CHAPTER 3 - PROGRAMMING
SK77898/2
4 Operation Parameters
4.1 Sleep Timer
Sets the period of time before the control system will turn itself off if the wheelchair is
not driven.
The time can be set between 1 and 10 minutes in steps of 1 minute.
If the time is set to 0 the system will never turn itself off.
4.2 Joystick Throw
This allows you to program the control system so that full speed can be reached with
a reduced joystick movement (throw). This is particularly useful for wheelchair users
with limited hand or arm movement.
4.3 Invert Joystick
This parameter inverts the direction of travel when moving the joystick.
This parameter can be set to On or Off.
On Deflecting the joystick Forward will result in Reverse drive.
Off Deflecting the joystick Forward will result in Forward drive.
Left and Right deflection of the joystick remain unchanged.
4.4 Steer Correct
This parameter compensates for any mismatching of motors to ensure that the
wheelchair drives directly forward when the control systems joystick is being pushed
directly forward.
It is normally set to zero but may be varied from -9 to +9 in increments of 1. If the
chair is veering to the left, you should increase the setting. If the chair veers to the
right, decrease the setting. If Swap Motors is set, this logic will be reversed.
4.5 Switch Bleep Volume
Switch Bleep Volume sets the volume of the audible feedback given whenever a
button on the VR2 is operated.
Adjustable between 0 and 10 in steps of 1.
If the parameter is set to 0 then the Switch Bleep function is effectively switched OFF.
The higher the value, the louder the audible feedback.
4.6 Speed Adjustment while Driving
This parameter sets whether the VR2's speed/profile buttons are active while the
wheelchair is being driven. The parameter can be set to on or off.
On Means the buttons are active while the wheelchair is being driven, so
the user can make maximum speed setting adjustments (or select a
different drive profile) while actually moving.
