In latched operation, a single depression of the User Switch whilst one of the
‘arrow’ icons is shown will cause the powerchair to drive in that direction for a
period of time set by the R-net power module parameter, ‘Latched Timeout’.
(Please refer to the user guide for the programming method you are using for
further details of these parameters and latched operation).
To ease control of the chair while driving forwards, the scan sequence will
change to:
Forward, Right, Reverse, Left, Reverse, Right, Reverse, Left, Reverse,
Right, Forward.
If the R-net system is configured for latched operation in reverse as well as
forwards, the scan sequence will change when driving in reverse to:
Reverse, Right, Forward, Left, Forward, Right, Forward, Left, Forward,
Right, Reverse.
7.2 Seating Control
Seating mode can be entered from the User Menu via an operation of the User
Switch. The Omni will sequentially scan though each available actuator ‘axis’
and then finish with an ‘Exit’ option to return to Drive, the User Menu or the next
sequential function. If the User Switch is operated when one of the actuator
axes are shown, a new scanning sequence will begin. The Omni will step
through, ‘up’, ‘down’ and ‘exit’ choices. Each option can then be selected with
an operation of the User Switch.
The scanning rate of the actuator axes is set to approximately 1 second and
cannot be altered through programming.
7.3 Associated Programming
It is possible to set up the Omni so that the functions can be navigated audibly.
This can be useful if the user cannot easily always see the Omni’s screen. Refer
to the section, Using the Omni by Sound in the Advanced Section of this
manual.
It is not advisable to program the Switch to Standby
parameter in the R-net power module when using
Single Switch Scanner Type SIDs.
