SECTION 1—EMI INFORMATION
SECTION 1—EMI INFORMATION
WARNING
CAUTION: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS INFORMATION
REGARDING THE POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC
INTERFERENCE ON YOUR POWERED WHEELCHAIR.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) From Radio Wave Sources
Powered wheelchairs and motorized scooters (in this text, both will be referred to
as powered wheelchairs) may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI),
which is interfering electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such as
radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two way radios, and
cellular phones. The interference (from radio wave sources) can cause the powered
wheelchair to release its brakes, move by itself, or move in unintended directions. It
can also permanently damage the powered wheelchair's control system. The
intensity of the interfering EM energy can be measured in volts per meter (V/m).
Each powered wheelchair can resist EMI up to a certain intensity. This is called its
"immunity level." The higher the immunity level, the greater the protection. At this
time, current technology is capable of achieving at least a 20 V/m immunity level,
which would provide useful protection from the more common sources of radiated
EMI.
There are a number of sources of relatively intense electromagnetic fields in the
everyday environment. Some of these sources are obvious and easy to avoid.
Others are not apparent and exposure is unavoidable. However, we believe that by
following the warnings listed below, your risk to EMI will be minimized.
The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types:
1) Hand-held Portable transceivers (transmitters-receivers with the antenna
mounted directly on the transmitting unit. Examples include: citizens band (CB)
radios, "walkie talkie", security, fire and police transceivers, cellular telephones,
and other personal communication devices).
NOTE: Some cellular telephones and similar devices transmit signals while they are ON,
even when not being used.
2) Medium-range mobile transceivers, such as those used in police cars, fire trucks,
ambulances and taxis. These usually have the antenna mounted on the outside of
the vehicle; and
3) Long-range transmitters and transceivers, such as commercial broadcast
transmitters (radio and TV broadcast antenna towers) and amateur (HAM)
radios.
NOTE: Other types of hand-held devices, such as cordless phones, laptop computers,
AM/FM radios, TV sets, CD players, cassette players, and small appliances, such as electric shavers and hair dryers, so far as we know, are not likely to cause EMI problems to
your powered wheelchair.

SECTION 1—EMI INFORMATION
WARNING
Powered Wheelchair Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves closer to the
transmitting antenna (source), the EM fields from hand-held radio wave sources
(transceivers) are of special concern. It is possible to unintentionally bring high
levels of EM energy very close to the powered wheelchair's control system while
using these devices. This can affect powered wheelchair movement and braking.
Therefore, the warnings listed below are recommended to prevent possible
interference with the control system of the powered wheelchair.
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV stations,
amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones can affect
powered wheelchairs and motorized scooters.
FOLLOWING THE WARNINGS LISTED BELOW SHOULD REDUCE THE
CHANCE OF UNINTENDED BRAKE RELEASE OR POWERED WHEELCHAIR
MOVEMENT WHICH COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.
1) Do not operate hand-held transceivers (transmitters receivers), such as citizens
band (CB) radios, or turn ON personal communication devices, such as cellular
phones, while the powered wheelchair is turned ON;
2) Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try to avoid
coming close to them;
3) If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the powered wheelchair
OFF as soon as it is safe;
4) Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the powered
wheelchair, may make it more susceptible to EMI (NOTE: There is no easy way
to evaluate their effect on the overall immunity of the powered wheelchair); and
5) Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the powered
wheelchair manufacturer, and note whether there is a source of EMI nearby.
Important Information
1) 20 volts per meter (V/m) is a generally achievable and useful immunity level
against EMI (as of May 1994) (the higher the level, the greater the protection);
2) The immunity level of the product is unknown.
Modification of any kind to the electronics of this wheelchair as manufactured by
Invacare may adversely affect the RFI immunity levels.

DESCRIPTIONS
Joystick Overview
There are two (2) standard joysticks which make up the MK5 system. The two (2) joystick
types are the DPJ™ and MPJ™. The joysticks differ in user controls, switches, number of
programmable drives and performance adjustments. The joysticks provide proportional
drive control of speed and direction.

FIGURE 3.1 DPJ Joystick Switches and Indicators
Power/Drive Select Toggle Switch
The three (3) position power/drive select toggle switch is located at the back of the joystick
housing. This switch allows the operator to select the type of operation or performance
which best suits a particular control need or situation and turn the wheelchair off. The
DRIVE 1 program uses performance values which are independent of those used for the
DRIVE 2 program. For example, an operator may have a control need for spasticity in the
morning and a very different need in the afternoon. DRIVE 1 can be programmed for
higher speeds and quicker response while DRIVE 2 can be programmed for slower
speeds and less responsiveness or vise versa.
Selecting the Drive Mode
1. To select DRIVE 1 mode, move the toggle UP.
2. To select DRIVE 2 mode, move the toggle to the MIDDLE position.
Turning the Wheelchair Off

Speed Control Knob
The speed control knob is located at the back of the joystick housing.
1. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the maximum speed of the wheelchair.
2. Turn the knob counterclockwise to decrease the maximum speed of the wheelchair.
Mode (On/Off) Switch
The mode (on/off) switch is a push button switch located at the front of the joystick. When
an optional actuator control [Single Actuator control, (SAC), Two Actuator Control (TAC)
or Tilt and Recline Control Module (TRCM)] is present, pushing the switch will change
the controller mode to control the optional actuators through the joystick. The mode
switch LED indicator will be ON. Push the switch again to return to normal joystick
driving. The mode switch LED indicator will be off.
Battery Gauge Display (BGD)
Located at the rear of the joystick housing, the BGD provides information on the
remaining charge in the batteries. At full charge, all six (6) segments of the bar graph are
lit. As the battery discharges, the farthest right (GREEN) segment will go out until only
the red bar is lit. At this level, the last red bar will start to flash on and off to indicate that
the user should charge the batteries as soon as possible.
The BGD also serves as a system diagnostic device when a fault is detected by the control
module. A specific number of flashes (up to eight (8) flashes) of the two (2) RED bars
separated by a pause will indicate the type of fault detected. A chart of the diagnostic
indications is given in Diagnostic Codes on page 38.

Power/Drive Select Toggle Switch
A three (3) position power/drive select toggle switch is located on the side of the joystick
housing. The DRIVE SELECT position is momentary.
This switch allows the operator to select the type of operation or performance which best
suits a particular control need or situation. The DRIVE 1 program uses performance
values which are independent of those used for the DRIVE 2 or 3 or 4 program. As an
example, an operator may have a control need for spasticity in the morning and a very
different need in the afternoon. DRIVE 1 can be programmed for higher speeds and
quicker response while DRIVE 2 can be programmed for slower speeds and less
responsiveness. The remaining drive programs could also be used for indoor and outdoor
versions of DRIVE 1 and DRIVE 2. Finally, when a powered seating system is installed,
one of the remaining drives may be used to control the tilt, recline and/or elevate
functions.
Selecting the Drive Mode
1. Move the toggle UP and release. DRIVE 1 will appear on LCD.
2. Move the toggle UP and release again. DRIVE 2 will appear on LCD.
3. Move the toggle UP and release again. DRIVE 3 will appear on LCD.
4. Move the toggle UP and release again. DRIVE 4 will appear on LCD.
5. Move the toggle UP and release one more time to select DRIVE 1.
Turning the Wheelchair Off
1. Move the toggle BACK to turn the wheelchair off.
Speed Control Knob
The speed control knob is located on the side of the joystick housing.
1. Rotate the knob forward to increase the speed of the wheelchair to the programmed
max speed (FIGURE 3.2).
LCD Display
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 3.2 and FIGURE 3.3.
The LCD Display is located in front of the joystick and provides information on the status
of the wheelchair through a 2 line by 12 character length back lighted display. The LCD
display is readable in both bright sunlight and complete darkness (FIGURE 3.2).
During normal operation the active drive is displayed on the left half of the first line. The
left half of the second line displays the Battery Gauge Display (BGD). It provides
information on the remaining charge in the batteries. At full charge solid blocks fill in all
five segments between E (Empty) and F (Full). As the battery becomes discharged, the
furthest right segments will progressively disappear a half bar at a time until no segments
appear between E and F. At this level the word RECHARGE will appear on the second
line to indicate that the user should charge the batteries as soon as possible.

Remote Programmer Terminology
Function
A function is a performance characteristic which can be adjusted or modified to improve
the operation of the wheelchair for a particular control need. Two (2) examples are:
The forward speed function may be adjusted to a higher or lower speed the same way as
you would adjust a trimpot in other controls.
Stand-by Mode Function may be turned ON or OFF the same as a switch would be used.
All functions are listed in a menu.

SECTION 4—REMOTE PROGRAMMER
Value
Each function has a value. It is the degree or amount of the function which is used to
influence the overall wheelchair performance. Most values are numerical or in
percentages, for instance - high speed may be set to 75% of the wheelchair's maximum.
For others, the value is either ON or OFF, for example - Stand-by Mode. Changing a value
is called Adjustment.
Standard Program (Preset Programs)
The standard programs are fixed function values which are used as an initial set up point
from which individualization of the wheelchair performance can begin. Standard values
are NEVER altered or modified.
User Memory Values
The user memory values can only be changed through the Remote Programmer by first
modifying the temporary memory values and then by saving them in the user memory
where they become the user program. The Remote Programmer is activated by pressing
the POWER key when the wheelchair is in neutral. The wheelchair cannot be driven when
the LCD display is illuminated. The display will automatically turn itself OFF after 45
seconds if no keys are pressed. It can also be turned OFF by pressing the POWER key.

MENU ITEM DESCRIPTION
SPEED Adjusts the speed of the wheelchair. It affects forward speed, turning speed
and reverse speed simultaneously and uniformly. The fastest speed setting is
100%. Use the and to increase or decrease the speed of the wheelchair.
RESPONSE Adjusts the responsiveness or quickness of the wheelchair to changes in
drive commands. It affects acceleration, turn acceleration, turn deceleration, braking, torque and turning speed. The value of the Response parameter is set to 50% whenever a Standard Program is selected. It is good
practice to first select a standard program that is close to the desired performance and then use Response to individualize the driving performance
to the user. The Response parameter will be ineffective in making large
changes in wheelchair responsiveness, e.g. changing a fast/responsive drive
into one suitable for users needing tremor dampening. Use the and
to increase or decrease the responsiveness of the wheelchair.
