Description

Drive Profiles

Forward Speed @
Maximum

Sets the maximum forward speed for the selected profile when the

selected joystick is pushed fully forward. Set to a low value for a
lower maximum speed, for example when setting an indoor driving

profile. Set to a higher value for faster driving, for example when

setting an outdoor driving profile.

Forward Speed @

Minimum

Sets the maximum forward speed of the chair with the joystick fully

forward and either Chair Speed set to minimum or the DCI speed

pot at minimum.

Forward

Acceleration*

Programs the forward acceleration rate. Set to a lower value for

soft and gentle wheelchair drive performance.

Forward
Deceleration*

Programs the forward deceleration rate. Set to lower values for soft
and gentle wheelchair drive performance. This value must always

be greater than "Forward Acceleration".

Reverse Speed @
Maximum

Sets the maximum reverse speed for the selected profile when the
selected joystick is pushed fully backwards. High settings are not

recommended.

Reverse Speed @
Minimum

Sets the maximum speed of the chair in reverse with the joystick
fully backwards and either Chair Speed set to minimum or the DCI

speed pot at minimum.

Reverse

Acceleration*

Programs the reverse acceleration rate. Set to lower values for soft

and gentle wheelchair drive performance.

Reverse
Deceleration*

Programs the reverse deceleration rate. Set to lower values for soft
and gentle wheelchair drive performance. This value must always

be greater than the programmed "Reverse Acceleration".
