Joystick
The joystick has proportional drive control, meaning that further the joystick is pushed
from the upright (neutral) position, the faster the wheelchair or seat moves. Your top
speed, however, is limited by the programmed settings.
To slow the wheelchair to a stop, simply release the joystick. The wheelchair has
automatic speed and direction compensation to minimize corrections.
Charger/Programming Input
The charger/programming input is located at the front of the joystick housing. This
provides easy access for charging the wheelchair batteries. This port also serves as the
Remote Programmer Communication connection. Driving is prevented while the system
is charging.
Service Indicator
The AMBER service indicator will light when an error or fault occurs. Refer to Diagnostic
Codes on page 34 for a listing of the flash codes and what they indicate.
Information Gauge Display
Located on the front of the joystick housing, it provides the following information to the
user on the status of the wheelchair -
1. Power is on.
2. True state-of-battery-charge, including notification of when the battery requires
charging:
A. GREEN LEDs are lit, indicating well charged batteries.
B. AMBER LEDs are lit, indicating batteries are moderately charged. Recharge
batteries before taking a long trip.
C. RED LEDs are lit, indicating batteries are running out of charge. Recharge batteries
as soon as possible.
The Information Gauge display also serves as a system diagnostic device when a fault is
detected by the control module. A specific number of flashes of the LEDs indicate the type
of fault detected. Refer to the table for the diagnostic indications of the wheelchair status.
