1. General 

The 

Compact Joystick Advanced

 R-net (CJA R-net) is an input device and is coupled to 

the R-net wheelchair electronics. 
 

  It’s a proportional joystick module with an adjustable hand pad in a small housing. 

 

  The joystick D50800 from PG Drive Technology is used.  It is a very reliable 

contactless joystick which meets the most rigid requirements 

 

  The CJA R-net can be adjusted to any individual need and possibility of the user.  

This can be done by adjusting the ‘Throw’ parameters of the R-net system. 

  

  We can install the CJA R-net in a good position through the mounting kit. 

 

  Because the CJA R-net has a standard shaft diameter, it will accept adaptive knobs 

available on the market. 

 

  The CJA R-net can be directly connected to the R-net system. 

 

  The CJA R-net is completely protected against moisture, which makes it suitable to 

use outdoors.
