8.0 Troubleshooting using the VR2 Hand Control
WARNING!
Always consult your Sunrise Medical authorised dealer
when a diagnostic fault has appeared on your hand
control.
The battery gauge and maximum speed/profile indicator
show the status of the control system.
Battery Gauge is steady
:
This indicates that everything is OK.
Battery Gauge flashes slowly:
The control system is functioning correctly but the batteries
need charging as soon as possible.
Battery Gauge steps up:
The wheelchair batteries are being charged. You will
not be able to drive the wheelchair until the charger is
disconnected and you have switched the control system off
and on again.
Battery Gauge flashes rapidly even with the joystick
released:
The control system safety circuits have operated and
the control system has been prevented from moving the
wheelchair.
This indicates a system trip. i.e. the VR2 has detected a
problem somewhere in the wheelchairs electrical system.
• Switch off the control system
• Make sure that all connectors on the wheelchair and
the control system are mated securely.
• Check the condition of the battery
• If you can’t find the problem, try the self help guide
given over the page, (Fig.8.1)
• Switch on the control system again and try to drive the
wheelchair.
WARNING!
If the safety circuits operate again, switch off and do not try
to use the wheelchair.
Contact your Sunrise Medical Authorised Dealer.
Self help guide: (Fig.8.1, overleaf).
If a system trip occurs you can find out what has happened
by counting the number of bars on the battery gauge that
are flashing.
Go to the number on the list which matches the number of
flashing bars and follow the instructions.
Slow or sluggish movement:
If the wheelchair does not travel at full speed or does not
respond quickly enough and the battery condition is good,
check the maximum speed setting. If adjusting the speed
setting does not remedy the problem then there may be a
non hazardous fault.
Consult your Sunrise Medical Authorised Dealer.
Speed / Profile Indicator ripples up and down:
This indicates the control system is locked, refer to section
7.1. for details on how to unlock the control system.
Speed / Profile Indicator flashes:
This indicates that the speed of the wheelchair is being
limited for safety reasons. The exact cause will depend on
the build of the chair but usually indicates that the seat is
elevated.
Actuator LED flashes:
This indicates that the actuators may be inhibited in one or
both directions.
Consult your Sunrise Medical Authorised Dealer.
