REMOTE PLUS CONTROLLER
The electronic controller is what you use to operate your power chair. The electronic controller enables you to move the
power chair, as well as monitor battery charge, electronic controller functions, and the condition of your electrical system.
The Remote Plus is part of a modular electronic controller system. The system consists of more than one module. Typi-
cally, the Remote Plus is mounted to one of the armrests. See figure 34. It is connected to a power module located on the
power base through the controller communications cable.
The controller supplied with your power chair has been pre-programmed to meet your needs. The program is set using
either a personal computer with software provided by the controller manufacturer or with a hand-held programmer, also
provided by the controller manufacturer.
WARNING! The controller program can affect speed, acceleration, deceleration, and braking. If
it is programmed incorrectly or outside of the safe limits as determined by your healthcare
professional, it can create a dangerous situation. Only the power chair manufacturer, an authorized
representative of the manufacturer, or a trained service technician should program the controller.
The Remote Plus consists of the following:
1. joystick
2. keypad
3. controller communications cable
4. off-board charger/programming socket
Joystick
The joystick controls the direction and speed of your power
chair. When you move the joystick from the neutral (cen-
ter) position, the electromagnetic brakes release and allow
your power chair to move. The farther you push the joy-
stick from its neutral position, the faster your power chair
moves. When you release the joystick and allow it to return
to the neutral position, you engage the electromagnetic
brakes. This causes your power chair to decelerate and
come to a complete stop.
WARNING! If your power chair begins to move in an unexpected manner, immediately release the
joystick. Unless the joystick is damaged, this action should stop your power chair.
Keypad
The keypad is located directly in front of the joystick. It contains keys that you will use to control your power chair. See
figure 35.
