2 Before use

Risk of injuries and damage

• Do NOT install, maintain or use this product unless you have read and fully understood all

instructions in this manual and all relevant manuals regarding the wheelchair equipped with

this product.

• Do not try to open or disassemble the console in any case - there are no user-serviceable parts

inside.

• In case of doubts or questions, do not hesitate to contact your local specialist dealer, your care

provider, or your technical adviser to help you with this.

2.1 General safety instructions

Keep the following general warnings in mind during use:

• The operating consoles have been tested for electromagnetic compatibility on typical,

representative vehicles and comply with the appropriate EMC standards:

EN 12184: 2014, ISO7176-21: 2009.

• Nevertheless, sources of electromagnetic field may influence the driving performance of your

wheelchair, like the fields of mobile phones, power generators or high-power energy sources.

On the other hand, the electronics of your wheelchair can affect other electronic appliances

too, like alarm systems of shops and automatic doors. We therefore advise you to check your

operating console / wheelchair regularly for damage and wear, since these may enlarge the

interference.

• Be aware that the surface of the operating console may get very hot due to solar radiation or

heating devices. Be careful when touching.

• Make sure that the controller does not become colder or hotter than the allowed minimum

and maximum temperature, see the wheelchair user manual.

• Before switching the wheelchair on, be aware of your environment/situation. Adjust your

speed accordingly before driving off. We advise you to use the slowest speed setting to drive

indoors. For outdoor driving you can adjust the speed to a suitable speed at which you feel

comfortable and safe.

• Do not touch the connector pins. If you touch the pins, they can become dirty, or they can be

damaged by electrostatic discharge.

• If the wheelchair has not been fitted with a hand guard for the operating console, be aware

that your hand will not be protected from crushing, for example while manoeuvring towards a

table.

• The XLR connector on the controller is to be used exclusively for the intended purpose of

charging the battery. The warranty will lapse if any unauthorized device is connected to this

port.

• Make sure that the battery charger that is used with the vehicle has a drive-inhibited function

that is correctly connected for use with the controller. This drive-inhibited feature is intended

to prevent the chair from driving while the battery is being charged. If you are not sure, ask

your dealer.

• Immediately turn the controller off and consult your service agent if the vehicle:

o is damaged;

o does not behave the same every time;

o does not respond normally, the way you expect it to;

o becomes hotter than normal;

o smokes;

4 Operating console functions

The operating console with chin controller enables you to control all driving components as well

as the motors to adjust your body position. For your own safety, and to prevent that the wheelchair

gets damaged, movements are monitored by the electronics. This may result in block of

movement, speed decrease or complete stop.

4.1 Switching ON / OFF

Put the joystick in the neutral (central) position before pressing the ON/OFF button.

If the console is switched on with the joystick out of the neutral position, the wheelchair will

not drive. Release the joystick (return to neutral) within 5 seconds to unlock the drive. If the

joystick is not released within 5 seconds, the fault turns into a module fault which is

indicated by the red blinking LED in the ON/OFF buttons. The wheelchair will not drive. To

clear the module fault, release the joystick and switch the operating console OFF and then

ON again.

• To switch the operating console ON: either press the green ON/OFF button (1) on the chin

controller, or press the ON/OFF screen button (2) or chin controller button (3).

The start screen is displayed for a few seconds, after which the operating screen appears.

The LED (status indicator) in the ON/OFF buttons goes on. When it turns green, the operating

console is ready for operation. When the LED starts blinking in red, there is a failure, see §4.2

and §5.

• To switch the operating console OFF when it is ON: either press the ON/OFF button (1) on

the chin controller, or press the ON/OFF screen button (2) or chin controller button (3).

The operating console will power down and the status indicator

goes out.

Switching ON/OFF

4.1.1 Emergency stop

If you need to stop a driving or body-positioning movement quickly, press the ON/OFF button to

perform an EMERGENCY STOP. The wheelchair will come to a halt quickly.

4.1.2 Sleep mode

The operating console will go into sleep mode after a period of inactivity (default 5 minutes). When

the system sleeps, it is partially turned off to reduce energy consumption.

To reactivate the operating console, press a button or move the joystick.

4.2 Failures and blocks

When the operating console is powered and a failure

appears, the indicator of the ON/OFF buttons starts

blinking in red, see picture. The number of blinks indicates

the fault code. For a few seconds, a triangle with fault code

(A) is displayed. The ON/OFF buttons will keep blinking.

Failure indication and drive inhibited

In case of a failure, one or all functions of the operating

console are blocked. This is indicated by the “forbidden”-

symbol and the yellow warning bars (B).

The status is indicated by a small symbol (C) in the top corner of each screen.

For more information, see §5.

4.3 Battery status and charging

Risk of injuries and damage

• Follow the charging instructions in the wheelchair instruction manual and the supplier’s manual

of the battery charger.

4.6 Joystick operation (driving and braking)

Operating the joystick in a specific direction will move the electric wheelchair in that direction. The

speed of movement depends on the displacement of the joystick. If the joystick is pushed/pulled

to maximum displacement, the speed will be maximal (within the selected drive mode).

By moving the joystick to its central position (neutral) during driving,

the brakes will start working until the wheelchair stops:

• For gradual braking, move the joystick slowly

• For a quick stop, release the joystick; the wheelchair will stop

as quickly as possible.

Joystick movements

Make sure that the joystick is in neutral (central) position when pressing the on/off button,

otherwise the electronics will be locked.

After switching the operating console ON by the ON/OFF button, the joystick stays in the

central position for at least five seconds. The console has been programmed this way for

technical and safety reasons. If joystick and ON/OFF button are activated at the same time,

the steering unit is locked and will only unlock after switching completely OFF.

Make sure that the free-wheel lever is in braking position BEFORE switching the wheelchair

ON. Electromagnetic brakes do NOT function if the wheelchair is in free-wheel mode. This

is indicated on the operating console. Driving is not possible.

To prevent unintended changes of the settings, the operating keys disappear during

operation of the joystick. As soon as the joystick is in neutral position, the keys appear

again.

4.7 Operating console lock

It is possible to lock the operating console, to prevent unauthorized use of the wheelchair.

• To lock the console: Press the ON/OFF button until the lock symbol appears and the screen

goes black.

• To unlock the console: hold your finger on the screen. The lock symbol appears again,

together with a white loading bar around the screen. Wait until the bar is fully loaded, the

console now becomes operable again.

4.8 Adjusting your body position

Risk of injuries or damage

• Be aware that the stability decreases when the wheelchair is moved from sitting straight to

inclined position.

• Make sure there is enough space around the wheelchair to operate the backrest and seat.

The wheelchair's adjusting functions can be operated from the S-menu. Depending on your type

of wheelchair, there can be up to 6 submenus.

• To adjust your body position, move the joystick to the front or back, according to the arrows

on the screen.

• To return to the basic sitting position, move the joystick to the back for each adjusting

movement.

4.9.1 Limited driving speed

For your safety, the driving speed of your wheelchair will be automatically reduced when certain

body position alterations have been made. The drive of the wheelchair is then limited to the lowest

speed setting D1, or even becomes completely blocked.

Driving and speed limitations occur when:

• the lift has been adjusted to a higher position. Only

speed setting D1 is available.

• the backrest inclination exceeds a certain angle

(see figure 15):

1. All functions of your wheelchair are available.

2. Only speed setting D1 is available.

3. Driving your wheelchair is no longer possible.

Raise the backrest until the block is lifted. Backrest inclination

To lift the speed/driving limitations, lower the lift to standard (lowest) position, and adjust your

seat and backrest to upright sitting position.

4.10 Adjusting the chin controller
