Acceleration
The time it takes to reach the maximum speed.
• The user may also refer to this as “reaction” (prompt/slow).
• Reduce in the event of tremor or ataxia and for children’s wheelchairs (generally when the wheelchair and wheelchair user are light-
weight).
• Increase to better overcome minor obstacles at low speeds e.g. indoor thresholds.
Delay
The time it takes to brake from the maximum speed to the required drive speed or to come to a stop.
• Reduce if very smooth wheelchair handling is required at low speeds, for example, for users with low upper body tone/core stability.
• Increase at low speeds if precise driving (e.g. in a narrow living room) or quick reaction is required.
Turning speed
Determines the maximum speed at which you can drive in a circle or around a bend.
• Reduction results in more stable straight-line driving at high speeds, slow/forgiving at low speeds, for example with attendant control.
• Increasing at low speeds (indoors) supports driving around tight corners, at high speeds the wheelchair is sensitive/quick to react.
Turning acceleration
The time it takes to reach the maximum turning speed.
• It is also generally described as sensitivity/reaction.
• Increasing this parameter results in quicker reaction/acceleration.
• Reduce to adapt to tremor or ataxia or for attendant control.
1.3 “Attendant control” menu
The settings made in this menu affect the intuitive attendant control, which is available as an optional accessory and which is operated by
the wheelchair user‘s attendant. It has the same parameters that have been described in chapter 1.2 (indep.user mode menu). In addition
the menu includes the sensor deflection parameter.
Sensor deflection
• Reduces the required deflection to reach the maximum turning speed from 100% to 80%, 60% and 40%.
