SK77898/2
1 Introduction
This chapter gives an overview of the programmable parameters within the VR2
control system. The VR2 can be programmed with a PP1 handheld programmer or
a PG Drives Technology PC Programmer.
This chapter does not give details of how to make adjustments, for these details
please refer to the relevant documentation for the programmer you are using.
Programming should only be conducted by healthcare
professionals with in-depth knowledge of PGDT control
systems. Incorrect programming could result in an unsafe
set-up of a wheelchair for a user. PGDT accept no
responsibility for losses of any kind if the programming of
the control system is altered from the factory pre-set values.
1.1 PP1a Programmer
The PP1a handheld programmer is intended to give dealers and therapists access
to the programmable parameters which can be used to adjust the wheelchair to
an individual users requirements. These parameters are:
The PP1a can also be used to read the Fault Log and Timer. For details of how to use
the PP1a with the VR2 refer to the PP1a Programming and Diagnostics guide, SK73747.
1.2 PC Programmer
There are three versions of the PC Programmer one for dealers and therapists
which gives the same access level as the PP1a handheld programmer, one for
wheelchair OEMs which gives access to all standard VR2 control system parameters
and one for use by OEMs on their production lines. These are known as PCPa, PCPb
and PCPc respectively.
For details of how to use these software packages with VR2, refer to the documentation
supplied with the software.
