NSTALLATION
•
Gently pull the connector plate away from the housing, ensuring that the wiring remains intact.
•
Adjust the internal identifier switch position to suit the wheelchairs requirements.
• Replace the connector plate and affix to the housing using the retaining screws.
5.1 Switch Position Definitions
5.2 Input Functions
The IOM can accommodate Switch and Analogue Input Devices. This will be determined by a programmable, profiled
parameter, Input Type. Refer to Chapter 2 - Programming for details.
Input Example:
To fit a Head Switch Array, without a Rebus connector, into a Control System:
•
Set the internal identifier switch to position 0.
•
Connect the IOM to the R-net Control System.
• Connect the Head Switch Array to the IOM 9 Pin D-type Input connector.
• Turn the Control System on using the Head Switch Array On/Off control, or an On/Off button connected to the IOM’s On/Off
jack socket.
The Power Module is factory programmed to give control to the Input Device that has been used power it up. It is therefore
possible to connect multiple Input Devices via IOM’s.
It is possible to assign specific Input Devices to specific Profiles. Refer to the R-net Technical Manual, SK77981 for details.
5.2.1 Switch Function
When used with a Switch Input Device, such as a switch panel, the actual state of each of the 4 direction switches will be
encoded onto the R-net communication protocol. Simultaneous depressions are accepted to affect diagonal changes in
direction.
5.2.2 Proportional Function
When using a Proportional Input Device, such as a Mini Joystick, the joystick data will be encoded onto R-net communications
protocol. The nature of the joystick data will be dependent on the system parameter Configuration – Input. Refer to Chapter 2 -
Programming for details.
