X. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
I. LCD SCREEN
The status of the control system can be understood by observing
the LCD screen.
Screen Symbols
The Drive screen for the R-net has common components, which
will always appear, and components that will only appear under
certain conditions. Below is a view of a typical Drive screen in
Profile 1.
Battery Indicator
This displays the charge available in the battery and can be used to
alert the user to the status of the battery.
Steady: This indicates that all is well.
Flashing Slowly: The control system is functioning correctly, but you
should charge the battery as soon as possible.
Stepping Up: The wheelchair batteries are being charged. You will
not be able to drive the wheelchair until the charger is disconnect-
ed and you have switched the control system off and on again.
Speed Indicator
This displays the current speed setting. The speed setting is adjust-
ed using the Speed Buttons.
Current Profile
The Profile Number describes which Profile the control system is
currently operating in.
The Profile Text is the name or description of the Profile the con-
trol system is currently operating in.
In Focus
When the control system contains more than
one method of direct control, such as a sec-
ondary Joystick Module or a Dual Attendant
Module, then the Module that has control of
the wheelchair will display the In Focus symbol.
Speed Limit
If the speed of the wheelchair is being limited,
for example by a tilted seat, then this symbol
will be displayed.
If the wheelchair is being inhibited from driving,
then the symbol will flash.
Latched
When the control system is operating in a
latched condition this symbol will be displayed.
Restart
When the control system requires a reboot; for
example, after a module re-configuration, this
symbol will be flashed.
Fault
The control system can detect a wide variety of
errors. When the system has detected an error
that is not severe enough to cause the system to
trip, then this symbol will be displayed.
Motor Temperature
This symbol is displayed when the control system
has intentionally reduced the power to the
motors, in order to protect them against heat
damage.
Control System Temperature
This symbol is displayed when the control sys-
tem has intentionally reduced its own power, in
order to protect itself against heat damage.
Timer
This symbol is displayed when the control sys-
tem is changing between different states. An
example would be entering into Programming
Mode. The symbol is animated to show the
sands falling.
E-Stop
If the control system is programmed for
latched drive or actuator operation, then it is
normal for an Emergency Stop Switch to be
connected into the External Profile Switch Jack.
If the Emergency Stop Switch is operated or
disconnected, this symbol will be displayed.
Bluetooth
When Bluetooth Mode is entered the screen
will display the following icon.
Actuator Selection Screen
To adjust the seat position the actua-
tor screen must be visible. Depress
the Mode Button to scroll through
the Mode screens until you reach the
actuator screen, displayed below.
Actuator adjustment is achieved as follows.
• Move the Joystick sideways to select the desired axis. (This is
indicated by the section of the wheelchair that is highlighted)
• Move the joystick forwards and backwards to move the actu-
ator.
• Repeat these steps for each actuator that requires adjust-
ment.
• To drive again depress the Mode button until the Drive
screen is reached.
