DYNAMIC DX 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 Dynamic DX is part of a modular electronic controller system. The system consists of more than one module. Typi-
cally, the Dynamic DX is mounted to one of the armrests. See figure 36. It is connected to a power module located on the
power base through the controller communications cable. The other components are located inside the power base.
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.

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.
Out Of Neutral At Power Up
Your power chair joystick is equipped with Out Of Neutral At Power Up (OONAPU). If you power up the system and
the joystick is not in the neutral position, the system status light flashes rapidly for either as long as the joystick is out of the
neutral position or five seconds. If this has happened and all the segments on the battery condition meter are flashing, you
may have set a fault code. See “Europa Error Codes.”
The Europa master remote consists of the following :
1. joystick
2. keypad
3. controller communications connector
4. off-board charger/programming socket
Joystick
The joystick controls the direction and speed of the power chair.
When you move the joystick from the neutral (center) position,
the electromagnetic brake will release and allow the power chair
to move. The farther you push the joystick from its neutral position,
the faster your power chair will move. When you release the joystick
and allow it to return to the neutral position, you engage the
electromagnetic brake. This helps the power chair decelerate and
come to a complete stop. You can also use the joystick to control
power actuators.
