Programmer. Each of these require inline connection to the communication cable.
b. Program as needed.
c. Remove Dongle or recycle power.
NOTE–
Review the RNET OBP Owner’s Manual for more details on how to program your chair.
C. THERMAL ROLL-BACK
Your chair has a thermal roll-back circuit. This protects the controller from damage due to
overheating. In extreme conditions (such as repetitive hill climbing) the circuit will decrease
the power to your motors. This allows the chair to operate at a reduced speed. When the
controller cools, the chair will return to normal speed.
