Permobil ICS - Adjusting Legrest Angle Offset

Programming Corpus 3G/HD/APE/VS - Specific Attributes
Adjusting Legrest Angle “offset” for Speed Reduction
When the Corpus 3G Seat is mounted on a power base with front casters (e.g. M300) it is necessary to
limit the speed of the wheelchair to approximately 1/4 of the maximum driving speed when the footplates
could come in contact with the front casters. The seat depth setting determines this angle, but it can be
fine tuned for the user’s lower leg length using an offset. A positive offset value is added to the setting
defined by the seat depth, resulting in the legrest needing to be elevated more to allow full speed driving.
A negative offset value is subtracted from this setting, allowing the legrest to be pulled in tighter to the
base before the speed restriction occurs.

Changing the Legrest Angle offset
1. Enter Legrest Angle Offset Adjustment
mode:
a) With the wheelchair off, press and hold
Buttons 1, 2 & 7 on the ICS Switchbox.
b) While holding these buttons, turn on the
wheelchair with the Joystick (or Input
Device).
c) When all LEDs on the ICS Switchbox turn
green, release buttons 1, 2 & 7.
LED #7 will flash RED and LED #8 will flash
GREEN to denote Legrest Angle Offset Adj mode.
2. Select the desired Offset value:
a) Once in Legrest Angle Offset Adjustment
mode, the current setting will be displayed.
b) Select the desired value using Button 1
and 5 on the switchbox.
Button 1 will increase the setting and Button 5 will
decrease the setting.
3. Save the desired setting:
a) When the desired setting is displayed,
press and hold Button 8 for two seconds
to save.
b) Turn off the wheelchair to exit Legrest
Angle Offset Adj mode.
c) Turn the wheelchair on and confirm the
legrest angle that affects driving speed
operates as desired. If not, repeat the
process.
If this setting is incorrect, it may be possible for the casters to collide with the footplates when the chair is driving at full speed.
This may result in damage to the casters and/or footplates and could cause personal injury.
