REMOTE PLUS CONTROLLER

The electronic controller is what you use to operate your power chair. It takes the battery voltage and sends it to the appropriate

system. The electronic controller also enables you to monitor battery charge, electronic controller functions, and the condition

of your electrical system. Also, it may be used to control some optional systems such as power elevating seats and lights.

The Remote Plus is a modular electronic control system. The electronics necessary to operate the power chair are contained in

several modules located on different parts of your power chair.

The Remote Plus system consists of the following components:

n master remote

n communications cable(s)

n power module

n motor wiring harnesses

n battery wiring harnesses

n actuator lighting module (for optional equipment)

The master remote is located typically on the end of an

armrest. The other components are located inside the

power base.

Remote Plus Master Remote

The Remote Plus master remote consists of the following

(see figure 20):

1. joystick

2. keypad

3. controller communications cable

4. off-board charger 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 further 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. See figure 21. It contains keys that you will use to control your

power chair.

On/Off Key

The on/off keys toggles the system power on and off.
