VII. OPERATION
REMOTE PLUS CONTROLLER
The electronic controller is what you use to operate your power chair. The electronic controller enables you to
move the power chair, as well as monitor battery charge, electronic controller functions, and the condition of your
electrical system. The Remote Plus is part of a modular electronic controller system. The system consists of more
than one module. Typically, the Remote Plus is mounted to one of the armrests. See figure 37. It is connected to a
power module located on the power base through the controller communications connector. The Remote Plus may
be used to control some optional systems, such as power elevating seats or lights through an actuator/lighting
module (ALM) located on the power base.
The controller supplied with your power chair has been pre-programmed to meet the needs of the end user. The
program is set using either a personal computer with software provided by the controller manufacturer or with a
hand-held programmer, also provided by the controller manufacturer.
WARNING! The controller program can affect speed, acceleration, deceleration, and
braking. If it is programmed incorrectly or outside of the safe limits as determined by your
healthcare professional, it can create a dangerous situation. Only the power chair
manufacturer, an authorised representative of the manufacturer, or a trained service
technician should program the controller.
The Remote Plus consists of the
following:
1. joystick
2. keypad
3. controller communications connector
4. off-board charger/programming socket
JOYSTICK
The joystick controls the direction and speed
of your power chair. When you move the joy-
stick from the neutral (center) position, the
electromagnetic brakes release and allow
your power chair to move. The farther you
push the joystick from its neutral position, the
faster your power chair moves. When you

release the joystick and allow it to return to the neutral position, you engage the electromagnetic brakes. This
causes your power chair to decelerate and come to a complete stop.
WARNING! If your power chair begins to move in an unexpected manner, immediately
release the joystick. Unless the joystick is damaged, this action should stop your power
chair.
KEYPAD
The keypad is located directly in front of the joystick. It contains keys that you will use to control your power chair.
See figure 38.
