3 Installation and Set-up of the Omni
The Omni can be used with many different types of SIDs and then in various
modes of operation, e.g. driving, latched driving, seat adjustment etc. The
Omni Module must be configured to meet the individual requirements of the
powerchair user. Below is a suggested installation and set-up sequence:
1. Assess user’s needs and select relevant SID.
2. Install the Omni onto the powerchair.
3. Install the SID onto the powerchair.
4. Program the Omni to match the SID.
5. Program the Omni to suit the user.
6. Program the R-net driving characteristics to suit the user.
This chapter is laid out as above and it is recommended that the sequence is
adhered to.
4 Assessing the User’s Needs
This should only be conducted by a healthcare
professional. PG Drives Technology accept no liability
for losses of any kind resulting in an incorrect
assessment of a user’s abilities.
4.1 Selecting the SID
Selection of the SID for the user is not covered in this document. It is the
responsibility of a healthcare professional to assess the needs of the powerchair
user and to select a suitable SID. It is the responsibility of the individual who is
installing the SID and the Omni to make sure the two are compatible with each
other and the powerchair on which they will be used. If you are in any doubt
contact the SID manufacturer, the powerchair manufacturer and/or PGDT. Your
powerchair manufacturer or mobility dealer will be able to advise of the
available SIDs for a particular powerchair model. It may also be useful to refer
to the section Installing the SID onto the Powerchair.
