Control System

Control system

The wheelchair’s control system can be programmed in order to optimize the performance of the

wheelchair while also maintaining a high level of safety regardless of the wheelchair’s other settings

and equipment. The control system can also be programmed in order to make adjustments needed for a

specific user. Standard parameter files can be downloaded from Permobil’s website,

www.permobil.se

.

For more information on programming/adjustment of the

Rnet

control system and obtaining parameter

files, see the technical user manual for programming R-net. (Art.no. 205222-SE-0).
