Installation Manual Issue 1
6.2 Positioning
6.2.1 DX2-RJM/-LF
Position the remote module such that a typical user's arm is in a natural, comfortable position.
Note
:
It is the responsibility of both the manufacturer and the dealer to determine the most appropriate installation
suitable for any single user. This includes, but is not limited to, the placement of the remote module for long term,
comfortable use.
For wheelchair occupants using the DX2-RJM or DX2-RJM-LF, the OEM manufacturer should consider
providing a hand guard at the front of the compact remote module to protect the user's hand against
crushing, such as when manoeuvring under a table.
Warning
:
If the wheelchair's remote module has not been fitted with a hand guard, the user should be made aware that
their hand will not be protected from crushing, when, for example, manoeuvring towards or under a table.
When positioning the compact remote, consider the position of the master remote module too. The
wheelchair occupant must be able to see the master remote display when the compact remote
module's display is switched off or when actuators are being used, since actuator feedback is only
displayed on the master remote, not the compact remote.
6.2.2 DX2-ACU
Do not install or place the compact remote module higher than 1.2 m from the ground.
To minimise the risk of snagging, Dynamic Controls recommends permanently fixing the compact
remote module to the rear of the wheelchair, when used as an attendant remote, in line with
EN
12184:2009 8.6 Assistant control unit, push handles and handgrips
.
For compact remote modules that are not permanently fixed to the wheelchair, limit the length of the
cable between the product and the back of the wheelchair to:
1. minimise the chance of the product hitting the floor, and being damaged if dropped;
2. minimise the chance of the joystick landing on the floor and deflecting, causing a runaway sit-
uation;
3. minimise the chance of snagging the cable on an external object.
The recommended total length of the bus cable, between the product and the back of the wheelchair,
must be no longer than the height above the ground that the product is normally placed. For an extra
margin of safety, reduce the cable length by a further 0.25 m.
Note
:
It is recommended that the low force compact remote module (DX2-RJM-LF) is not used as an attendant remote. If
the remote is dropped, the mass of the remote, relative to the joystick deflection force, makes a runaway more
likely than if the full deflection force joystick (DX2-ACU) is used.
6.3 Wiring
For safe and reliable operation, the installation of looms and cables must follow the basic principles of
power wiring.
