If the intended operation cannot be achieved,
contact your service agent.
Ensure that deceleration parameters are always higher than
acceleration parameters for a safe response.
It is the health care professionals responsibility to ensure that the user is
capable both of cognitively understanding and physically operating
the programmed features and functions.
With inappropriate programming settings, certain features and options
may not be accessible or perform as expected.

Introduction
The DX-GB is fully programmable for a variety of powerchair configurations and users.
All programmed values are also stored in the DX Master Remote. In the event the
DX-GB is replaced, there is no need to reprogram the DX system. If the Master Remote
is replaced, the DX-GB can simply be reprogrammed with an identical powerchair
program.
Note:
If the DX-GB or the motors are replaced, the motors will require re-
calibration for the new combination.
The PC-based Wizard is the preferred tool to program a DX system. You can use either
the Hand Held Programmer (HHP) or the Wizard to make parameter value
adjustments.
In a factory environment, the Wizard is the required tool for initial programming of the
chair. The HHP is required to calibrate the motors and can be used to make minor
adjustments for a specific user.
