DX CONTROLLER
The Dynamic DX electronic control system is a modular system. The electronics necessary to operate the
power chair are contained in several modules located on different parts of your power chair. The Dynamic
DX system consists of the following components:
n
master remote (Europa)
n
communications cable(s)
n
power module
n
motor wiring harnesses
n
battery wiring harnesses
n
actuator lighting module (for optional systems)
The master remote is located typically on the end of an armrest. The other components are located inside
the power base. The controller supplied with your power chair has been pre-programmed to meet the needs
of the end user. The program is set using either a personal computer with software provided by the control-
ler manufacturer or with a hand-held programmer, also provided by the controller manufacturer.
WARNING! The controller program can affect speed, acceleration, deceleration, and brak-
ing. But 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 manu-
facturer, an authorized representative of the manufacturer, or a trained service techni-
cian should program the controller.
Europa Master Remote
The Europa master remote consists of the
following (see figure 28):
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 joy-
stick 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 neu-
tral position, you engage the electromagnetic
brake. This helps the power chair decelerate
and come to a complete stop. You can also use
the joystick control power actuators.
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.
