8.7 USING THE OMNI2 WITHOUT A USER SWITCH
With the exception of scanner operation it is possible to use the Omni2 without a User Switch. This can be achieved by setting
the Omni2 parameter Timeout to Menu. This function will mean that the User Menu will automatically be entered after a
period of SID inactivity. Once in the User Menu, the SID’s direction commands can be used to select the menu options. Refer
to the Timeout to Menu section in the Programming chapter for further details.
In this scenario, the Omni2 can be put to sleep by selecting that option in the User Menu. To awake the Omni2, the following
SID sequence is required: Left, Right, Left, Right. Note, this waking method only works if the Omni2 has been put to sleep via
the User Menu.
Because the User Switch provides a method of emergency stopping, then a method of emergency stopping will not exist. The
decision not to utilize the User Switch lies with the healthcare professional who is commissioning the powerchair.
WARNING (HP, IN)
Curtiss-Wright accept no liability for losses of any kind arising from not fitting a User Switch.
9 PROGRAMMING THE OMNI2 TO SUIT THE USER
WARNING (HP, IN)
Ensure the R-net Control System’s Drive, Acceleration and Deceleration settings are at a comfortable and safe level prior to
attempting to program the Omni2 to suit the user. Refer to the R-net Technical Manual SK77981 or the On-Board
Programming Manual SK78571 for details of how to program the R-net Control System.
Programming should only be conducted by healthcare professionals with in-depth knowledge of PG Drives Technology
electronic control systems. Incorrect programming could result in an unsafe set-up of a powerchair for a user. Curtiss-
Wright accept no liability for losses of any kind if these conditions are not met.
For further details of all the programmable parameters mentioned in this section, refer to the Programming chapter.
9.1 USER SWITCH
With the exception of scanner operation the User Switch provides the following functionality.
A short operation while not driving will select the different powerchair functions. Refer to the following Accessing Powerchair
Functions sections for further details.
A short operation while driving or making a seating adjustment will stop all movement, i.e. an emergency-stop function.
A long operation while not driving will put the Omni2 to sleep. To wake the Omni2, a short operation of the User Switch is
required.
The time of a long operation is preset to 1 second, but it is programmable from 0.25 to 5.0 seconds via the parameter Switch
Long. Refer to the Switch Long section in the Programming chapter for further details.
