2.1.4 OONAPU
OONAPU (Out Of Neutral At Power Up) is a safety feature that prevents accidental wheelchair movement
at LiNX Power On or when LiNX has an inhibit condition removed.
Direction control - driving
The Joystick controls the direction and speed of the wheelchair.
When the joystick is deflected from the center position, the wheelchair will move in the
direction of the joystick movement.
The speed of the wheelchair is proportional to the joystick deflection, so that the fur-
ther the joystick is moved from the center position, the faster the wheelchair will travel.
Direction control - accessories
The joystick can also control the direction of accessories, including a power Elevating
Seat, Tilt Seat or power Foot Riggings (ELR’s or Center Columns).
Stopping
To stop driving or to stop an accessory motion, release the joystick and it will automati-
cally return to the neutral position or manually move the joystick back to the neutral
position.
WARNING:
For units with the optional Power Seat, ONLY DRIVE THE WHEELCHAIR WHEN
THE POWER SEAT IS IN THE LOWEST POSITION to avoid tipping and possible serious injury.
If the LiNX is turned on while the joystick is out of neutral, an OONAPU fault will be displayed.
During an OONAPU warning, the battery gauge LEDs will flash continually to alert the user, and the
chair will not drive. If the Joystick is returned to the center position within five seconds, the warning
will clear and the wheelchair will drive normally.
If the joystick remains out of neutral for longer than five seconds, an OONAPU error will occur; the error is
displayed by the Status indicator flashing red and the chair will not drive. To clear the error, return the joystick
to the neutral position and cycle the power on the unit.
Warning: Avoid touching Joystick at power up
OONAPU helps prevent sudden and unexpected powerchair movements.
Note: Alternatively, Linx may be placed into a Lock Mode (See Locking Instructions 2.1.8). This may be preferable
to turning the power off if leaving the powerchair at a place where unauthorized persons may attempt to use
the powerchair.
