80
Periminter
Deadband
0 – 50 %
Determines how close to the stop (gate) the joystick has to be moved
before it is recognised as fully deected. At a value of 0%, it must be
deected all the way to the stop (gate).
Center
Deadband
5 – 20 %
Determines how far the joystick must be deected from the centre
position so that the wheel lock is released and the power wheelchair
starts moving. At the minimum value of 5%, only a small movement
is required for the power wheelchair to start moving.
Throttle
Hysteresis
5 – 10 %
Determines how far the joystick must be deected past the centre
deadband so that the wheel lock is released. The wheel lock is re-
activated in the centre deadband. This prevents the wheel lock from
being activated and deactivated in the vicinity of the centre deadband.
Rotate
Deadband
80 – 100 %
Facilitates easier turns by establishing the steering signal above
which the driving speed is reduced to zero. This value is usually set
to 93 – 98%.
Quick Stop
Pause
0.0 – 1.0 s
Determines the pause after which the wheelchair accelerates backwards
following a quick stop. This allows the driver to release the joystick in
the centre position without having the wheelchair move backwards.
Start Delay 0.0 – 1.0 s
Delay before the wheelchair starts moving after the joystick is moved
from the centre position.
Throttle
Calibrate
On/Off
This parameter is set to On in order to start the joystick auto-calibration
procedure. After completing the procedure, the parameter must be
set back to Off.
Carrying out the procedure: Set the joystick to the centre position and
set this parameter to On. The horn will sound once. Then fully turn
the joystick twice at the stop, clockwise or counter-clockwise. Again,
the horn will sound once.
Release the joystick and set the calibration parameter back to Off.
Reverse Beep On/Off
Emits an audible alarm when the power wheelchair is driving
backwards.
Command Beep On/Off Emits a short beep each time a button is pushed.
Error Beep On/Off Emits an audible alarm when an error is detected.
Backlight Day 0 – 100 %
Determines the brightness of the LCD backlight when the headlights
are turned off.
Backlight Night 0 – 100 %
Determines the brightness of the LCD backlight when the headlights
are turned on.
