NSTALLATION
SK78813/5
Port 1 comprises:
A 3.5mm / 1/8” jack for the User Switch.
A 9-way input connector with a TRACE standard pin-out.
A Sip and Puff input.
Make sure that all SID connections to the Omni are securely mated.
Route and secure all cables and tubes in such a way as to prevent damage by
crushing, cutting or snagging.
6.2 User Switch
For a truly fail-safe system a normally closed User Switch is recommended. This
ensures that if the switch becomes accidentally disconnected the powerchair
will default to a stop condition. It is possible to configure the Omni to function
with normally open switch types, see section User Switch in the Programming
chapter for details. PG Drives Technology recommend that, whenever possible,
a normally closed switch should be used. If a normally open switch is used the
responsibility for that decision lies with the healthcare professional.
As a further level of safety, the Omni can also detect if the User Switch jack is
not properly located. If it is detected that the jack is not secure, then drive will
be prevented. Alternatively, the Omni can be programmed to allow slower
drive in this situation, i.e. a limp home facility, or to allow full drive. See Switch
Detect in the Programming chapter for more details.
