REMOTE PLUS CONTROLLER
The electronic controller is what you use to operate your power chair. It takes the battery voltage and sends
it to the appropriate system. The electronic controller also enables you to monitor battery charge, electronic
controller functions, and the condition of your electrical system. Also, it may be used to control some
optional systems such as power elevating seats and lights.
The Remote Plus is a modular electronic control system. The electronics necessary to operate the power
chair are contained in several modules located on different parts of your power chair.
The Remote Plus system consists of the
following components:
n
master remote
n
communications cable(s)
n
power module
n
motor wiring harnesses
n
battery wiring harnesses
n
actuator lighting module (for optional
equipment)
The master remote is located typically on the
end of an armrest. The other components are
located inside the power base.
Remote Plus Master Remote
The Remote Plus master remote consists of the following (see figure 34):
1. joystick
2. keypad
3. controller communications cable
4. off-board charger/programming socket
Joystick
The joystick controls the direction and speed of your power chair. When you move the joystick from the
neutral (center) position, the electromagnetic brakes release and allow your power chair to move. The
further 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. See figure 35. It contains keys that you will use to
control your power chair.
