REMOTE PLUS CONTROLLER
The electronic controller is what you use to operate your power chair. The electronic controller enables you to move the
power chair, as well as monitor battery charge, electronic controller functions, and the condition of your electrical system.
The Remote Plus is part of a modular electronic controller system. The system consists of more than one module. Typically,
the Remote Plus is mounted to one of the armrests. See figure 29. It is connected to a power module located on the power
base through the controller communications cable. The Remote Plus may be used to control some optional systems, such
as power elevating seats or lights through an actuator/lighting module (ALM) located on the power base.
The controller supplied with your power chair has been pre-programmed to meet the needs of the end user. The program
is set using either a personal computer with software provided by the controller manufacturer or with a hand-held program-
mer, 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.

Figure 29. Remote Plus Controller
Remote Plus
The Remote Plus consists of the following:
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 farther 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
complete 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. It contains keys that you will use to control your power chair. See figure 30.
On/Off Key
The on/off key turns the system on and off.
WARNING! Unless faced with an emergency situation, do not use the on/off key to stop the chair.
This will cause the power chair to stop abruptly.
WARNING! Always turn the power off when you are stationary to prevent unexpected movement.
