Additional symptoms table  

The table below lists main symptoms for possible failures and troubleshooting methods to find the source of the 
breakdown. 

NOTE:

 In the table below, checking or replacing a cable (actuator extension cable or R-Net cable) can be done 

with 

a temporary cable not belonging to the chair

. This makes it possible to verify whether the suspected faulty 

cable is truly defective without wasting time in unnecessary disassembly. 

 

Symptoms

 

Reason

 

Troubleshooting tips

 

 

Regardless of the chair’s power 

options configuration, it refuses to 
move forward or backward (Drive 
Lock O

ut ‘DLO’

 mode). 

 

The “

red turtle

 symbol flashes on 

the joystick with color screen or the 

yellow LED

 on extreme left of speed 

indicator flashes on the joystick with 
LED display. 

Note

: All power options are available 

on the joystick.  

The power 
module jumper is 
not connected 
properly, 
damaged or 
missing 

Verify that the jumper on the power module is properly connected and it is not 
damaged. Replace jumper as required.

 symbol flashes on 

the joystick with color screen or the 

yellow LED

 on extreme left of speed 

indicator flashes on the joystick with 
LED display. 

 

 

Note

: None of the power options are 

available on the joystick.  

The e-bx is not on 
or not detected by 
the R-Net power 
module. 

1.

 

Verify that the indicator light underneath the e-bx is constantly on or it is 
flashing and that all power options are available on the joystick. 

2.

 

If the e-

bx indicator light is off (or doesn’t flash) and the power options are 

not available on the joystick, check that the 24 V power supply is reaching 
the e-bx through contacts 1 & 4 of the R-Net bus cable 

3.

 

If the 24 V power supply is getting to the e-bx and the connection between 
the R-Net bus cable and the e-bx is good, replace the e-bx. 

4.

 

If the 24 V power supply is not reaching the e-bx, verify that the R-Net bus 
cables are properly connected from the power module to the e-bx. Check 
for any damage. Replace defective or suspicious cables (with intermittent 
contact). 

5.

 

If the e-bx indicator light turns on and the power options are not available 
on the joystick, verify that R-Net bus cables between the power module 
and the e-bx are properly connected and in good condition. Replace 
defective cables as required. 

6.

 

If replacing R-Net bus cables and bus bar does not change anything, replace 
the e-bx. 

7.

 

If replacing the e-bx does not change anything, replace the R-Net joystick. 

8.

 

If replacing the joystick does not change anything, replace the R-Net power 
module.

 

 

Regardless of the chair’s power 

options configuration, it refuses to 
move forward or backward (DLO 
mode).

Note

: All power options are available 

on the joystick.  

 

The tilt is lifted 
over 15° (normal 
operation) 

 

E-bx controller 
also thinks that 
the tilt is lifted 
over 15°. 

For chairs with iQ Tilt Actuators (weight capacity of less than 450 lb / 205 kg) or 
bariatric actuators (weight capacity between 450 lb and 550 lb / 205 kg and 250 kg 

1.

 

Lower the tilt to its minimum position and check to see if the chair can 
move forward or backward again. 

2.

 

If the chair still does not move (DLO mode), take the following steps: 

For an iQ Tilt Actuator

 

(Weight capacity of less than 450 lb / 205 kg)  

a)

 

Access the First special boot-up mode. 

b)

 

Completely forward retract the power recline. Make the tilt deploy to 
its maximum position and retract back to its minimum position. If error 
code #9661 appears on the joystick or this solves the problem, replace 
the tilt actuator and its extension cable
