Fuses & control system

Control system

The wheelchair’s control system can be programmed in order to optimize the performance of the wheel-
chair while also maintaining a high level of safety regardless of the wheelchair’s other settings and
equipment. The control system can also be programmed in order to make adjustments needed for a spe-
cific user. Standard parameter files can be downloaded from Permobil’s website, 

www.permobil.se

For more information on programming the 

VR2

control system and obtaining parameter files, see the

technical user manual for programming Pilot+ / VSI / VR2 (Art.no. 205009-SE-0).

For more information on programming/adjustment of the 

Rnet 

control system and obtaining parameter

files, see the technical user manual for programming R-net. (Art.no. 205222-SE-0).

If the seat is raised above the standard position for wheelchairs equipped with a fixed seat tube, it is recommended that the
wheelchair’s control system be programmed so that the parameter for maximum forward speed is set to 75%. This particularly
applies if the user’s weight exceeds 100 kg.
