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.

Europa Master Remote

The Europa master remote consists of the following

(see figure 31):

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 further 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 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.

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 the all the segments on the battery condition meter are flashing, you may have

set a fault code. See “Fault Codes.”

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 32.
