REMOTE PLUS CONTROLLER
The Remote Plus is a modular electronic control system. The electronics necessary to operate the power chair are con-
tained in several modules located on different parts of your power chair. The master remote is located typically on the end
of an armrest. The other components are located inside the power base.

The Remote Plus system consists of the following components:
! master remote
! communications cable(s)
! power module
! motor wiring harnesses
! battery wiring harnesses
! actuator lighting module (for optional equipment)

The controller supplied with your power chair has been pre-programmed to meet your needs. The program is set using
either a personal computer with software provided by the controller manufacturer or with a hand-held programmer, also
provided by the controller manufacturer.

WARNING! The controller program can affect speed, acceleration, deceleration, and braking. If it

is programmed incorrectly or outside of the safe limits as determined by your healthcare

professional, it can create a dangerous situation. Only the power chair manufacturer, an authorized

representative of the manufacturer, or a trained service technician should program the controller.

Remote Plus Master Remote

The Remote Plus master remote consists of the following (see figure 28):
1. joystick
2. keypad
3. controller communications cable
4. off-board charger/programming socket

Joystick

The joystick controls the direction and speed of your
power chair. When you move the joystick from the
neutral (center) position, the electromagnetic brakes
release and allow your power chair to move. The far-
ther you push the joystick from its neutral position, the
faster your power chair moves. When you release the
joystick and allow it to return to the neutral position,
you engage the electromagnetic brakes. This causes
your power chair to decelerate and come to a com-
plete stop.

WARNING! If your power chair begins to move in an unexpected manner, immediately release the

joystick. Unless the joystick is damaged, this action should stop your power chair.

Keypad

The keypad is located directly in front of the joystick. See figure 29. It contains keys that you will use to control your power
chair.
