MICRODRIVE CONTROLLER
The Microdrive Controller is a fully-programmable, modular electronic controller
system that allows you to operate your power chair. It is designed to allow the user
to have complete control over chair movement and speed.
The controller has been pre-programmed to meet a typical user’s 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, dynamic stability, 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.
