Driving the wheelchair with the controller
2. Driving the wheelchair with the controller
2.1
Switching the controller on or off
To be able to drive or operate the electronic adjustment options of the wheelchair, the
controller must be switched on. Press the on/off button (B in figure 1.2).
2.2
Driving the wheelchair
Driving an electric wheelchair is done by operating a joystick. Move the joystick
forwards and the wheelchair will also move forwards. Steer left and right and the
wheelchair will turn.
2.3
Speed
The maximum speed can be controlled by the speed regulator on the controller (F1 en
F2 in figure 1.2). The speed bar on the display screen will display the maximum speed
(D2 in figure 1.3). Speed can be controlled with the joystick while driving. If the joystick
is moved a little, the wheelchair will move more slowly.
2.4
Driving Profile
This controller can also be set to make the wheelchair suitable for different driving
profiles or environments. For example, selecting the profile for indoors will ensure that
the wheelchair will react more 'calmly'. Once outside, the profile can be adjusted to a
more 'robust' setting. The name of the current profile is displayed in the speed bar (D4
in figure 1.3). R-net allows you to adjust the maximum speed within different profiles or
environments.
2.5
Selecting a profile
To switch to a different profile, just press the 'profile' button (L in figure 1.2). Press the
'profile' button until the most appropriate profile has been selected.
