11.5 hmc mini joystick as a chin control or hand
control
The HMC mini joysitck (Fig .11.5) is a small joystick which
can be handled with little strength (<10 gr.) and little
movement.
The HMC mini joysitck can be adjusted to the needs of
the user via 2 extra handles (Fig.11.6). In combination
with mounting kit it’s possible to manipulate the mini
joystick by finger, hand, tongue, chin, etc.
The joystick is completely protected against moisture,
which makes it suitable to use outdoors and when the
joystick isn’t used for long periods a hood can be placed
over it (Fig.11.7). This will give extra
11.6 proportional chin control (fig.11.8)
The proportional chin control must be used in
conjunction with the Omni Plus module. This is to give
visual feedback for the selection of drive profiles and
seating options.
warnIng!
Do not replace the joystick knob with any
•
unauthorised item. It may cause hazardous operation
and loss of control of the chair.
It is important that the joystick boot is replaced if it is
•
torn or brittle; failing to do so could cause substance
damage to the controller and unexpected movement
of the chair.
Ensure that you always have comfortable access to
•
the controls whilst the chair is moving and make sure
that the controller is fixed securely to the chair.
11.7 micro pilot joystick
The Micro Pilot joystick is a miniature joystick based
on a different technology than other mini “throw” based
joysticks. As little as 10 grams of force with virtually no
joystick deflection will activate the chair. All internal metal
construction means outstanding durability, (Fig 11.9).
