Chair Tamer
SHARK’s ‘Chair Tamer’ is a new technology designed to provide a stable and
comfortable driving experience on almost every combination of chair set up
and drive configuration.
Chair Tamer offers a simple and extremely effective means of solving the
traditional Mid Wheel Drive (MWD) and Front Wheel Drive (FWD) issues of
“spinning out” and “snaking”, without compromising chair speed or drive
performance.
4.3.1
Stability Profiles
The basis of Chair Tamer is the ‘Stability Profile’. A ‘Stability Profile’ is simply
a set of characteristics that define if and to what extent SHARK will assist the
driver to keep the chair stable. Higher levels of Chair Tamer will make SHARK
work harder to keep the chair stable and safe.
SHARK has eight Stability Profiles, any of which can be assigned to SHARK's
three Drive Programs simply by selecting the appropriate ‘Active Stability
Profile’ within each Drive Program.
For example, if Drive Program 2 has been set up with ‘Active Stability Profile’
7 selected, then the chair will behave with the speed and response
characteristics defined by Drive Program 2, but overlaid with a level of Chair
Tamer (or “drive assistance”) as specified by Stability Profile 7.
The 8 Stability Profiles are grouped into 2 sets of four (Stability Profiles 1 -4,
and Stability Profiles 5 -8). While it is possible for the powerchair manufacturer
to program Stability Profiles to suit their own specific needs, every SHARK
leaves Dynamic with the Stability Profiles programmed to suit generic chair
types (eg, RWD, MWD, FWD, etc) as described below.
4.3.2
Stability Profiles 1-4
Stability Profiles 1 -4 are each targeted at a particular chair type. Simply select
the profile that most closely reflects the chair configuration within each Drive
Program.
