SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Before using your power chair, read and understand the following safety precautions:-*

• Keep your powered wheelchair in good working order. As with all electro-mechanical vehicles, it will benefit from regular service inspections at the recommended intervals.

• We recommend that at 6 monthly intervals to check electronic brake function, manual wheel - lock adjustment and the motor disengage operation.

• Always remember to use a safety belt when operating the wheelchair outdoors.

• Your powerchair is capable of negotiating slopes of up to 11 degrees (1 in 5 gradient), however, the

recommended safe slope for the wheelchair is advised as 6 degrees (1 in 10 gradient). Also, see page 8 - recommended driving position, and section 3 - Negotiating Slopes / Gradients..

• Take special care in bad weather. Braking and tyre grip may be affected on wet or icy surfaces, take care on slopes and uneven surfaces.

Do not attempt to drive across slopes, which may make the vehicle unstable, increasing the possibility of an accident and possible personal injury.

• When climbing hills or slopes it is important to travel up in one motion. Starting a forward movement from stationary on a slope requires extra care to avoid tipping backwards. Start slowly and accelerate cautiously.

• When travelling down an incline, select a low speed, stop periodically if the wheelchair moves faster than anticipated. Push the joystick forward slowly to continue the descent. Do not lean forward.

• Avoid parking on the edge of rivers, ponds, lakes, sea, etc.

• Adjustments should only be carried out by your authorised INVACARE®

dealer to ensure correct operation and safe use.

Representative models of Invacare powered wheelchairs are tested for use in a moving motor vehicle using recommended restraint systems. For further information contact your authorised

INVACARE dealer. It is the responsibility of the person or authority transporting the wheelchair with an occupant seated, to ensure the safety of the occupant and other passengers.

FEATURES

Motor speed and direction are regulated by the joystick control unit. With practice, automatic control of acceleration, braking and change of direction will ensure a smooth, jerk-free ride. The variable speed selector gives you total control in any environment.

HANDLING AND OPERATION - CONTROLLERS

Your wheelchair is fitted with a programmable electronic controller that is very simple to operate. There are a selection of options, PILOT INTEGRAL, PILOT+ and the DYNAMIC DL. Whichever is selected will be most appropriate for your individual needs. The appearance varies, the function and driving characteristics are basically similar. The PILOT INTEGRAL is fitted as standard.

The following instructions cover all types and available controller options.

PILOT INTEGRAL

Before you sit in the chair, make sure it is not switched ON. If it is switched ON the battery gauge indicator will be illuminated. Once you are sitting comfortably, press the on/off switch. The joystick controls the speed and direction of the wheelchair. The further you push the joystick from the centre position the faster the wheelchair will move. When you release the joystick the brakes are applied automatically. DO NOT use the on/off switch to stop the chair unless there is an emergency. If the emergency stop is applied, the chair will slow down and stop very quickly. This is called ‘SOFT STOP’. If the controller detects a malfunction, either in its circuits, or in the wheelchair’s electrical system, it may halt the chair depending on the severity of the problem. The 10 segment battery gauge display will indicate the fault type by rapidly flashing the number of bars to indicate the possible area of the fault. See the Fault Diagnostics section relevant to the type of controller.

The speed control sets the maximum speed of the wheelchair, turn clockwise to increase, anti-clockwise to decrease.

You may charge the batteries through the charge socket at the front of the control unit. Refer to section on batteries and battery charging. This socket may also be used for re-programming the controller should this be necessary (consult your dealer).

The controller units are sophisticated electronic components, and must be handled with care. Always clean your controller by wiping with a damp cloth only if it becomes contaminated with food or drink. Make sure the controller is securely fixed to your wheelchair.

TruCharge Battery Gauge This is a 10 segment illuminated display which indicates if the controller is turned on and also gives the status of the battery, the controller and the wheelchair electrical system. Red, yellow and green bars lit: Battery charged; controller and electrical system OK. Red and yellow bars lit: Charge battery if possible; controller and electrical system OK. Red bars only lit or slow flash: Charge battery as soon as possible, controller and electrical system OK. Rapid flash of bars: Indicates a fault in the controller or electrical system. See below for fault diagnostics. Ripple up and down of bars: Joystick displaced at turn on.

DYNAMIC DL CONTROLLER

When the ON/OFF button is pressed, a bleep tone can be heard from the controller and the battery charge indicator will light up confirming that power is switched on and the wheelchair is ready to move.

The Speed Control Knob on the rear of the Controller enables you to reduce the maximum speed at which the wheelchair can travel when the joystick is fully deflected in any direction. The more you turn this knob anticlockwise, the lower will be the maximum speed, no matter how far you push or pull the joystick.

The Battery Charge Indicator (Fig. 2) lights up when the ON/OFF button is pressed into ON. It gives you updated information as to how much charge approximately is left in the batteries, so that you can estimate how much further you can drive before you have to recharge the batteries. The reading will drop while the wheelchair is being driven, and increase after the wheelchair has been at a standstill for a few seconds. This is quite normal, and it is best to check the indicator while the wheelchair is stationary.

The battery charge indicator also informs you of any fault condition when one or several of its lamps begin to flash.

Display flashing slowly: the wheelchairs moves slowly, but with sluggish response and reduced speed indicates the batteries are discharged below the critical level or possible controller or motor fault.

Display flashing rapidly: (twice per second) and the wheelchair not moving also indicates the batteries are discharged below the critical level or a possible controller fault.

In both cases it is advisable to check and re-charge the batteries, if the fault indication persists, contact the authorised INVACARE dealer.

On the rear face of the controller you find the Battery Charging Socket. Underneath is a special socket for the connection of Programming Instruments if and when the response characteristics of the wheelchair (acceleration, deceleration, damping etc.) are to be further adjusted to your needs (Consult your authorised INVACARE dealer).

RECOMMENDED DRIVING POSITION

• INVACARE recommends that when driving your Spectra Plus during normal operating conditions the following seat and back angles are maintained:

• Seat Angle: - approximately 4°

• Back Angle: - approximately 7°

• Failure to observe the above precautions whilst driving may lead to instability, damage to the chair, user or those around you.

DX-REMG80I MASTER REMOTE

Please read these instructions carefully before using the DX-REMG80I, and keep this leaflet safe for future reference.

For Information: My Local wheelchair services representative is: ......................................................................

Based at ............................................ Telephone no:................................ Department: ..................................

1) IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR YOUR SAFETY

The information in this manual is a supplement to the user manual issued by Invacare. Do not operate this equipment without reading, understanding and following the proper instructions and manuals, otherwise injury or damage may result.

2) INTRODUCTION

The DX-REMG80I Remote is a primary DX Remote containing a battery gauge, magnetic key and a horn. Up to five individual Drive Programs or profiles are available. The DX-REMG80I also features two jack sockets allowing the connection of two external switches to duplicate the functions of the On/Off and Drive Program select buttons.

3) HANDLING AND TRANSPORTATION

To avoid any unnecessary damage to your control system whilst driving, avoid hitting obstacles with the controller or joystick. This also applies when transporting your chair. Avoid dropping the control system & be wary of possible damage to cables. (i.e. Being Trapped).

DX-REMG80I Remote fitting, testing and programming must be carried out by professionals of the health care field or persons fully conversant with this process and the driver’s capabilities. The control system should be demonstrated to the user when the chair is supplied. Incorrect settings could cause injury to the driver or bystanders, or damage to the wheelchair or surrounding property.

4) DRIVING THE WHEELCHAIR

The G80I Keypad

Once you are seated in your wheelchair. Switch on DX-REMG80I by gently pressing and releasing the on/off switch located on top of the controller at the front. The system status light will light up to show power on. (If the status light flashes rapidly it indicates that the joystick knob was not in its central position when the controller was switched on. Simply allow the knob to return to the central position. If this condition persists for more than 5 seconds a latched fault will occur and the 7-segment display will begin to flash. If this happens simply turn the remote on and off to clear the fault.

Drive Programs are selected using the Drive program selection switch. The selected drive program or profile is displayed in the 7-Segment display. Drive programs or profiles may be setup to change speed and/or select remote joysticks actuators, or lights. Appendix A explains the operation of lighting and actuator functions.

Move the joystick a little in the direction you wish to travel. The further you move the joystick knob, from the central rest position, the faster the chair will move. Small gentle movements of the joystick give fine control.

Releasing the joystick and allowing it to return to the center position will bring the chair to a controlled stop. When you have finished driving, switch off by pressing and releasing the on/off switch.

The fuel gauge on the top surface of the DX-REMG80I will have all 6 lights on, if your batteries are fully charged. As you use up the power by driving, the green lights and then the amber lights will go out. When only the red lights are left on, it is time to re-charge your batteries. The red light will flash as a further reminder.

A socket is provided at the front of the G80I to allow a battery charger to be connected. Follow the instructions for charging your batteries in the wheelchair manual. CAUTION – Only use the charger supplied by the wheelchair manufacturer. If in doubt contact your Wheelchair Services representative.

5) MAINTENANCE

1. The DX System should be regularly checked for integrity. Loose, damaged or corroded connectors or terminals, or damaged cabling should be replaced.

2. All switchable functions on the DX System should be regularly tested to ensure they function correctly.

3. All DX system components should be kept free of dust, dirt and liquids. If necessary wipe with a cloth dampened with warm water or alcohol. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.
