10 PROGRAM THE R-NET DRIVING CHARACTERISTICS TO SUIT THE USER
Now that the Omni2 has been programmed to suit the SID, the powerchair’s drive performance must be programmed to suit
the individual user. By using one of the methods explained in the section How to Set-Up the Omni2, the powerchair’s speeds,
acceleration rates and braking rates can be adjusted to meet exact requirements. Refer to the user guide for the programming
method you are using for further details of the available adjustments. While conducting this programming you may also need
to refer to the previous section Programming the Omni2 to Suit the User. It is recommended you read that section before
undertaking any programming.
Before test driving the system, ensure there is sufficient space in which to drive the powerchair, and that you and the user
understand how to stop the powerchair quickly.
Firstly, refer to the operating instructions for the type of SID in use. Ensure that the user fully understands each SID command.
It is advisable to initially select the lowest speed setting and allow the user to become familiar with the controls before
increasing the setting.
The Omni2 also contains a training function, whereby any of the SID’s directional commands can be disabled. For example,
the left and right commands could be disabled, in order to allow the user to become familiar with driving forwards. Refer to
the Programming chapter for further details.
WARNING (HP, IN)
Select values that are comfortable and safe for the powerchair user. It is the responsibility of the healthcare professional to
ensure these values are comfortable and safe. Curtiss-Wright accept no liability for any losses resulting from unsuitable
values.
