BATTERY SAVER FEATURE
When the battery capacity drops to below 21V (typically two LEDs), the controller reduces wheelchair
performance to conserve battery power.
OUT OF NEUTRAL AT POWER UP
Your Jazzy joystick is equipped with Out Of Neutral At Power Up (OONAPU). If you power up the system
and the joystick is not in the neutral position, the System Status Indicator flashes rapidly for either as long
as the joystick is out of the neutral position or for five seconds. If this happens and all the segments on the
System Status Indicator flash, you may have set trouble code 1.
To use the joystick to control the actuators:
1. Press the Drive Mode Select key until you get to “A.”
2. Move the joystick to either the left or right turning position to scroll through the options which are A,
b, C, d, or E.
3. Select an option.
4. Move the joystick beyond half its travel in either the forward or reverse direction to move the actuator.
SLEEP MODE
The Jazzy controller features a sleep mode, which is a built-in circuit that automatically shuts off the main
power if the joystick is not moved in any direction for a specific amount of time. This time factor is
programmed into your joystick console. The battery condition lights on the joystick indicate sleep mode by
blinking once every five seconds. To restore power and continue, push the on/off key twice.
THERMAL ROLLBACK
The Europa controller is equipped with a thermal rollback circuit. This circuit monitors the temperature of
the motors and controller. In the event the motors or controller becomes excessively hot (above 122° F), the
controller reduces the motor voltage. For every degree above 122° F, the controller reduces the voltage by
5 volts. This reduces your speed and allows the components to cool down. When the temperature returns to
a safe level, your Jazzy resumes its normal speed.
TROUBLE CODES
Your controller is programmed to detect faults within its own system. If something happens to the controller
system that prevents your Jazzy from operating, you should see a trouble code. This is indicated by the
System Status Indicator flashing a number of times, then pausing for two seconds, then flashing again.
Faults that affect the safety of your Jazzy cause the chair to stop, while others allow the Jazzy to operate.
Some trouble codes stop if the condition corrects itself. Others can only be cleared by powering down the
chair, then powering it up again.
