4.3 System overview

The DX2-RJM, DX2-RJM-LF and DX2-ACU operate as secondary remotes within a DX/DX2 wheelchair
control system. They connect to a master remote module via the fixed, trailing lead (DXBUS) as shown
in

Figure 3: System diagram

.

Note

:

Not all master remote modules are compatible with the compact remote modules - for more details, see section
4.3.2 Compatible master remote modules
.

4.3.1 System configurations

The DX2-RJM, DX2-RJM-LF and DX2-ACU compact remote modules can be used in the following
system configurations:

Primary

Secondary

Secondary

DX/DX2 Master remote

DX2-ACU

-

DX/DX2 Master remote

DX2-RJM / DX2-RJM-LF

-

DX/DX2 Master remote

DX-RJM

DX2-ACU

DX/DX2 Master remote

DX-ACU

DX2-RJM / DX2-RJM-LF

DX/DX2 Master remote

DX2-ACU

DX2-RJM / DX2-RJM-LF

Note that there can be only one RJM-type module in a system configuration. That is, the
configuration will support a DX2-RJM and DX2-ACU combination, or a DX2-RJM-LF and DX2-ACU
combination, but it will not support a DX2-RJM and DX2-RJM-LF combination.
