Programming Drive Profiles for different environments
• Turning speed can be higher for indoor drive profiles, because
fast turning at low speed can be helpful indoors to drive around objects.
• Fast turning at high forward speed can be dangerous, so the fast outdoor
drive profile should have a lower turning speed.

Warning:
The recommended parameter values are a guideline only. Testing is
required to verify suitability for individual chair designs and user
preference.
Note:
Adjust the
Load Compensation parameter (4.3.2.3 ) to the correct
motor resistance value before you program the Drive Profile speed
settings. Load Compensation controls the behaviour of the motor.
The behaviour of the motor changes the performance of all speed
and acceleration parameters. If you adjust the Load Compensation
parameter after you have set the speed parameters, you will
probably have to re-adjust many speed parameters again.
5.3.2.4 Single Drive Profile mode
Normally Drive Profiles are used to customise a chair to the comfort and driving habits
of one user. If a chair is frequently shared between users,
Single Profile Mode (see
5.3.10.4) in combination with Chair Speed Enable (see 5.3.10.3) can be useful.
Single Drive Profile mode makes it easy to quickly adapt a chair to different users or
situations without the need for extensive programming. When the HHP is plugged in,
the therapist or carer can easily adjust the overall Chair Speed and select the desired
Drive Profile (such as the Drive Profile for user X, or the Drive Profile for indoor use).
The user can not change the Drive Profile, because the Profile Select buttons work as
a digital Speed Pot for the Drive Profile that is currently active, they do not change
the active Profile. This makes sure that the user does not accidentally change the
Drive Profile to the Profile of another user, or the fast outdoor Profile when indoors.
