7 General Parameters
7.1 Fast Brake Rate
Adjusts the deceleration rate used while fast braking. Fast braking is when the joystick
is pulled to the reverse position to make a faster stop.
Adjustable between 1 and 100 in steps of 1.
If this value is set lower than the Deceleration value, then the Deceleration value will
be used for fast braking.
7.2 Soft Stop Rate
Adjusts the deceleration rate that is used while the wheelchair is soft-stopping. Soft-
stopping happens if the VR2 is switched off while the wheelchair is being driven.
Adjustable between 0 and 200 in steps of 1.
7.3 Front Wheel Drive Rate
Front Wheel Drive Rate adjusts the driving characteristics of the VR2 to suit a wide
range of front wheel driven wheelchairs.
Adjustable between 1 and 100 in steps of 1.
Increasing this value means that the VR2's software is more suitable for higher speed
front wheel drive wheelchairs.
7.4 Soft Reverse Deceleration
Adjusts the deceleration rate used while the wheelchair is stopping in reverse. This
rate is separately adjustable from the Deceleration parameter, to prevent the
wheelchair tipping when reversing down a gradient.
Adjustable between 25 to 100% in steps of 1%.
The value is a percentage of the Deceleration parameter.
A typical value is 70%.
7.5 Reverse Driving Alarm
Sets whether the VR2 gives an audible warning while driving in reverse. The parameter
can be set to on or off.
On Means there is an audible alarm given.
Off Means there is not.
7.6 Brake Disconnected Alarm
Sets whether the VR2 gives an audible warning while the wheelchairs electrical brakes
are disconnected. The parameter can be set to on or off.
On Means there is an audible alarm given.
Off Means there is not.
