Programming the Remote Controller
The VR2 Controller is fully programmable to suit individual requirements and should
therefore be set up for the User, by a suitably qualified person using the appropriate
programming devices, at the time of hand-over.
NOTE: Programming should only be carried out by Healthcare Professionals
with in-depth knowledge of the PGDT Control Systems. Incorrect
programming could result in an unsafe set-up of the wheelchair for the User.
Neither PGDT or RMS Ltd will accept any liability, for losses or injury caused
by incorrect adjustments made, by non-suitably qualified persons, where the
system is altered from the original factory pre-set values.
Driving the Invicta Wheelchair
—
General
Make sure the Control System is securely
mounted and that the Joystick position is set
correctly for the User. The hand or limb to be
used to operate the Joystick, should be
supported, i.e. by the sidearm pad. Never use
the Joystick as the sole support for your hand or
arm as wheelchair movements and bumps
could affect your control. Both the Sidearm and
Remote Controller positions are adjustable to
suit individual requirements. Fig.31.
To set the correct Sidearm height, slacken
Sidearm Height Adjustment Thumb-screw,
sufficient to enable the Sidearm to be
repositioned upwards or downwards.
Retighten Thumb-screw, ensuring the screw
thread engages into the required positioning
hole.
To set the Remote Controller in the correct position, slacken both locking grub-
screws, slide Controller Stem forwards or rearwards, then secure in the required
position by retightening grub-screws sufficiently to prevent any movement.
Getting Ready to Drive your Invicta
Operate the “ON/OFF” switch. The battery gauge will blink, then remain “ON”
after a second.
Check that the maximum speed control is set to a level which suits you.
Push the Joystick to control the speed and direction in which you want the
wheelchair to travel.
NOTE: If you push the Joystick before, or just after, you switch the Control
System “ON”, the battery gauge will ripple up and down and the wheelchair
will not be allowed to move. You must release the Joystick to resume normal
operation.
If you do not release the Joystick within five seconds, the wheelchair will not
be able to move, even if release the Joystick and push it again. The battery
gauge will then flash rapidly.
You can re-
set this condition, by switching the Control System “OFF” and
then back “ON” again.
If the battery gauge continues to flash rapidly, this means that the VR2 has
detected a problem somewhere in the wheelchair’s electrical system. Refer to
the Self-Help information on page 28.
