REMOTE PLUS CONTROLLER
The electronic controller is what you use to operate your power chair. It takes the battery voltage and sends it to the appropri-
ate system. The electronic controller also enables you to monitor battery charge, electronic controller functions, and the
condition of your electrical system. Also, it may be used to control some optional systems such as power elevating seats and
lights.
The Remote Plus is a modular electronic control system. The electronics necessary to operate the power chair are contained
in several modules located on different parts of your power chair.
The Remote Plus system consists of the following components:
n
master remote (See figure 12.)
n
communications cable(s)
n
power module
n
motor wiring harnesses
n
battery wiring harnesses
n
actuator lighting module (for optional equipment)
The master remote is located typically on the end of an arm-
rest. The other components are located inside the power
base.
REMOTE PLUS MASTER REMOTE
The Remote Plus master remote consists of the following:
1.
joystick
2.
keypad
3.

JOYSTICK
The joystick controls the direction and speed of your power chair. When you move the joystick from the neutral (centre)
position, the electromagnetic brakes release and allow your power chair to move. The further you push the joystick 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. See figure 13. It contains keys that you will use to control your power
chair.
ON/OFF KEY
The on/off keys toggles the system power on and off.
WARNING! Unless faced with an emergency situation, do not use the on/off key to stop the chair. This will
cause the power chair to stop abruptly.
WARNING! Always turn the power off when you are stationary to prevent unexpected movement.
