Rev.1.0

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 wheelchair 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.

Please refer to your R-net Owner’s Manual for 
details.
