4 Usage
4.1 Requesting control of the mobility device
The remote-in-charge is the remote that controls the
mobility device. If the secondary remote is not the
remote-in-charge, then the secondary remote is not able to
drive the mobility device or control the seating functions
and all LEDs on the secondary remote are switched off.
By default, the remote module, that powers up the
mobility device, is in-charge of the mobility device.
1.
Press button on remote module that you want to use to
control the mobility device.
The request is accepted and control is passed on from
one remote module to another remote module in the
system. The mobility device is ready-to-drive.
A restriction can be set, so that the secondary
remote can not become remote-in-charge. See
4.6.3
Restricted user indication (Attendant control unit),
page 19
.
4.2 Using the joystick
CAUTION!
Risk of injury
The secondary remote modules may only be used
with the authorized joystick knobs.
– Use of any other joystick knob requires that
the installer tests and confirms that the joystick
returns to the neutral position whenever the
joystick is deflected. Tests with the device
mounted horizontally and with a water soaked
knob (foam knobs only) are required if the
installer judges these risks as significant.
The joystick controls the direction and speed of the mobility
device’s drive and seating functions.
When the joystick is deflected from the center (neutral)
position, the mobility device moves in the direction of the
joystick movement.
The speed of the mobility device or powered seating function
is proportional to the joystick deflection, so that the further
the joystick is moved from the neutral position, the faster
the mobility device or powered seating function travels.
If the user moves the joystick back to the neutral position,
the mobility device or powered seating function slows down
and stops.
If the user releases the joystick from any position other than
the neutral position, the joystick will return to the neutral
position and the mobility device slows down and stops.
The joystick can also be used to wake up the system when
in sleep mode.
