USER HANDCONTROL
(1741)
The 40-Series handcontrol is designed to be user-friendly. The keypad buttons
are responsive and clearly marked. The LCD display is crisp and clear, with
intuitive icons and backlighting to enhance daytime and nighttime readability.
The communication cable is thin, flexible, and field replaceable.
The handcontrol is the main user interface to the control system. All user
commands come from the handcontrol’s keypad and joystick. The handcontrol
is also the information center of the system. All faults, errors, limits, and status
(operational characteristics) are displayed on its LCD display.
JOYSTICK
Moving the joystick straight forward and straight backward proportionately
controls the travel speed of the chair. Neutral (center position) always requests
no movement. Two deadbands, one around neutral and one at the full throw
(against the gate), provide a zone at each extreme where small movements—caused
by tremors, bumps, etc.—do not cause changes in vehicle speed.
Moving the joystick right and left (side to side) proportionately controls
the turning radius and turn rate of the vehicle.

tors, and Drive with Actuators and Lights.
