17 CHAPTER CHAPTER 1 1 HEALTH & SAFETY Health & Safety Good Working Practice Whilst working on powered mobility products, it is essential to observe good working practice. Below are a series of safety guidelines and recommendations. Please note that these precautions are intended to serve only as a guide and are not intended to supersede or replace any safety statute, NHS or other safety regulations. General Always wear suitable protective clothing when handling batteries. Always wear suitable eye protection when drilling or inspecting. When safe to do so, wear protective gloves when handling the running gear or batteries, as these parts are exposed to paths, parks etc. If the drive wheels have to be raised off the floor, always use a pair of axle stands to secure the vehicle correctly. Batteries All work carried out on batteries or battery boxes should demand a degree of extra caution. Always make sure that the batteries are disconnected from the vehicle before commencing electrical work. Always check that the battery charger is disconnected from the vehicle / batteries before commencing work. Do not smoke. Keep batteries away from all sources of ignition. Do not place objects on the battery tops. Always try to keep someone within earshot of your work area so that they may come to your assistance if needed. Always wear personal protection when handling batteries including eye / face protection and gloves. Make sure there is easy access to soap and water in case of acid spills. Avoid touching eyes or unprotected parts of the body while working on batteries. Remember that non sealed batteries can contaminate any packaging, housing or boxes they may have been transported in, so handle all packaging with care, especially when disposing of. If battery acid should come into contact with bare skin or clothing, be sure to wash immediately using plenty of soap and water. If battery acid enters the eyes, flush with running cold water for as long as possible while medical help is sought. WARNING! SOME PROCESSES & PROCEDURES MAY INVOLVE LIFTING HEAVY PARTS OR ASSEMBLIES. ALWAYS EMPLOY CORRECT LIFTING TECHNIQUES & WEAR SUITABLE SAFETY GEAR WHEN APPLICABLE. HEAVY ITEMS INCLUDE; BATTERIES, MOTORS WHEEL CHAIR CHASSIS, WHOLE SEATING SYEMS AND MOVING THE WHEELCHAIR INTO CERTAIN POSITIONS. 1:1

18 CHAPTER 1 Health & Safety HEALTH & SAFETY Batteries continued Battery Chargers When the tops of batteries are exposed, take extra care when working on or around the terminals. Do not allow metal tools to drop on to or touch the exposed terminals of the batteries or other exposed connections as this could cause a short circuit, which may result in an explosion. Remove personal items of jewellery such as rings, watches, chains etc. before commencing work on batteries. If such items were to cause short circuit whilst being worn, very serious burns would result. Batteries are constructed using very heavy materials. Because of this it is essential that correct lifting techniques be employed when moving batteries around. It is also recommended that safety footwear be worn. When disposing of old batteries, please ensure that correct disposal procedures are followed. Contact your local authority for their recommendations. WARNING: Although the R-net control system is designed to be extremely reliable and each unit is rigorously tested during manufacture, the possibility of a system malfunction always exists (however small the probability). Under some conditions of system malfunction, the control system must (for safety reasons) stop the chair instantaneously. If there is any possibility that you could fall out of the chair as a result of a sudden braking action, it is imperative that a restraining device, such as a seat belt supplied with the wheelchair, is in use at all times when the wheelchair is in motion. Sunrise Medical accepts no liability for losses of any kind arising from the unexpected stopping of the wheelchair, or arising from the improper use of the wheelchair or control system. Remember battery chargers are connected to mains electricity Always observe all guidelines and laws relating to mains connected installations and equipment. Never operate the battery charger in wet or damp conditions. If you suspect that the charger has been exposed to water or excessive damp, do not use it. Return the unit back to the dealer/supplier for inspection. If the battery charger is suspected of being defective or is visibly damaged, return the unit back to the dealer for inspection. WARNING: Electronic equipment can be affected by Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI). Such interference may be generated by radio stations, TV stations, other radio transmitters and mobile phones. If the chair exhibits erratic behaviour due to EMI, turn the control system off immediately and consult your service agent. Sunrise Medical accepts no liability for losses of any kind arising from failure to comply with this condition. Your wheelchair complies with appropriate National and International EMC legislation. For comprehensive instructions and advice on EMC & EMI conformity, please consult your wheelchair Owner s Manual/ Instruction Book. The wheelchair user must comply with all wheelchair safety warnings. Sunrise Medical accepts no liability for losses of any kind arising from failure to comply with this condition. WARNING: Do not operate the control system if the chair behaves erratically, or shows abnormal signs of heating, sparks or smoke. Turn the control system off at once and consult your service agent. Sunrise Medical accepts no liability for losses of any kind arising from failure to comply with this condition. 1:2

Position In general the modules must be mounted in a position where they are not exposed to conditions of water or dust above those specified in ISO7176/9. The modules are designed to withstand levels of shock and vibration experienced when mounted to the chassis of a wheelchair. Direct impacts onto any unit should be avoided. Blanking PlugS To maintain the IPX4 moisture rating, ensure that Blanking Plugs are refitted to any unused socket. Cables All cables to the modules must be routed and secured in such a way as to prevent damage to them, for example by cutting or crushing. Please refer to the Wheelchair Technical Manual for wiring information. WARNING Joystick Module Wiring The Joystick Module is connected to the Power Module with a Communication Cable. Please ensure this cable is kept in good condition. Advise the wheelchair user/carer to inspect the condition of this cable on a regular basis. 6:12

53 CHAPTER 7 CHAPTER 7 FUNCTION ELPM90 Power Module NOTE: The PM120 has the same operation as the ELPM90 except there is no actuator output connector. 1 Inhibit Connections The Power Module contains the Inhibit 2 and 3 connections, (Inhibit 3 is the OBC), These connections can be used to limit speed, inhibit drive and /or inhibit actuator channels. Actuator Connections The EL Power Module - EL PM90, has a single actuator connector. The actuator channel is rated at 12A maximum. For the EL PM90 Actuator Connector to operate the parameter Seating Module Enabled must be set to YES. Refer to Chapter 9 Programming Techniques, for full details. On-Board Charger Connections The Battery +ve and 0V connections are rated at 12A rms. Use suitably rated wire for these connections. The maximum permissible charging current is 12A rms. WARNING Sunrise Medical uses the OBC connection as an inhibit only. Charging is provided by an off-board charger. Sunrise Medical accepts no responsibility for any other use of the OBC. Batteries The control system is designed for operation with 24V lead acid batteries. The system will operate with wet or gel electrolyte types. WARNING Sunrise Medical uses only Gel or AGM type batteries. Sunrise Medical accepts no responsibility for the use of any other battery type. 7:1

54 CHAPTER 7 FUNCTION ELPM90 Power Module Battery Charging The Off-Board Charger can be connected through a Charger Socket found on either a Joystick Module or the Omni. The charging socket is Neutrik 3 pin type NC3FPP or equivalent, and the maximum charging current is 12A rms. Only chargers fitted with Neutrik NC3MX plugs should be connected into the Joystick Module. The maximum permissible charging current for both methods is 12A-rms. WARNING Always use the charger supplied with the wheelchair. If you use another charger; The maximum permissible charging current for both methods is 12A-rms. To prevent the wheelchair from driving whilst the charger is connected, pin 3 must be linked to pin 2 inside the charger s plug. Do not exceed the maximum charging current of 12A rms. Always use an Off-Board Charger fitted with a Neutrik NC3MX plug. Failure to observe these conditions could result in poor contact resistance in the charger connector resulting in overheating of the charger plugs. This presents a potential burn hazard for the user. Sunrise Medical accepts no liability for losses of any kind arising from failure to comply with this condition. Ensure that the charger plug pins are of the correct polarity to be compatible with the pin polarity shown on the control system s specific data sheet. Failure to observe this condition could result in a burn hazard or fire hazard. Sunrise Medical accepts no liability for losses of any kind arising from failure to comply with this condition. Do not disconnect batteries or open-circuit the circuit breaker while charging is in progress. Failure to observe this condition could result in a burns hazard or fire hazard. Sunrise Medical accepts no liability for losses of any kind arising from failure to comply with this condition. 7:2

55 CHAPTER 7 Joystick Module FUNCTION 1 For detailed descriptions outlining the full functionality of different types of R-net Joystick Modules, including on-board diagnostics, please refer to the R-net Instructions for Use document, (R-net Owner s Manual) and the relevant Wheelchair Owner s Manual. 7:3

56 CHAPTER 7 FUNCTION Intelligent Seating & Lighting Module 1 Inhibit Connections The ISM contains the Inhibit 4 and 5 connections. These connections can be used to limit speed, inhibit drive and / or inhibit actuator channels. Refer to Chapter 9 Programming Techniques for full details. Lighting Connections Each lighting output is rated at 21W maximum. The output is self-protecting against wiring and bulb faults and will shut-off if the maximum power rating is exceeded. Likewise, if the output becomes too hot it will shut-off to prevent permanent damage to itself. Indicator Connections Each indicator output is rated at 21W maximum. The outputs are self-protecting against wiring and bulb faults and will shut-off if the maximum power rating is exceeded. Likewise, if either output becomes too hot it will shut-off to prevent permanent damage to itself. If an indicator bulb fails, the ISLM will detect this and flash the remaining bulb for that side at 3Hz as well as sending information to the Joystick Module so that the relevant indicator LED flashes likewise. Actuator Connections For the ISLM Actuator Connectors to operate the parameter Seating Module Enabled must be set to NO. ISLM Each actuator channel is rated at 15A maximum, although only 12A is available when the channel is programmed to 100% speed. If currents of greater than 12A are required, the programmed speeds for that channel must be reduced. The level of reduction is dependent upon the electrical characteristics of the actuator motor, so an empirical process to establish the level of the reduction is required. If the wheelchair is fitted with solid mechanical end-stops at the end of the actuator travel, it is not necessary to fit limit switches as the ISLM can detect when the actuator motor has stopped and will cutoff the power to it. 7:4

57 CHAPTER 7 Omni Module FUNCTION 1 For detailed descriptions outlining the full functionality of the R-net Omni Module, including on-board diagnostics, please refer to the R-net Instructions for Use document, (R-net Owner s Manual) and the relevant Wheelchair Owner s Manual. 7:5

58 CHAPTER 7 FUNCTION Input/Output Module, (IOM) 1 The R-net IOM The R-net IOM is a universal module that can be used as either an Input Device interface or an Output Device in any R-net system. Typically, if being used as an input module the IOM will be used in conjunction with an R-net Joystick Module, (JSM). The R-net IOM as an INPUT The input connector is wired to the industry standard TRACE protocol and can be programmed to accept switched or proportional signals, making the IOM an ideal interface for switched head controls or mini-joysticks. A jack socket is also included for connection to an On/off switch, such as a TASH Buddy Button. The R-net IOM as an OUTPUT The output connector is also wired to the TRACE protocol and provides all the functionality of the existing PGDT ACM, or ECU s supplied by other manufacturers. The output can be programmed for four directional control and diagonal control. There are also output pins corresponding to other buttons/controls on the Joystick Module, meaning functions such as full PC mouse control can be emulated. The R-net IOM used to Multiplex Multiple IOM s can be connected into any R-net system. One IOM can be used to support an Environmental Control Module (Output) whilst at the same time a separate IOM can be used to control a Head Array or Mini Joystick (Input). All output pins are isolated relay types and close to a common pin. Operation of the R-net Control System will vary depending on what Input Devices are connected. Refer to Wheelchair Owner s Manual the correct setup requirements for the wheelchair. 7:6

59 CHAPTER 7 Configuring the IOM FUNCTION WARNING It is possible to set up a Control System so that it is unsuitable for some users or even some vehicles. For all of the above reasons it is important that you contact Sunrise Medical if you have the slightest doubts or if you need any advice on programming. Programming and diagnostics should only be conducted by health care professionals with in-depth knowledge of PG Drives Technology electronic Control Systems. Incorrect programming could result in an unsafe setup of a vehicle for a user. Sunrise Medical accepts no liability for any losses of any kind if the programming of the Control System is altered from the factory preset values. 1 2 Remove the screws from the Bus Connector Plate using a 1.5mm Allen key. Gently pull the plate away from the housing. Ensure the wires do not break. 3 4 The Internal Identifier Switch is located in the top right hand corner. The Identifier Switch has 7 positions corresponding to the chart below. 5 Adjust the switch to the desired position using a small flat blade screw driver. Replace cover. 7:7 6 Pin Data Form Prog.

60 CHAPTER 7 FUNCTION Configuring the IOM Input Functions The IOM can accommodate Switch and Analogue Input Devices. This will be determined by a programmable, profiled parameter, Input Type. Refer to Chapter 9 Programming Techniques, for details. Input Example: To fit a Head Switch Array, without a Rebus connector, into a Control System: Set the internal identifier switch to position 0. Connect the IOM to the R-net Control System. Connect the Head Switch Array to the IOM 9 Pin D-type Input connector. Turn the Control System on using the Head Switch Array On/Off control, or an On/Off button connected to the IOM s On/Off jack socket. The Power Module is factory programmed to give control to the Input Device that has been used to power it up. It is therefore possible to connect multiple Input Devices via IOM s. It is possible to assign specific Input Devices to specific Profiles. Refer to Chapter 9, page 9.7, for details. Switch Function When used with a Switch Input Device, such as a switch panel, the actual state of each of the 4 direction switches will be encoded onto the R-net communication protocol. Simultaneous depressions are accepted to affect diagonal changes in direction. Proportional Function When using a Proportional Input Device, such as a Mini Joystick, the joystick data will be encoded onto R-net communications protocol. The nature of the joystick data will be dependent on the system parameter Configuration Input. Refer to Chapter 9 Programming Techniques, for details. Output Functions The IOM can control the four direction outputs in two ways. Only one output can be switched at a time. Two particular outputs can be switched together, i.e. to give a diagonal movement. The outputs, Speed Up, Speed Down, and Horn reflect the actual state of these buttons on the Input Device in focus. These functions enable the use of devices such as PC mouse emulators where the speed up/down keys on the JSM can be configured to be right/left mouse clicks. 7:8

61 CHAPTER 7 FUNCTION Configuring the IOM Output Example: To fit an Environmental Control Module, without a Rebus connector, into a Control System: Set the internal identifier switch to position 5. Connect the IOM to the R-net Control System. Connect the Environmental Control Module to the IOM 9 Pin D-type Output connector. Turn the Control System and use the Mode Button to move to Mode 5. The Power Module is factory programmed to accept IOM Output Devices in Modes 5, 6 & 7, when the IOM Internal Identifier Switch is set to position 5, 6 & 7 respectively. It is therefore possible to connect 3 IOM s as Output Devices, without having to adjust the programming parameters of the R-net. It is possible to fit more Output Devices and to adjust which Modes activate them. Four-way Control Only one output can be switched at one time. The output direction to joystick x-y data relationship is shown below. There is one associated programmable, profiled parameter, Output Switching. See programming section for further details. Diagonal Control Two outputs can be switched simultaneously. The output direction to joystick x-y data relationship is shown below. FWD FWD LEFT FWD FWD RIGHT LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT REV REV LEFT REV REV RIGHT Global Inhibits The IOM outputs are not affected by global (charger) inhibits. 7:9

64 CHAPTER 7 FUNCTION Compact Joystick Module (CJ-RNET) 1 The Compact Joystick - RNET (CJ-RNET) The CJ-RNET is an alternative to the normal joystick modules. Most of the functions of the CJ-RNET are the same as the standard JSM. Those functions specific to the CJ-RNET are explained below. External On/Off Switch Jack This allows the user to turn the control system on and off using an external device, such as a buddy button. External Profile Switch Jack Depending on the way the control system has been programmed an externally connected device, such as a buddy button, can have different functions. The factory default function is Horn. The horn will sound while the connected switch is pressed as long as standard function is selected. Refer to Chapter 9, Programming Techniques.. CJ ATUS INDICATION CHART Start Up Red Starting Up Red/Green Pulse Slow Re configuration of System Red/Green Pulse Fast Restart Request Normal Green Focus -> Drive Mode Red No Focus Green Pulse Standby Red Pulse Drive Inhibit Failure 1 Red Pulse Failure -> Not Calibrated or Tested 2 Red Pulses Failure -> Internal Error 3 Red Pulses Failure -> External Error 7:12

65 CHAPTER 7 FUNCTION Compact Joystick Module (CJ-RNET) Indication LED The indication LED is used to give information to the user. There is only one LED. Please see chart below for details of the single multicoloured LED status display. Diagnostics (CJ-RNET) When the control system safety circuits have operated and the control system has prevented the wheelchair from moving, a short diagnostic sequence will be displayed. This indicates a system trip. 2 The indication LED will flash Red a number of times, followed by a single Green flash. The number of Red flashes indicates the type of fault, (see chart opposite). If the error is not critical, for example a seating module detects a broken light, then drive will still be possible, however an audible tone will be produced intermittently to remind the user that there is a fault. Start Up Operate the On/Off switch. Wait until the indicator LED displays Green. Operate the joystick to drive. Please note that if you operate the joystick before or immediately after switch on, the LED will flash Red and no drive will occur. Release the joystick back to the centre position to resume normal operation. Programming Please refer to Chapter 9, Programming Techniques, for programming details. WARNING It is possible to set up a Control System so that it is unsuitable for some users or even some vehicles. It is important that you contact Sunrise Medical if you have the slightest doubt or if you need any advice on programming.

89 CHAPTER 9 CHAPTER 9 PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES Profile Management 1 Profile Name Current Profile Number Indoor-Drive 2 Parameter Profile Management Profile Name Profile Enable Mode Enable Input Device Type Input Device Subtype Seat Reversal Profile Allow Grab Profiles And Modes Explained The operation of the R-net system is based around the concept of Profiles and Modes. A Profile is a collection of programmable parameters that affect the operation and performance of the wheelchair. It is typical to have 5 Profiles, each set-up to give a different driving performance. For example, Profile 1 may have very slow settings for speeds and accelerations, while Profiles 2 through to 5 would have progressively faster settings. In this way, the user can change the performance of the wheelchair by selecting the appropriate Profile with the Profile Button on the JSM. Although Profiles are used mainly to change driving performance, they can also contain parameters for other functions, such as seating control. A Mode reflects the actual operation that occurs as a result of a joystick command. Typical examples are Drive Mode, Seating Control Mode and Bluetooth Mode. The user can select the required Mode with the Mode Button on the JSM. Note: it will only be possible to select a Mode if there is a Module that will support that Mode connected into the system. For example, if there is no Mouse Module connected, then the user will not be able to select that Mode. NOTE: A control system utilising a JSM-LED should only be programmed with 5 Profiles enabled. 9:1

Profiles 1 to 5 are available to the user and have been given meaningful names. Profiles 6 and 7 are not available, and Profile 8 has been assigned to Dual Attendant operation. The R-net system can have up to 8 Profiles. Conventionally, Profile 8 is reserved for Dual Attendant Control (but can be re-assigned), meaning there are 7 possible user Profiles; but normally just 5 are used. The parameter, Profile Enable, sets whether a particular Profile is available to the user. Operations of the Profile Button on the JSM simply select the next available Profile. When the highest available Profile is reached, the next Profile Button operation will simply select the lowest available Profile. The LCD on the JSM displays the currently selected Profile as a text string of up to 20 characters. The number of the Profile is also displayed. The Profile naming text is programmable, meaning you can choose your own description and language. The parameter, Profile Name, sets the text and is a 20 character text string that will appear on the JSM LCD screen to indicate the Profile that is selected. Profile Enable - (PrfEn), sets whether a particular Profile is available for selection by the wheelchair user. 4 Parameter Profile Management Profile 1 Profile 2 Profile 3 Profile 4 Profile 5 Profile 6 Profile 7 Profile 8 Profile Name Indoor Slow Medium Fast Sports Profile 6 Profile 7 Attendant Profile Enable Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes No No Yes Mode Enable [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Mode Management Above is an example of programming to enable extra modules to be added without the need to reprogramme. Within each available Profile, it is possible to select 7 different operating Modes. There are actually 8 Modes, however, Mode 8 is always reserved for On-Board Programming (OBP). A standard wheelchair is likely to have just 2 operating Modes Drive (Mode 1) and Seating Control (Mode 2) however, it is normal to set all Modes to be available, so that they will automatically be accessible when an additional Output Module is connected. If they are not programmed to be available, then if an additional Output Module, such as a Bluetooth Mouse Module is connected, the system would have to be programmed to recognize this new Module. The parameter that sets whether a Mode is available is Mode Enable. However, this programming is not appropriate if it may be required to use just one button or switch to select Profiles and Modes. For this reason, it is recommended that programming as described in frame 5, opposite is used. 9:2

91 CHAPTER 9 Profile Management 5 PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES Parameter Profile Management Profile 1 Profile 2 Profile 3 Profile 4 Profile 5 Profile 6 Profile 7 Profile 8 Profile Name Indoor Slow Medium Fast Sports Profile 6 Profile 7 Attendant Profile Enable Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes No No Yes Mode Enable [ ] [1 ] [1 ] [1 ] [1 ] [1 ] [1 ] [ ] Selecting Profile and Modes with Just One Button It may sometimes be required to use just one button or switch to select Profiles and Modes. A typical example would be the use of a Buddy Button connected into the External Profile Switch jack socket. The R-net system has been designed to allow this by applying the following rule. Each operation of the External Profile Switch will select the next available Profile. Upon reaching the highest available Profile, the next operation of the switch will select the next available Mode, regardless of whether the Mode is available in the current Profile. Sunrise Medical therefore recommend a programming set-up as in frame 5 above. In this set-up the External Profile Switch would step through Drive Profiles 1 to 5, then to Mode 2 (Seating Control) and then to other Modes if appropriate Output Modules are connected. Note: if the programming set-up in the previous section was used, then the External Profile Switch would step through Drive Profiles 1 to 5, then it would step through 5 Seating Control Modes, each effectively the same. If more Output Modules were connected, it would be necessary to step through 5 times for each, before getting back to Drive Profile 1. Likewise, 5 steps through OBP would be needed to exit that function. Note: the programming in this section will also work in the correct fashion when separate Profile and Mode buttons are used. The basic rules are: The Profile Button will select the next available Profile in the current Mode. The Mode Button will select the next available Mode in the last Profile in which that Mode was used. The External Profile Jack will select the same Mode in the next available Profile. When the highest available Profile for the current Mode is reached, then the next Mode in the next available Profile will be selected. Profile Name This is a 20 character text string that will appear on the JSM LCD screen to indicate the Profile that is selected. More information is given in the above text. Profile Enable This sets whether a particular Profile is available for selection by the wheelchair user. More information is given in the above text. Note: A Control System utilizing an JSM-LED should only be programmed with 5 Profiles 9:3

If this parameter is selected, a drop down menu as in Frame 6 above, will appear. To set whether a Mode is enabled, simply double click the cell and highlight the appropriate menu item with a single click. Any combination of Modes can be selected. When the drop down menu is closed the selected Modes are expressed as numbers and the parameter appears on the screen as shown in Frame 7 below. The numbers 1 to 8 refer to the Modes listed in the menu. 7 Parameter Profile Management Profile Name Profile Enable Mode Enable Profile 1 Indoor Yes [1 ] 9:4

93 CHAPTER 9 Profile Management PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES 8 Parameter Profile Management Profile Name Profile Enable Mode Enable Input Device Type Profile 1 Indoor Yes [1 ] Universal Input Devices Explained It is possible to connect two Input Devices of different types, for example, a conventional JSM and a Head Control, into the same system. Alternatively, it is sometimes (but rarely) required to connect two Input Devices of the same type. The parameters Input Device Type, Input Device Subtype and Allow Grab, allow you to manage the priorities of control of the two connected Input Devices. If two Input Devices are connected, the Profile buttons on those Input Devices can select only the Profiles relevant to themselves. For example, if Input Device 1 is set for Profiles 1, 2 and 3, and Input Device 2 is set for Profiles 4, 5 and 6, then the Profile button on Input Device 1 will be able to select just Profiles 1, 2 and 3, and the Profile Button on Input Device 2 will be able to select just Profiles 4, 5 and 6. Input Device Type - (ID Type) Each Profile can be set to work with any type of Input Device, or only with a specific type of Input Device. The parameter, Input Device Type, is used to set this function and there are currently twelve settings Universal, JSM, Attendant, Omni, Switch-it, IOM 1, IOM 2, IOM 3, Compact JS, Compact JS Advanced, Easy Rider and Magic Drive. If set to Universal, as in frame 7 above, then any Input Device can control the Profile and it will be the Input Device that was used to power-up the system that will be in control. If set to anything other than Universal, then only the programmed type of Input Device can control the Profile. To select the input device type : Double click the cell under the desired profile, (Profile 1 in the example above in frame 8). In the dialogue box, click the drop down menu, (Frame 9 on the next page). Click on the desired individual input device type or click on universal to select all input device types, (Frame 9 on the next page). 9:5

There are three settings All, 1 and 2. Note: this parameter is only relevant if the Input Devices are identical. In all other instances, it should be ignored. If set to All, then either Input Device can control the Profile, and it will be the Input Device used to power-up the system that will be in control. If set to 1, then only the older of the two Input Devices will be able to control the Profile. If set to 2, then only the younger of the two Input Devices will be able to control the Profile. The relative ages of the two Input Devices will be determined automatically by the R-net system. However, it will also be necessary for the Input Devices to be manually aged, in order to identify which is actually which. The relative ages are determined by the serial numbers, which have a format as below. AXYYMM1234 YY and MM relate to year and month of manufacture. If there is no differentiation using this method, then the last four series digits will be used. Seat Reversal Profile This parameter is only relevant to wheelchair models that can be operated in both rear wheel drive and front wheel drive configuration. The purpose of the parameter is to set which Profiles relate to each configuration, as it is normal to have different drive characteristics for the two set-ups. There are two programmable options yes and no. If set to yes, then the Profile will only be available when the seat is reversed. The seat is considered to be reversed when the Inhibit 2 input on the Power Module is at 0V. If set to no, then the Profile will only be available when the seat is not reversed. All 9:6

95 CHAPTER 9 Profile Management 10 Dialog PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES Select Input Device Input Device Type JSM Input Device Subtype All Allow Grab OK Cancel Allow Grab This parameter can be used to prevent one type of Input Device conceding control to another. Allow Grab determines if the Input Device can concede focus or not. If this parameter is selected a dialog box as in Frame 10 above will appear. 11 Allow Grab Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes No Example 1, Frame 11 above: To prevent a user gaining control from the Attendant. Profiles 1 to 5 are set for any type of user Input Device. Profile 8 is set for Attendant control. Allow Grab is set to Yes for Profiles 1 to 5 meaning the Attendant can grab focus from any Input Device connected. Allow Grab is set to No for Profile 8 meaning that other Input Devices cannot grab focus from the Attendant. 12 Allow Grab Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Example 2, Frame 12 above: In a playground environment a user must be able to take focus from the Attendant Module. Profiles 1 to 5 are set for any type of user Input Device. Profile 8 is set for Attendant control. Allow Grab is set to Yes for Profiles 1 to 5 meaning the Attendant can grab focus from any Input Device connected. Allow Grab is set to Yes for Profile 8 meaning that other Input Devices can grab focus from the Attendant. Note: It is not possible to set Allow Grab if the Input Device Type is Universal or IOM 1-3. It is also not possible to set Allow Grab to No on more than one Input Device Type. 9:7

96 CHAPTER 9 Configuration PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES 1 Parameter Profile Management Configuration Mode Name 2 Mode Name Drive Seating Mouse Environment Output 5 Output 6 Output 7 Programming Configuration Explained The R-net system supports 8 Modes of operation. A Mode is the output action that the system is undertaking, for example, driving, seat adjustment or Mouse control. In other words, each Mode requires a piece of output hardware. For Drive it would be the Power Module, for Seat adjustment it would be the Seating Module and for Mouse control it would be a Bluetooth Mouse Module. Note: On-board Programming (OBP) will take over a Mode and by convention this will be Mode 8. The system is pre-programmed to set which output function is active for each mode. In general, Mode 1 will always be Drive, Mode 2 will always be Seating Control and Mode 8 will always be OBP, (disabled on Dealer Programmer). A Mode will only be available if the output hardware is actually connected in the system. Example: A wheelchair model is launched with Drive and Seating functions, but it is intended to allow optional features such as environmental control or PC mouse control to be fitted in the field. To ensure this means no more than simply connecting appropriate pieces of hardware, then the system is pre-programmed as above in Frame 2. This means that when the wheelchair is initially shipped, with a Power Module and Seating Module fitted, then Modes 1 and 2 will be Drive and Seating Control respectively. If, at some point in the future an Environmental Control Module is required, then Mode 4 would automatically become available to the user. I.e. the Mode button would step through Drive, Seating and Environmental Modes. The other Modes - PC Mouse, Output 5, Output 6 and Output 7 - would also become available if relevant modules were connected. User Displays There is some flexibility as to what is displayed to the user to indicate the operating Mode of the system. The Drive and Seating modes are indicated by standard screens and cannot be changed. However, the Mouse Mode displays an image of a PC with an associated text string, whereas the other Modes simply have an associated text string. The text string is programmable via the parameter, Mode Name as shown above in Frame 2. Mode Name This is a 20 character text string that will appear on the JSM LCD screen to indicate the active Mode, (as discussed above). 9:8

Programmable range is 0 to Maximum Turn Deceleration in steps of 1%. Note: It is not possible to set the value of a Minimum Parameter higher then that of a Maximum Parameter. Power - (Power) This reduces the power of the wheelchair. Power is the ability of a wheelchair to climb a hill or overcome an obstacle. If it is set to 100% then the wheelchair will provide full power. Values below 100% will result in reduced power. A typical use is minimizing damage to doorways or furniture if the wheelchair is being used indoors. The values can be set independently between drive profiles, meaning separate indoor and outdoor profiles can be defined. Programmable range is 25% to 100% in steps of 1%. If the value is set to less than 100%, then the Boost Current function is automatically disabled. i.e. the reduction is applied to the Current Limit Max. Value. Example: R-net is programmed to: Maximum Current Limit = 80 Amps Boost Drive Current = 120 Amps Boost Drive Time = 5 Seconds Power (Profile 1) = 100% Power (Profile 2) = 50% This means that in Profile 1 the system will be able to output 120A for 5 seconds before reducing to 80A, but in Profile 2 will output 50% of 80A = 40A with no boost.. 9:12

101 CHAPTER 9 Speeds PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES Torque - (Torq) This parameter can be used to boost the power to the motors at low drive speeds. This is useful for overcoming obstacles such as door thresholds or thick pile carpets and for countering Rollback. Programmable range is 0% to 100% in steps of 1%. At 0% the parameter has no effect. The recommended value is 80%, however, if the wheelchair drive is considered to be jerky, then reduce this value. Tremor Damping - (Trmor) This parameter can be used to reduce the effects of a user s hand tremor. The programmable range is 0% to 100%. The higher the value, the greater the damping that is applied If using high values of Tremor Damping, pay particular attention to the stopping distance of the wheelchair, as it will be increased. 9:13

104 CHAPTER 9 Controls PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES Emergency Stop Switch This sets whether an Emergency Stop Switch must be used when latched operation is programmed. The programmable options are Yes and No.. If set to Yes, then a normally closed Emergency Stop Switch must be connected into the External Profile Switch Jack on the Joystick Module, whenever latched drive or latched actuator operation is programmed. If such a switch is not fitted, then operation of the wheelchair will be inhibited. If set to No, then an Emergency Stop Switch is not required. WARNING This setting should only be used after a full assessment of the risks involved, i.e. there is no way of effecting an emergency stop from latched drive or actuator operation. Sunrise Medical accept no liability for losses of any kind resulting from the use of a wheelchair with latched drive or actuator operation and with no normally closed Emergency Stop Switch fitted. Power-up Mode This sets the Mode that is selected when the system is powered-up. The programmable options are in the form of a drop down, as shown in the table below. Last Used Drive Seating Bluetooth Environmental Mode 5 Mode 6 Mode 7 Programming Simply select the required Mode. If Last Used is selected, then the Mode that was selected at the last powerdown will be selected at the next power-up. If a Mode is selected but the appropriate Output Module is not present, then the system will default to Drive Mode at power-up.

The percentage value corresponds to the amount of joystick deflection required to reach full forward speed. For example, if set to 50%, then only half joystick movement is needed to reach full speed. Joystick Reverse Throw This sets the amount of reverse movement of the joystick that is required to reach full reverse speed. This is particularly useful for users with limited hand movement. The programmable range is 25% to 100% in steps of 1%. The percentage value corresponds to the amount of joystick deflection required to reach full reverse speed. For example, if set to 50%, then only half joystick movement is needed to reach full speed. Joystick Left Throw This sets the amount of left movement of the joystick that is required to reach full left turning speed. This is particularly useful for users with limited hand movement. The programmable range is 25% to 100% in steps of 1%. The percentage value corresponds to the amount of joystick deflection required to reach full left turning speed. For example, if set to 50%, then only half joystick movement is needed to reach full speed. Joystick Right Throw This sets the amount of right movement of the joystick that is required to reach full right turning speed. This is particularly useful for users with limited hand movement. The programmable range is 25% to 100% in steps of 1%. The percentage value corresponds to the amount of joystick deflection required to reach full right turning speed. For example, if set to 50%, then only half joystick movement is needed to reach full speed. Interactive Settings Joystick Throw can be set up interactively using the Digital Test Tool (DTT). Please see Chapter 11 DTT. 9:17

106 CHAPTER 9 Controls PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES Joystick Deadband This sets the size of the joystick s neutral area. In other words, how far the joystick has to be deflected before the brakes are released and drive commences. The programmable range is 10% to 50% in steps of 1%. A normal setting is 10%. Invert Fwd Rev JS Axis, Invert Left Right JS Axis & Swap Joystick Axis These three parameters are closely related, so are covered in one section. The parameters allow eight different joystick direction configurations, or orientations. For example, it may be required that the joystick has to be pulled in reverse to effect forward drive. In this instance, it would simply be a case of setting Invert Fwd Rev JS Axis to Yes, however, there are many other combinations and these are best explained in the form of a table. Required orientation Required programming Forward Reverse Left Right Invert F/R Invert L/R Swap Axis Forward Reverse Left Right No No No Reverse Forward Left Right Yes No No Forward Reverse Right Left No Yes No Reverse Forward Right Left Yes Yes No Left Right Reverse Forward No No Yes Left Right Forward Reverse Yes No Yes Right Left Reverse Forward No Yes Yes Right Left Forward Reverse Yes Yes Yes Controls Profiled Change Mode while Driving This sets whether Mode changes are permitted while the wheelchair is driving. The programmable options are Yes and No. Sleep Timer This sets the period of joystick (or other type of Input Device) inactivity before the system will automatically power down. The programmable range is 0 minutes to 30 minutes in steps of 1 minute. If set to a value of 0, then the system will never automatically power-down. 9:18

107 CHAPTER 9 Controls PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES Standby Operation Explained Standby Mode provides a means for the user to select Profile and Modes without using switches or buttons. This is achieved by using joystick deflections to select and enter Profiles and/or Modes. There are two ways to enter Standby Mode. These are set by the parameters, Standby Time and Switch to Standby, and are explained below. While in Standby Mode, the operation of the joystick is set by the parameters, Mode Select in Standby, Standby Forward, Standby Reverse, Standby Left, Standby Right and Remote Select. Each is explained below. Standby Time This sets a period of time of joystick inactivity before Standby Mode is entered. The programmable range is 0 to 200 seconds. A value of 0 means that Standby Mode will never be entered. Switch to Standby This sets whether a switch connected into the External Profile Switch Jack can be used to enter Standby Mode. The programmable options are yes - no. If set to yes, an external switch can be used to enter Standby Mode. If set to no, Standby Mode cannot be entered with an external switch. Mode Select in Standby This sets whether the joystick can be used to enter different operating Modes while the system is in Standby Mode, or whether Standby Mode is effectively a power-down condition. The programmable options are yes or no. If set to yes, then ANDBY will be displayed on the screen and joystick deflections can be used to select different operating Modes. Each of the four joystick directions can be programmed to enter a different Mode. This is set by Standby Forward, Standby Reverse, Standby Left and Standby Right. If set to no, then ANDBY ON will be displayed on the screen and joystick deflections have no effect. To resume normal operation the Profile Button or an External Profile Switch, if fitted, should be operated. Standby in Modes This allows the Standby function to be disabled in particular operating Modes. A typical example is if the R-net is being used to control a PC mouse. In this instance Standby would be undesirable as the joystick is likely to be frequently left in the centre position for a period longer than that set by Standby Time. The programmable options are in the form of a drop-down menu, as shown in the following diagram. Note: The numbers in brackets represent the mode number and are not shown in the drop down menu. Standby In Modes Drive (1) Seating (2) Bluetooth (3) Environmental (4) Mode 5 (5) Mode 6 (6) Mode 7 (7) Programming (8) Example: if Standby is required in Drive and Seating Modes, the following selections should apply. 9:19

108 CHAPTER 9 Controls PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES To set whether Standby is enabled in a particular Mode or Modes, simply highlight the appropriate menu item. Any combination of Modes can be selected. When the drop down menu is closed the selected Modes are expressed as numbers and the parameter appears on the screen. The numbers 1 to 8 refer to the Modes listed in the menu, (in brackets). When the drop down menu is closed, it would appear as below. Standby in Modes [12 ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Note: If a Mode is disabled using Standby in Modes and Standby Time is used to reach a Standby condition, the user must be able to operate either the JSM Mode button or a switch connected to the External Profile Switch Jack to return to Standby. Standby Forward This sets which Mode is entered when the joystick is deflected forwards while the system is in Standby Mode. Standby Reverse This sets which Mode is entered when the joystick is deflected in reverse while the system is in Standby Mode. Standby Left This sets which Mode is entered when the joystick is deflected to the left while the system is in Standby Mode. Standby Right This sets which Mode is entered when the joystick is deflected to the right while the system is in Standby Mode. Note: Mode Select in Standby must be set to Yes for all of these function to be active. The programmable options are a list of Modes in a drop-down menu. Only one Mode can be selected from the menu. 9:20

109 CHAPTER 9 Controls PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES Remote Selection This sets whether Profiles and Modes can be selected and entered with joystick deflections. The programmable options are Yes or No. Remote Selection Yes No No No No No No No If set to Yes, then Remote Selection Mode can be entered from the Profile. Entry to Remote Selection Mode is via Standby Mode, the Profile Button or an External Profile Switch. The Profile will also be selectable from Remote Selection Mode. If set to No, then Remote Selection Mode cannot be entered from the Profile, nor can the Profile be selected from Remote Selection Mode. 2 PROFILE SELECT 1 4 Switch In Remote Selection Mode, any other Profile that has Remote Select set to Yes can be selected and entered. The screen display will be as above Profiles can be selected with left and right joystick deflections. When the desired Profile or Mode is selected, it can be entered with a forward deflection of the joystick. If the standby timer expires while the system is in Remote Selection Mode, the Standby Mode will be re-entered and the original Profile will still apply. Background This sets the LCD screen background colour for each Profile. The programmable options are Blue and White. Blue is the conventional setting, while White sets a high contrast screen that may be more easily viewable in very bright conditions. Inputs Devices that have colour LCD screens have their own local programming for background, which can be set to Blue, White and Auto. If set to Blue or White, then those settings will always occur, but if set to Auto then the setting as determined by this parameter will occur. For detailed descriptions of Background options, please refer to the R-net Instructions for Use document, (R-net Owner s Manual). 9:21

110 CHAPTER 9 Controls Assign in Buttons Please refer to Frames 3 & 4 PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES Note: Assignable Buttons are set up and programmed through Port 2 on the Omni Module. Assign in Buttons Explained : To suit specialist user preferences, each of the JSM-LED and CJSM buttons including the External Profile Jack listed below can be programmed to have differing first and second functions. The first function operates on a short depression and release of the button, while the second function operates if the button is held depressed for a period of time. The parameter, Second Function Time, sets the period of time the button must be depressed for its second function to operate. Note, if the first and second functions are set to be the same, then the function will operate on the depression of the button. The buttons that can be programmed with different functionality include: Profile, Mode, Speed Down, Speed Up, Horn, Lights, Left Indicator, Right Indicator, Hazards, External Profile Jack. Note, on CJSMs that support the assignable button function, the External Profile Jack is a stereo type meaning two external switches can be connected. These are referred to as External Profile Jack 1 and External Profile Jack 2. It is possible through programming to convert this Stereo Jack into a virtual Mono Jack function. To set the button functions, there are programmable parameters with the same names as the buttons and each has a First Function and a Second Function setting. When a parameter is edited, a dialogue box such as in Frame 4 will appear. Note: the example in Frame 4 is using the Left Indicator button as an example. Second Function Time Please refer to Frames 3 & 4 This parameter is used in conjunction with the parameters in the branch Assign Buttons. Consequently, it is recommended the contents of that section are read in conjunction with this section. By referring to the following sections, you will see that some buttons can have two functions the first function operates on a short depression and release of the button, while the second function operates if the button is held depressed for a period of time. This parameter sets the period of time the button must be depressed for its second function to operate. The programmable range is 0.3s to 5.0s in steps of 0.1s. Note: If the first and second functions are set to be the same, then the function will operate on the depression of the button. 9:22

114 CHAPTER 9 Controls PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES Speed Down Button Sets which function(s) are associated with the Speed Down button. Any of the functions listed in the section Assignable Buttons Explained can be assigned to this button, with the following exceptions. When the system is in Mouse Mode, i.e. controlling a Bluetooth Mouse Module, then this button always has the function of the left mouse button, regardless of any other system programming. When the system is in a Mode that is controlling an Input/Output Module (IOM), then this button always operates the corresponding relay output on that module, regardless of any other system programming. Speed Up Button Sets which function(s) are associated with the Speed Up button. Any of the functions listed in the section Assignable Buttons Explained can be assigned to this button, with the following exceptions. When the system is in Mouse Mode, i.e. controlling a Bluetooth Mouse Module, then this button always has the function of the right mouse button, regardless of any other system programming. When the system is in a Mode that is controlling an Input/Output Module (IOM), then this button always operates the corresponding relay output on that module, regardless of any other system programming. Horn Button Sets which function(s) are associated with the Horn button. Any of the functions listed in the section Assignable Buttons Explained can be assigned to this button, with the following exception. When the system is in a Mode that is controlling an Input/Output Module (IOM), then this button always operates the corresponding relay output on that module, regardless of any other system programming. Left Indicator Button Sets which function(s) are associated with the Left Indicator button. Any of the functions listed in the section Assignable Buttons Explained can be assigned to this button, with the following exceptions.

115 CHAPTER 9 Latched Functions PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES 1 Latched Latched Drive Latched Actuators Latched Timeout Latched Timeout Beep Off ^ Step Step reverse Cruise Cruse reverse ^ Latched Latched Drive This sets the type of latched drive of the wheelchair. The programmable options are in the form of a drop-down menu as shown in the diagram above. If set to Off, there will be no latched drive. If set to Step, the latched drive will be step type, but in the forwards direction only. If set to Step reverse, the latched drive will be step type in both forwards and reverse. Stepped drive is when short deflections of the joystick step up or down the latched drive speed of the wheelchair. If set to Cruise, the latched drive will be cruise type, but in the forwards direction only. If set to Cruise reverse, the latched drive will be cruise type in both forwards and reverse. Cruise drive is when the wheelchair accelerates while the joystick is deflected, then, when the joystick is released the drive continues at the achieved speed. WARNING If any Profile has latched drive set, then an Emergency Stop Switch must be fitted to the system via the Profile jack socket on the Joystick Module. If it is required for the system to operate without an Emergency Stop switch, this can be achieved via the parameter, Emergency Stop Switch. Sunrise Medical accept no liability for losses of any kind resulting from the use of a wheelchair with latched drive or actuator operation and with no normally closed Emergency Stop Switch fitted. 9:27

116 CHAPTER 9 Latched Drive PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES Latched Actuators This sets whether the seating functions are latched in operation. The programmable options are Yes and No. If set to Yes, then seating control will be latched in operation. i.e. a short joystick deflection will start seat movement. If set to No, then the seating control will not be latched in operation. WARNING If any Profile has latched actuators set, then an Emergency Stop Switch must be fitted to the system via the Profile jack socket on the Joystick Module. If it is required for the system to operate without an Emergency Stop switch, this can be achieved via the parameter, Emergency Stop Switch. Sunrise Medical accept no liability for losses of any kind resulting from the use of a wheelchair with latched drive or actuator operation and with no normally closed Emergency Stop Switch fitted. Latched Timeout This sets the time-out period for latched drive and actuator control. The programmable range is 0 to 250 Seconds in steps of 1 Second. The time-out period is the maximum length of time the joystick can be in the neutral position before latched movement ceases. If the period is exceeded, the latched movement will stop. Time-out is therefore an important safety feature that will stop drive or actuator movement should the user be unable to stop the functions in the usual way. It is important that an appropriate time-out period is set. WARNING If a value of 2 or less is set, then the time-out function is disabled. This value should only be used in exceptional circumstances and after all the risks have been fully assessed. Sunrise Medical accept no liability for losses of any kind resulting from the use of a wheelchair with latched drive or actuator operation and with a Latched Timeout value of less then 2. Latched Timeout Beep This sets whether a beep occurs as the end of the time-out period approaches. The beep is a reminder to the user to give a joystick command to maintain the latched drive or actuator movement. The programmable options are Yes and No. If set to Yes, there will be a beep as the timeout period approaches. If set to No, there will be no beep. 9:28

117 CHAPTER 9 Seating 1 PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES Actuator Mode Entry Axis Axis Setup Axis Channels Axis Display Invert Axis Direction Axis Name Last used Axis 1 Axis 2 Axis 2 Ax Axis Axis Axis 5 Axis 6 No No Axis 7 Tilt Lift SEATING Actuator Axes Explained An actuator axis means a particular function of seat control. An axis may involve just one actuator motor, for example, a simple seat lift; or an axis may involve multiple motors, for example, adjustment of both footrests simultaneously or an anti-shear recline system. There are 6 actuator motor channels on the ISM and an axis can combine any number of these channels. The R-net system can support up to 12 actuator axes. Each is programmable to define which actuator motors move and also how the user display appears. The relevant parameters are Axis Channels and Axis Display. Intelligent Seating Module - Global Actuator Mode Entry Axis This sets the actuator axis that is selected when Seating Mode is entered. The programmable options are in the form of a drop-down menu, as shown in Frame 1 above. Simply select the required axis. If Last used is selected, this means the axis that was selected on the last occasion Seating Mode was used will be the selected axis when Seating Mode is re-entered. Intelligent Seating Module - Axes Setup Axes Name This parameter sets what text will be displayed on the LCD when the associated Actuator Axis is selected. Please refer to Frame 2 on the next page. Note: this is only applicable on Colour Joystick Modules and the Omni. 9:29

118 CHAPTER 9 Seating 2 Seating PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES Intelligent Seating Module Global Actuator Mode Entry Axis Axes Setup Last Used Axis 1 Axis 2 Axis Name Backrest Tilt Channels Channel 1 Channel 2 Away Speed Home Speed Intelligent Seating Module - Channels Away Speed This sets the speed of each ISM channel in the away direction. Programmable range is 1 to 100 in steps of 1. Home Speed This sets the speed of each ISM channel in the home direction. Programmable range is 1 to 100 in steps of 1. Seating Module This is programmed in the same way as the Intelligent Seating module. Seating Module Enabled This sets wether the SM or ISM is enabled 9:30

119 CHAPTER 9 Motor PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES 1 Motor Global Steer Correct Display Speed Maximum Displayed Speed 0 mph 4.0mph Motor - Global Steer Correct This parameter compensates for any mis-match in motor speeds, thereby ensuring the wheelchair drives in a straight line when the joystick is being pushed directly forward. This is particularly useful for switch type Input Devices. The programmable range is 9 to 9 in steps of 1. If the wheelchair is veering to the left, then the value should be increased. Conversely, if the wheelchair is veering to the right, then the value should be decreased. Display Speed This sets whether the speedometer is displayed in miles per hour or kilometres per hour. The programmable options are Off, mph or km/h. If set to Off, there will be no speed display on the LCD screen. If set to mph, then the speed will be displayed as the value transmitted by the Power Module (which always sends the information in miles per hour) and the text mph will appear on the LCD screen. If set to km/h, then the module with the speedometer display will convert the Power Module value into kilometres per hour and the text km/h will appear on the LCD screen. Note: only certain Input Devices, e.g. CJSM or Omni, have the speedometer function. Maximum Displayed Speed This sets the operation of the graphical speed display, i.e. the blue semi-circle on the CJSM and Omni. Ordinarily, the powerchair will be dispatched so that the graphical speed display reaches its maximum point at the maximum rated speed of the powerchair. This means that, if the powerchair is later programmed to a lower speed, to suit a particular user for example, the graphical speed display would never reach its maximum. However, this can be compensated for by setting the value of Maximum Displayed Speed. This is best explained in an example. A powerchair with a rated speed of 4mph requires the Maximum Forward Speed to be re-programmed from 100% to 80%, in order to suit a particular user. This would mean the powerchair now has a top speed of 3.2mph and that the graphical speed display will never fill beyond a point of 80%. If it is required for the graphical speed display to fill to 100%, then the value of Maximum Displayed Speed should be set to 3.2mph The programmable range is 0.0mph to 20.0mph. Note: only certain Input Devices, e.g. CJSM or Omni, have the speedometer function. 9:31

120 CHAPTER 9 PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES Input/Output Module 1 Input Output Module Input Module Input Type Output Module Output Switching Horn Operation Input 1 Input 1 Input 1 Proportional Proportional Proportional Output 3 Output 4 Output 5 Output 6 Output 7 Four Way Output Four Way Output Four Way Output Four Way Output Four Way Output Input Output Module Input Module Input Type The IOM can be programmed as an Input device to work with Switch or Proportional type devices. An example of such devices is a Head Switch Array control or a proportional joystick such PGDT JC200BR3K1Y. Output Module Output Switching As an Output Device the IOM can be programmed to work in either Four-Way or Diagonal Output Types. Four-way allows only one output to be switched at a time, i.e. Forward, Left, Right or Reverse. Diagonal allows 2 Outputs to be switched simultaneously to give a diagonal movement. i.e. Forward and Left, giving a diagonal movement. Horn Operation The IOM can be configured to give an audible Horn output when the Horn button is pressed or to drive the Horn output relay. This allows the horn button on the JSM to activate an assigned function, for example navigating a screen in an Environmental control unit when in environmental mode. 9:32

121 CHAPTER 9 Omni 1 PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES Omni Global Sip and Puff Puff Threshold Sip Threshold Deadband Puff Ramp Up Puff Ramp Down Sip Ramp Up Sip Ramp Down Double Click Double Click Time Scan Speed Sleep 12V Global Sip and Puff Puff Threshold This sets the threshold point between soft and hard puffs. The programmable range is between the value of Deadband and 100 in steps of 1. Sip Threshold This sets the threshold point between soft and hard sips. The programmable range is between the value of Deadband and 100 in steps of 1. Deadband This sets the size of the sip / puff s neutral area. In other words, how much pressure the user must apply with either a sip or a puff before the brakes of the powerchair are released and drive commences. The programmable range is between 5 and 50 in steps of 1. 9:33

122 CHAPTER 9 Omni Please refer to Frame 1. PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES Puff Ramp Up This sets the time allowed to ramp up to a hard puff from zero pressure. Whenever a hard puff is attempted, there is a period of time when the pneumatic pressure is below the Puff Threshold. This could be falsely interpreted by the Omni as a soft puff command. Different users will have differing abilities in terms of how quickly they can generate sufficient pressure to pass this threshold. Puff Ramp Up allows the user more time to reach the Puff Threshold. If this threshold is not reached within the Puff Ramp Up time, a soft puff will be interpreted, provided the pressure is above the value set for Deadband. The programmable range is between 0ms and 2000ms in steps of 50ms. Puff Ramp Down This sets the time allowed to ramp down to zero pressure from a hard puff. When a hard puff has finished, there is a period of time when the pneumatic pressure is below the Puff Threshold but still above the value for Deadband. This could be falsely interpreted by the Omni as a soft puff command. Puff Ramp Down allows the user sufficient time to reach the Deadband without unintentionally providing a soft puff. If this Deadband is not reached within the Puff Ramp Down time, a soft puff will be interpreted, provided the pressure is below the Puff Threshold. The programmable range is between 0ms and 2000ms in steps of 50ms. Sip Ramp Up This sets the time allowed to ramp up to a hard sip from zero pressure. Whenever a hard sip is attempted, there is a period of time when the pneumatic pressure is below the Sip Threshold. This could be falsely interpreted by the Omni as a soft sip command. Different users will have differing abilities in terms of how quickly they can generate sufficient pressure to pass this threshold. Sip Ramp Up allows the user more time to reach the Sip Threshold. If this threshold is not reached within the Sip Ramp Up time, a soft sip will be interpreted, provided the pressure is above the value set for Deadband. The programmable range is between 0ms and 2000ms in steps of 50ms. Sip Ramp Down This sets the time allowed to ramp down to zero pressure from a hard sip. When a hard Sip has finished, there is a period of time when the pneumatic pressure is below the Sip Threshold but still above the value for Deadband. This could be falsely interpreted by the Omni as a soft sip command. Sip Ramp Down allows the user sufficient time to reach the Deadband without unintentionally providing a soft sip. If this Deadband is not reached within the Sip Ramp Down time, a soft sip will be interpreted, provided the pressure is below the Sip Threshold. 9:34

123 CHAPTER 9 Omni Please refer to Frame 1. PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES Double Click Two pneumatic operations made within the period set by the parameter Double Click Time, mimic a short operation of the User Switch in Standby. This parameter sets whether a double Soft or a double Hard command are required. The parameter can be set to either 2x Soft commands or 2x Hard commands Double Click Time This sets the period of time during which two pneumatic commands must be detected, in order to be interpreted as a double-click. The programmable range is between 0s and 2.5s in steps of 0.1s. (If set to 0s no double-click facility will be supported). Global Scan Speed This sets the scanning rate of the drive screen when using a Single Switch Scanner Type SID. Global - Sleep Sleep 12V This sets whether the 12V supply to the D-type connectors is present while the Omni is asleep*. There are two programmable options, On and Off. If set to On, then the 12V supply will be present when the Omni is asleep. If set to Off, then the 12V supply will not be present when the Omni is asleep. *Asleep is the Sleep state entered via a long operation of the User Switch or from the User Menu. 9:35

124 CHAPTER 9 Omni 2 Omni Global PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES Profiled 4 Switch JC200 Chin Port Profiled Port Please refer to Frame 2 This sets which Omni Port is active in a particular Profile. The programmable options are 1 or 2. 3 Omni Global Profiled Ports SID SID Switches User Switch Switch Detect 9-Way Detect Switch Long Switch Medium Switch Debounce Double Click 4 Switch JC200 Chin Port 1 Port 2 Switch Proportional Port 1 Port 2 Normally Open Normally Open Off Off Off Off 9:36

125 CHAPTER 9 Omni Please refer to Frame 3. PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES Ports 1 / 2 - SID SID This sets the type of Specialty Input Device, SID, that the Omni will be compatible with. The programmable options are: Proportional, Switch, 3-Axis Proportional, 3-Axis Switch, Sip Puff and Scanner. Ports 1 / 2 - Switches User Switch This sets whether the Omni is expecting a normally-open or normally-closed User Switch. The programmable options are Normally Open or Normally Closed. If the setting does not match the switch type, then the Omni will not operate correctly. PGDT recommend the use of a normally-closed User Switch. PGDT accept no liability for losses of any kind arising from the use of any other type of switch. Switch Detect This sets how the Omni will behave if the User Switch becomes disconnected. The programmable options are On, Off and Limp. If set to On and the User Switch becomes disconnected, then the Omni will trip. If set to Off and the User Switch becomes disconnected, then the Omni will try to operate normally, even though the User Switch is disconnected. If set to Limp and the User Switch becomes disconnected, then the Omni will allow drive, but at a reduced speed, and will issue visual and audible warnings. PGDT recommend this parameter is always set to On. PGDT accept no liability for losses of any kind arising from any other setting. 9-way Detect This sets whether the Omni will expect a detect link in a SID connected to the 9-way D-type. There are two settings, On and Off. If set to On, the Omni will expect a detect-link and if one is not present will trip. If set to Off, no detect-link is required. Switch Long This sets the period of time the User Switch must be operated in order to put the Omni into Sleep Mode. The programmable range is 0.5s to 5.0s in steps of 0.25s. When using Single Switch Scanner Type SIDs the Omni can be put to sleep via the User Menu or Sequence. 9:37

126 CHAPTER 9 Omni Please refer to Frame 3. PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES Switch Medium This parameter is intended for 3-axis Proportional and Switch Type SIDs only. A direction change occurs at the instant the User Switch is operated, provided the parameter Double Click has been set to 0. If the User Switch is released and a Forward/Reverse command is entered, then drive will commence in the newly selected direction. If the User Switch is not released and is held for a time period set by the programmable parameter, Switch Medium, then this is interpreted as a conventional User Switch operation, i.e. the User Menu will be entered or the other wheelchair functions would be sequenced. There will be no direction toggle in this instance. As with the other two methods, if the User Switch is operated for a period greater than the time set by the programmable parameter, Switch Long, then the Omni will go to sleep. The programmable range is 0.5s to 5.0s in steps of 0.25s. Switch Debounce This sets the debounce time for the User Switch. Debounce is the period of time the switch is operated continuously before a new condition is registered. The programmable range is 30ms to 500ms in steps of 10ms. Double Click This sets the period of time during which two User Switch operations must be detected, in order to be interpreted as a double-click. The programmable range is 0s to 2.5s in steps of 0.1s If set to 0s, then no double-click facility will be supported. This setting should be used if accidental double-clicks are a problem. If set to any other value, then this is the period that two User Switch operations must be made, in order to be interpreted as a double-click. Omni - Controls User Control Please refer to Frame 4 opposite. This sets how the SID and/or User Switch are used to select the available Profiles and Modes. There are two programmable options, Sequence and Menu. If set to Sequence, then operations of the User Switch will move to the next available Profile or Mode. The order of the sequence is programmable. Please refer to the R-net Instructions for Use document, (R-net Owner s Manual). 9:38

Note: it is not advisable to programme the menu options, speed adjust or profile select, if the Sequence method is being used with Single Switch Scanner Type SIDs. If set to Menu, then an operation of the User Switch in Drive Mode will bring up a User Menu that presents all available Profiles and Modes. The SID is then used to navigate the menu. Forward and Reverse commands will change the highlighted menu options; and Left and Right commands are used to change settings, or to enter the highlighted Profile or Mode. The order of the menu is programmable, as is the way in which some of the options are presented, refer to the section Omni User Menu. Note: when using a Single Switch Scanner Type SID, it is advisable to programme an appropriate scanning rate for the User Menu. This is achieved using the programmable parameter, Menu Scan Rate. Operations of the User Switch whilst scanning through the User Menu will change settings or enter the highlighted Profile or Mode. 9:39

128 CHAPTER 9 Omni Please refer to Frame 4. PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES Return To This sets the effect of a short operation of the User Switch in a non-drive Mode when the User Control is set to Menu. There are two programmable options, Drive and Menu. If set to Drive, then a short operation of the User Switch in any non-drive Mode will return to the Drive Mode. If set to Menu, then a short operation of the User Switch will bring up the User Menu. When using Single Switch Scanner Type SIDs this parameter will set the return destination from a non-drive Mode when the Exit option is highlighted and the User Switch is operated. Timeout to Menu This sets the period of SID inactivity before the User Menu will appear. The programmable range is 0s to 60s in steps of 1s. If set to 0, then the User Menu cannot be entered using this method. Menu Navigation This parameter allows the user to invert the navigation direction of the User Menu with their SID. This parameter is not adjustable with 3-axis type SIDs. The programmable options are Normal and Invert. If set to Normal, operations of the SID in the forwards direction will navigate UP. If set to Invert, operations of the SID in the forwards direction will navigate DOWN. Menu Scan Rate This sets the scanning rate for the User Menu, Lights Menu and Settings Menu. If User Control is set to Sequence, the scan rate will only be applicable in the Lights and Settings menus. The programmable range is between 0s and 10s in steps of 0.25s. (If set to 0s no scanning is possible within menus). Auto-repeat This sets whether there is an auto-repeat function on the direction commands for various SIDs. Auto-repeat means that successive commands will be applied if the switch is continuously operated, which is useful when navigating the user menu. This is usually not desirable in head control applications. There are two programmable options, On and Off. If set to On, there will be an auto-repeat function. If set to Off, there will be no auto-repeat function. 9:40

129 CHAPTER 9 Omni Please refer to Frame 4. PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES Fwd/Rev Auto Toggle This sets the method of changing direction with 3-axis SIDs. This parameter has no affect with any other type of SID, i.e. it is intended for use primarily in head control applications. There are two programmable options, On and Off. If set to On, then an operation of the SID s Fwd/Rev command can be used to change the selected drive direction. This is achieved by operating and releasing the Fwd/Rev command within a 2 second period. This will change the previously selected drive direction. To drive in the newly selected drive direction, then the Fwd/Rev command must be operated again within a further 2 seconds. If this 2 second period passes without a Fwd/Rev command, then the selected drive direction will revert to the original setting. If set to Off, then a short operation of the User Switch selects a new drive direction and double-clicks of the same switch change Profile or Modes. It is not possible to use the Fwd/Rev Auto Toggle function if latched driving is required, as there is a conflict in user command logic. If Fwd/Rev Auto Toggle is set to On and latched drive is enabled in programming, then an error message Bad Settings will appear. Fwd/Rev Auto Toggle Time This sets the time the user has to operate the Fwd/Rev command to be effective. Adjustable between 0.5 and 5 seconds in steps of 0.25s. Actuator Selection This sets whether actuator axes are selected via SID commands or via the User Switch. There are two programmable options, SID and Switch. If set to SID, then operation of the SID s direction commands will select each of the available actuator axes. The actual SID commands required to do this will be dependent on the setting of the parameter, Actuator Axes. If set to Switch, then operations of the User Switch will select each of the available actuator axes. In this instance, there will be an additional pseudo axis, Exit, and when this is selected, the SID commands normally used to move an axis can be used to exit Seating Mode. Actuator Axes This sets which SID direction commands are used to select the available axes. This parameter is not applicable when using Single Switch Scanner Type SIDs. The programmable options are: Normal, Swap, Left/Right and Right/Left. If set to Normal, then left and right SID commands will select the available actuator axes, and forward and reverse commands will move the selected axis. If set to Swap, then forward and reverse SID commands will select the available actuator axes, and left and right commands will move the selected axis. If set to Left/Right, then a left SID command will select the available actuator axes and a right SID command will move the selected axis. The direction of movement is changed via a short operation by a right SID command. If set to Right/Left, then a right SID command will select the available actuator axes and a left SID command will move the selected axis. The direction of movement is changed via a short operation by a left SID command. 9:41

If set to Blank, then there will be no menu item displayed. If set to Exit, then selecting that option will take you back to Drive Mode. Below is an example of programming: Position 1: Seating Position 2: Drive Position 3: Speed Adjust Position 4: Drive Position 5: Settings Position 6: Exit Position 7: Blank Position 16 Blank The user menu appears as in Frame 7 on the next page. 9:43

132 CHAPTER 9 Omni 7 PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES Seating > Drive > Speed Adjust < 2 > Drive > Settings > Exit > Position 1 Type to Position 16 Type This sets the type of the menu item on the screen. There are three programmable options: Entry, List and Select. These parameters affect only menu items that are genuine R-net Modes, they do not affect the Omni Modes. The best way to explain each of the settings is in a series of examples. (For Single Switch Scanner Type SIDs replace left and right SID commands with short User Switch operations). Assume Position 1 = Drive and Position 1 Type = Entry, then the menu item would appear as below. Drive > The effect of Entry is to display the Mode Name and an entry >. A right SID command will enter the Mode. Assume Position 1 = Drive and Position 1 Type = List, then the menu would appear as below. 1: Profile 1 > 2: Profile 2 > 3: Profile 3 > etc. The effect of List is to list all the available Profiles for the Mode. In this case, all the available Drive Profiles. The first number denotes the actual Profile number, while the text will be as set by the standard R-net parameter, Profile Name. A right SID command will enter the highlighted Profile. Assume Position 1 = Drive and Position 1 Type = Select, then the menu item would appear as below. Profile < 3 > 9:44

133 CHAPTER 9 Omni PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES The effect of Select is to allow a new Profile to be selected, but not necessarily entered. Selection is via left and right SID commands. There would be a further menu item, Drive, that would enter Drive Mode in the selected Profile. This method reflects the functionality of the Omni. All these examples use Drive Mode, which conventionally has multiple Profiles. However, other Modes are generally only present in one Profile; meaning that, in practice, a setting of Entry will be the most commonly used for non-drive Modes. However, for completeness, the Omni does offer the capability of working with multiple Profiles in non-drive Modes. Again, this is best explained in an example, as follows. Assume it is required to have non-latched and latched seating control. This can be achieved by enabling Seating Mode in two Profiles via the standard R-net parameter, Mode Enable. The conventional way of doing this would be settings such as below. Latched seating control would also need to be set in one of the Profiles via the standard R-net parameter, Latched Actuators. Profile 1 Profile 2 Profile 3 Profile 4 Profile 5 Mode Enable Assume Position 1 = Seating and Position 1 Type = Entry, then the menu item would appear as below. Seating > The effect of Entry is to display the Mode Name and an entry >. A right SID command will enter the Mode. The Mode will be entered in the Profile in which it was last used Assume Position 1 = Seating and Position 1 Type = List, then the menu would appear as below. Seating 1 > Seating 2 > The effect of List is to list all the available Profiles for the Mode. In this case the two Seating Profiles. The first line denotes the lowest numbered Profile and the second line the next highest number Profile. In this case Seating Mode in Profile 1 and then Profile 2. The text will be as set by the standard R-net parameter, Mode Name. Note: although it does in this case, the number does not necessarily reflect the actual Profile number. Instead Seating 1 would actually enter the lowest numbered Profile that had Seating Mode enabled, while Seating 2 would actually enter the next highest numbered Profile. A right SID command will enter the highlighted Profile. Assume Position 1 = Seating and Position 1 Type = Select, then the menu item would appear as below. Seating < 1 > The effect of Select is to allow a new Profile to be selected, but not necessarily entered. Selection is via left and right SID commands. There would be a further menu item, Seating, that would enter Seating Mode in the selected Profile. Note: although it does in these examples, the number does not necessarily reflect the actual Profile number. Instead Seating 1 would actually enter the lowest numbered Profile that had Seating Mode enabled, while Seating 2 would actually enter the next highest numbered Profile. 3 9:45

User Menu Entry This sets the type of beep that occurs upon entry to the User Menu. The programmable options are: Off, Short and Long. If set to Off, there will be no beep upon entry to the User Menu. If set to Short, there will be a short beep upon entry to the User Menu. If set to Long, there will be a long beep upon entry to the User Menu. 9:46

135 CHAPTER 9 Omni PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES 9 PROFILE SELECT 2 Profile Name User Menu Scroll This sets the type of beep that occurs when scrolling through the User Menu, Lights Menu and Settings Menu. The programmable options are Off, Short and Long. If set to Off, there will be no beep during scanning. If set to Short, there will be a short beep each time the scanner moves to a new line. If set to Long, there will be a long beep each time the scanner moves to a new line. Profile Identifier # This can be set to issue a number of beeps corresponding to the Profile number. The beeps are of a lower tone to the Profile Change, Mode Change and User Menu Entry beeps, and will occur after these. Depending on how the Omni is set-up, the beeps will occur as below. Menu operation with Drive Position Type set to Entry: no beep sequence supported. Menu operation with Drive Position Type set to List: beeps will occur when a particular Profile is highlighted on the User Menu. Menu operation with Drive Position Type set to Select: beeps will occur when the Profile selection is changed on the User Menu. Sequence operation with Drive Position Type set to Entry: no beep sequence supported. Sequence operation with Drive Position Type set to List: beeps will occur when a particular Profile is entered. Sequence operation with Drive Position Type set to Select: a Profile Select screen, as shown in Frame 6, will be entered and the beeps will reflect the selected Profile. Left and right SID movements will select the next available Profiles and the corresponding number of beeps will occur. To enter the selected Profile, operate the User Switch. Note: If User Menu Position beeps are also set to occur, they will be issued prior to the Profile identifier beeps. It is not advisable to programme the menu option, profile select, if the Sequence method is being used with Single Switch Scanner Type SIDs. 9:47

136 CHAPTER 9 Omni PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES Axis Identifier # This sets whether a series of beeps, corresponding to the actuator axis number, occurs when that axis is selected. There are three programmable options: Off, Long and Short. Note: currently, the PC Programmer suggests just two options, On and Off. This will change. If set to Off, then no beeps will occur. If set to Short, then upon a change of axis selection, there will be a series of short beeps corresponding to the number of the newly selected axis. If set to Long, then upon a change of axis selection, there will be a series of long beeps corresponding to the number of the newly selected axis. Note; In both the latter cases, there will always be an initial short beep to indicate an axis change. There will then be a short pause before the series of beeps. If an Exit axis is being used, see section Actuator Selection, this is indicated by a single beep of opposite duration to the beep series. Position 1 to Position 16 This sets the number of beeps that will occur when each line of the User Menu is highlighted. Because it is possible for the same item to appear on multiple lines, then the number of beeps is independent from the position number. The programmable range is 0 to 16 in steps of 1. 9:48
