Both Actuator Channel 2 (Tilt) Up and Down directions will be inhibited when the seat

is fully raised, i.e. Inhibit 2 input in Band 3.

Application 2:

A wheelchair is fitted with a reclining seat. It is required to offer a programmable

angle of recline to suit different users. A potentiometer of maximum value 10KOhm

is fitted to the recline mechanism and is connected to the VR2s Inhibit 2 input. The

recline motor is driven by the Actuator Channel 1 output.
By programming the Actuator Channel 1 Up Inhibit and Actuator Channel 1 Down

Inhibit parameters as below, it is possible to program the maximum angle of travel

of the recline mechanism via the Inhibit 2 Threshold Level parameters.
