12 control panel
The wheelchair uses a color screen joystick
module. With this joystick module all functions
of the wheelchair can be controlled. This
joystick module can be mounted on the left or
right armrest or even as an integrated desktop
unit.
The joystick module contains a few major components which will be explained
separately.
12.1 charging socket
The charging socket is used to charge the batteries. Whilst charging the
batteries, the driving of the wheelchair is automatically blocked.
12.2 joystick
The primary function of the joystick is to control the speed and direction of the
wheelchair. The further you push the joystick from the center position the
faster the wheelchair will move. When you release the joystick the brakes are
automatically applied. If the wheelchair is fitted with powered seat functions,
the joystick can also be used to move and select the specific powered seat
function.
Several different shapes of joystick knobs are available to optimize the control
of the joystick.
