7.11 charging and programming socket:

(Fig.9.10)

warnIng!

This socket should only be used for programming and 

• 

charging the wheelchair. 

This socket should not be used as a power supply for 

• 

any other device. 

Connection  of  other  electrical  devices  may  damage 

• 

the control system or affect the EMC performance of 

the wheelchair.

See Section 9.0 about charging.

The programming socket will enable an approved Sunrise 

Medical  authorised  dealer  to  re-programme  your  chair 

and also gain useful information when tracing any faults. 

When the chair leaves the factory, the parameters of the 

controller are set to default.

To  programme  the  controller  you  need  a  special 

programming device (handheld or PC software), which is 

available to your Sunrise Medical authorised dealer.

warnIng!

 

 

Programming  the  controller  of  the  wheelchair  is  only 

allowed through authorised personnel trained by Sunrise 

Medical. Incorrect controller settings could cause driving 

outside  the  safe  limits  and  could  result  in  damage  or 

injury.

note:

  Sunrise  Medical  does  not  accept  responsibility 

for  damages  which  result  from  unexpected  movement 

or  stopping  of  the  wheelchair  due  to  inappropriate 

programming or unauthorised use of the wheelchair.

7.12 vr2 dual control unit:

7.13 control button and indicator:

This shows which joystick has control. If the red wheelchair 

light is on the wheelchair occupants joystick has control. If 

the green attendant light is on the dual attendant systems 

joystick has control. The button is used to transfer control 

between the two choices, (Fig.7.4).

7.14 actuator button and led:

All VR2 dual attendant systems have an actuator button 

fitted  as  standard.  If  the  VR2  is  programmed  with  no 

actuators then this button has no function, (Fig.7.4).

wheelchairs with one actuator:

Depressing  the  actuator  button  once  will  enter  actuator 

adjustment mode. This will be indicated by the illumination 

of both actuator LED’s. Actuator adjustment can then be 

made by deflecting the joystick forwards and backwards.

To re-enter drive mode, depress either the actuator button 

or the speed button.

wheelchairs with two actuators:

Depressing  the  actuator  button  will  enter  actuator 

adjustment mode. Depressing the button once illuminates 

the  left  LED  and  deflection  of  the  joystick  forwards  or 

backwards  will  adjust  the  actuator  connected  to  that 

channel. Selection between the two actuators is achieved 

by deflecting the joystick to the left and right. As the actuator 

selected changes so will the LED which illuminates. Left 

for actuator 1 and right for actuator 2.

To re enter drive mode, depress either the actuator button 

or the speed button.
