and easy to understand. The control system incorporates stateof-the-art electronics, the result of many years of research, to
provide you with ease of use and a very high level of safety. In
common with other electronic equipment, correct handling and
operation of the unit will ensure maximum reliability.
Please read this chapter carefully - it will help you to keep your
wheelchair reliable and safe.
R-Net wheelchair control system is simple
Joystick Module

Your control system uses industrial-grade components
throughout, ensuring reliable operation in a wide range of
conditions. However, you will improve the reliability of the
control system if you keep exposure to extreme conditions to a
minimum.
Do not expose your control system or its components to damp
for
prolonged periods. If the control system becomes
contaminated with food or drink clean it off as soon as possible.
An R-Net control system comprises a minimum of two modules
- Joystick Module and Power Module. Because of the modular
design, the depth of the control system can be greatly
increased. Fig 3.0 shows an example of a basic set up.
Avoid knocking your control system and especially the joystick.
Be careful not to strike obstacles with the control system or
joystick when you drive. Never drop the control system. When
transporting your wheelchair, make sure that the control system
is well protected. Avoid damage to cables.
To disconnect the Communication Cables hold the connector
housing firmly, pull the connectors apart.
Do not hold or pull on the cable. Always grip the connector
when connecting and disconnecting.
Fig.3.1
Clean the control system and the joystick with a cloth
dampened with diluted detergent. Be careful when cleaning the
joystick and screen.
Never use abrasive or spirit-based cleaners.
WARNING!
Before cleaning, ensure the control system is switched off and
the communication cable is disconnected, (see Fig 3.1).
When the control system is first switched on after a connection
or system component change, the Timer will be displayed
while the system checks itself and then the re-start icon will be
displayed. Switch the control system off and on again to
operate.

6.2 Using Y
our Control System
Make sure that the control system is mounted securely and
that the joystick position is correct (Fig 6.2). The hand or limb
you use to operate the joystick should be supported, for
example by the wheelchair arm pad. Do not use the joystick
as the sole support for your hand or limb - wheelchair
movements and
bumps could upset your control.
Driving Technique
The control system interprets your joystick movements and
produces appropriate movements of your wheelchair. It is
easy and simple to control the wheelchair as the system uses
proportional control, which is especially useful if you are
inexperienced. One popular technique is to simply point the
joystick in the direction you want to go (Fig 6.3). The
wheelchair will “home-in” on the direction you push the
joystick.
The further you push the joystick away from the rest position,
the faster the wheelchair will go. Releasing the joystick will
stop the
wheelchair.
The intelligent speed control system minimizes the effects of
slopes and different types of terrain.
Slow or sluggish movement
If the wheelchair does not travel at full speed or does not
respond quickly enough, and the battery condition is good,
check the maximum speed setting (Fig 6.4). If adjusting the
speed setting does not remedy the problem then it’s possible
there may be a non-hazardous fault. Contact your
authorized
dealer.

8.0 The Battery Gauge
The battery gauge is included to let you know how much
charge is left in your batteries. The best way for you to use the
gauge is to learn how it behaves as you drive the wheelchair.
Like the fuel gauge in a car, it is not completely accurate, but it
will help you avoid running out of “fuel” (Fig 8.0
The battery gauge works in the following way:
When you switch on the control system, the battery gauge
shows an estimate of the remaining battery charge.
The battery gauge gives you a more accurate reading about a
minute after you start driving the wheelchair.
When you replace worn out batteries, fit the type recommended
by Sunrise Medical. If you use another type the battery gauge
may be inaccurate.
The amount of charge in your batteries depends on a number
of factors, including the way you use your wheelchair, the
temperature of the batteries, their age and the way they are
made. These factors will affect the distance you can travel in
your wheelchair. All wheelchair batteries will gradually lose their
capacity as they age.
The most important factor that reduces the life of your batteries
is the amount of charge you take from the batteries before you
recharge them. Battery life is also reduced by the number of
times you charge and discharge the batteries.
).
Fig.8.2
Fig.8.3
To make your batteries last longer, do not allow them to
become completely flat. Always recharge your batteries
promptly after they are discharged.
If your battery gauge reading seems to fall more quickly than
usual, your batteries may be worn out.
Please consult your authorized
dealer.
8.1 How to Read a Battery Gauge
If the battery gauge shows red, yellow, and green, the batteries
are charged (Fig 8.1).
If the battery gauge shows just red and yellow, then you should
fully charge the batteries as soon as you can (Fig 8.2).
If the battery gauge shows just red, either steady or flashing
slowly, then you should fully charge the batteries immediately
(Fig 8.3).

9.1 Battery Charging
To charge the wheelchair batteries:
•
Connect the charger plug into the battery charger socket on
the R-Net JSM.
• You will not be able to drive the wheelchair when the charger
is connected.
• To connect the charger plug, ensure the single pin is at the
bottom, as shown in Fig 9.0, then offer the charger plug to the
R-Net in a horizontal orientation.
• The molded guide on the R-Net will help you to locate the
plug. Ensure the plug is pushed fully into position.
WARNING!
•
Do not exceed the maximum charging current of 12A-rms.
Always use an off-board charger fitted with a Neutrik NC3MX
plug. Failure to observe these conditions could result in poor
contact resistance in the charger connector resulting in
overheating of the charger plug. This presents a potential burn
hazard for the user. Sunrise Medical accepts no liability for
losses of any kind arising from failure to comply with this
condition.
• Do not disconnect batteries or open-circuit the circuit breaker
while charging is in progress. Failure to observe this condition
could result in a burns hazard or fire hazard.

Ensure the connector is correctly inserted and if there are
locking screws, ensure they are fully tightened.
WARNING!
The SID should be fitted to the powerchair in
accordance with the instructions of both the SID
and power chair manufacturers.
Because of the wide variety of SIDs available and the
constantly changing specifications, it is not practical to provide
a definitive list of SID classifications in this manual.
You, your healthcare professional, and wheelchair provider
will determine the exact classification of the chosen type of
SID. Further details on each SID type are given in the
following sections.
In addition to the SID for controlling the power chair functions,
the Omni2 has facility for the connection of an optional, user
operated Power button. The function of this is identical to the
Power button on the Omni2’s front panel.
13.2 Connection of SID, (Fig 13.0)
For single SID operation, always connect the SID to Port 1.
Port comprises:
A 1/8" (3.5mm) mono jack for the User Switch.
A 9-way input connector with a TRACE standard pin-out.
A Sip and Puff input.
Make sure that all SID connections to the Omni2 are securely
mated.
Route and secure all cables and tubes in such a way as to
prevent damage by crushing, cutting, or snagging.
Some SIDs will have a ‘detect-link’ fitted. This link
enables the Omni2 to detect if the D-type connector has
become disconnected. The Omni2 will need to be
programmed to look for a ‘detect-link’. Refer to the 9-way
Detect section in the Programming chapter for further
details.
To enhance the system safety and to ease diagnostics, it
is recommended that this feature be used if the SID has
such a link. If this feature is used and the Omni2 detects
the SID is disconnected, a screen as shown in Fig 13.1 will
appear.

13.11 Sip and Puff Calibration (Fig 13.7)
If a new Sip and Puff SID is fitted, then the following
calibration procedure must be performed to match the Omni2
to the user’s operating capabilities.
To begin, contact your authorized dealer so they can access
the programming menu. From there, follow the path detailed
below, using the right navigation button on the front of the
Omni2:
Omni – Global – Sip and Puff – Calibrate
A screen like the one shown below should appear (Fig 13.7).
Fig.13.6
Fig.13.7
Soft Sip
Soft Sip will be highlighted first. The user mus
s
eries of soft sips. After each sip, a live readout of the
urrent pressure will be displayed on the screen in the form
c
of a line within the 0 - 100 scale. Repeated soft sips will
produce a ‘band’ of values. During this process it may be
beneficial for the user to look away from the screen. This
prevents ‘false’ values where the user may be trying to
attain earlier levels. Once you are satisfied that you can
produce a soft sip consistently within this band, your
healthcare professional or authorized dealer will save that
range and move on to highlight Hard Sip.
Hard Sip
The user must now make a series of hard sips to produce a
new Hard Sip band. Ideally there should be as much
difference as possible between the Soft Sip and Hard Sip
values. To aid the Omni2’s differentiation between these
pressures, the healthcare professional / authorized dealer
should move the Threshold Marker, (shown in Fig 13.8
opposite page), to the middle of the gap between the
hardest soft command and the softest hard command. This
is done via the + / - buttons on the front of the Omni2. Once
a suitable threshold is set, use the right navigate button on
the front of the Omni2 to highlight Soft Puff.

R-Net Control System w/Omni2
The Omni2 can be programmed to access all the available
wheelchair functions in two ways – by Menu or by Sequence.
The programmable parameter that sets the access method is
User Control. The Menu method is where an activation of the
User Switch while in Drive Mode will bring up an on-screen
User Menu as shown in Fig 13.9. SID direction commands are
then used to navigate the menu and select functions.
Should you wish to change this function to “Sequence”, please
consult your healthcare professional or authorized dealer. The
Sequence method is where successive activations of the User
Switch will sequentially access all the wheelchair functions.
WARNING!
Fig.13.8
Now repeat the sequence of instructions for both soft and hard
puffs including the Threshold setting. Once calibration has
been performed, your healthcare professional or authorized
dealer will save your settings.
Please note that all values must be greater than the
Deadband setting, for calibration to be performed successfully.
13.12 Single Switch Scanner
A single User Switch is connected to the Omni2 via one of the
1/8" (3.5mm) mono jacks.
If the Omni2 is configured to operate with a Single Switch
Scanner Type SID, the scan rate can be programmed to suit
the user. Refer to your healthcare professional or authorized
dealer for programing this parameter.
13.13 User Switch
With the exception of scanner operation the User Switch
provides the following functionality.
A short operation while not driving will select the different
wheelchair functions. See section 13.15. (Fig 13.9)
A short operation while driving or making a seating adjustment
will stop all movement, i.e. an emergency stop function.
A long operation while not driving will put the Omni2 to sleep.
To wake the Omni2, a short operation of the User Switch is
required.
The time of a long operation is preset to 1 second, but it is
programmable from 0.25 to 5.0 seconds via the parameter
Switch Long. Refer to your healthcare professional or
authorized dealer for programming this parameter.

ed dealer.
13.14 Using the Omni2 without a User Switch
With the exception of scanner operation it is possible to use
the Omni2 without a User Switch. This can be achieved by
setting the Omni2 parameter Timeout to Menu. This function
will mean that the User Menu will automatically be entered
after a period of SID inactivity. Once in the User Menu, the
SID’s direction commands can be used to select the menu
options.
In this scenario, the Omni2 can be put to sleep by selecting
that option in the User Menu. To awake the Omni2, the
following SID sequence is required: Left, Right, Left, Right.
Note, this waking method only works if the Omni2 has been
put to sleep via the User Menu.
Because the User Switch provides a method of emergency
stopping, then a method of emergency stopping will not exist.
The decision not to utilize the User Switch lies with the
healthcare professional who is commissioning the powerchair.
14.0 Omni2 Operating Principles
249044 Rev. A

from unsuitable values.
14.2 General Operating Principles
When the Omni2 is powered-up or awoken, then a screen
like Fig 14.0 will appear. Power-Up can be via the power
button on the Display Section or via a switch connected into
the External On/Off Switch Jack; while Wake-Up can be via
the User Switch or a particular SID sequence if a User
Switch is not fitted. See the Using the Omni2 without a
User Switch section for details of this sequence.
Forward and Reverse SID commands will change the
highlighted line on the menu. It is also possible to program an
automatic scanning sequence, which will highlight each line in
turn. Refer to your healthcare professional or authorized
dealer.
At the right hand end of each line, there will be either a > or a
number surrounded by < >, i.e. < 3 >
A > symbol indicates that a Right SID command (or a User
Switch operation when using a Single Switch Scanner Type
SID) will enter that function.
A <3> display indicates that Left and Right SID commands (or
a User Switch operation when using a Single Switch Scanner
Type SID) will change the selection for that function. The User
Menu can provide the following functions.
Please see opposite page (Fig 14.2).
This is a typical screen. Depending on SID type,
or system configuration and status, there may be additional
icons.

0. If the User Switch is released and a Forward/Reverse
command is entered, then drive will commence in the newly
selected
If the User Switch is not released and is held for time period set
by the programmable parameter, Switch Medium, then this is
interpreted as a conventional User Switch operation, i.e. the
User Menu will be entered or the other wheelchair functions
would be sequenced. There will be no direction toggle in this
instance.
Fwd / Rev Auto Toggle should be set to Off.
As with the other two methods, if the User Switch is operated
for a period greater than the time set by the programmable
parameter, Switch Long, then the Omni2 will go to sleep.
14.6.4 Seating Control
Standard control of seating movement is via the Forward/
Reverse command, and Left and Right commands will select a
different seat axis for movement. The direction of movement is
selected in the same way as that for changing drive direction.
Please refer to Section 14.6.
As is often required in head array situations, it is possible to reprogram the Omni2 to control the seating movement in
alternative ways. Refer to your healthcare professional or
authorized dealer.
14.6.5 Associated Programming

17.0 Omni2 Infra Red Control (IR) (Fig 17.0)
The Omni2 Display Section includes an IR transmitter and
receiver that allows it to replicate commonly used IR
devices, such as remote controls for TVs, DVDs, Cable/
Satellite or environmental controls such as automatic door
openers.
Once an Omni2 with IR Control is connected to an R-net
system, then IR Control can be from a conventional Joystick
Module (or other Input Device) or from a Specialty Input
Device that is connected to the Omni2.
17.1 User Menu (Fig 17.1)
IR Mode is accessed via the User Menu.
IR Mode will only be available if IR Codes have been stored in
the Omni2. There are two ways to store IR Codes in the
Omni2 – by ‘learning’ Codes from IR handsets or by
programming from the PC-based IR Configuration Tool, refer
to section 17.4 and (Fig 17.1-17.14) for respective details of
each method.
On entering IR Mode, the user will be presented with a list of
available IR Appliances.
Note:
When an Omni2 is dispatched from Sunrise Medical, it will
contain a default menu. If required, the IR Configuration tool
can be used to change this default menu.
The IR Mode Menu is navigated in the usual way:
Forward SID deflections will highlight the Appliance above.
Reverse SID deflections will highlight the Appliance below.
Left or Right SID deflections will enter the highlighted
Appliance’s sub-menu, which will contain all the IR
Commands for that Appliance.
Left or Right SID deflections will then activate the highlighted
IR Command.
For each Appliance there is a list of associated IR
Commands. Using the TV example, Commands such as: On/
Off, Channel Up, Channel Down, Volume Up and Volume
Down may be displayed. When the Omni2 is transmitting the
selected Command, it is highlighted with a red background,
Fig 17.2.

Select Learn Code, by using the Right button while the
Command is highlighted, Fig 17.7.
Point the TV remote control at the Omni2’s Receiver and
press the On/Off button twice, Fig 17.8.
A check denotes a successful learn operation. A cross
denotes an unsuccessful learn operation, please retry,
Fig 17.9.
Note:
The first time an IR Code has been learned, it is necessary to
cycle the power to the Omni2. If other IR Codes are already
learned, then this is not necessary.
17.4.1 Learning and IR Code - Sequence
Multiple IR Codes can be learned against one Command in
the Omni2 IR Set-Up Menu. This enables multiple IR Codes
to be transmitted through one Command in the Omni2 when
in IR mode.
Examples:
1. The On/Off function for multiple appliances (the TV and
the DVD for example) can be learned against one entry in
the Omni2 menu. The Omni2 will then transmit the Codes for
the learned Command in one burst. In this case turning the
TV and the DVD recorder on or off, effectively
simultaneously.
2. Previously selecting a TV channel required the user to
select the individual channel’s digits from a list. This could be
quite cumbersome when trying to select a TV channel with
multiple digits e.g. Channel 143. Now the individual Codes
for “1”, ”4” and “3” can be learned against one Command in
the Omni2 IR Set Up Menu. When this Command is selected

R-Net Control System w/Omni2
The Omni2 can control an iDevice in two ways:
Fig.18.6
• Using the
• Using the
iDevice’s Switch Control functionality
iDevice's Switch Control functionality in conjunction
with the iDevice's Voice Over functionality
These two methods will be referred to as Switch Control and
Voice over respectively, and each is explained in the following
sections.
Switch
Control
The principle of Switch Control is that certain iDevice
commands, such as the Home button or tapping the screen,
can be assigned to commands received via Bluetooth from an
external device such as the Omni2.
The process for assigning Omni2 commands to the iDevice
commands is covered in section Switch Control Set-Up.
An example of Switch Control is given below. Please note, the
screen navigation sequences are defined by the iDevice and
not the Omni2.
NOTE:
Switch Control operates by highlighting sections within the
application window. Various commands are then used to
navigate the sections and to select individual applications
(Fig 18.6).
iDevice command Next Item selects another highlighted area
(Fig 18.7).
Fig.18.7
iDevice command Select Item enters the highlighted area
(Fig 18.8).

select individual icons within the highlighted area (Fig18.9).
iDevice command Select Item opens the highlighted item.
Depending on the nature of the application, areas of the
screen will be highlighted and similar commands to the above
can be used to navigate it (Fig 18.10).

Over
Voice Over operates in conjunction with Switch Control, but
offers an alternative method of screen navigation.
Examples are given (Fig 18.12 - 18.15). Please note, the
screen navigation sequences are defined by the iDevice
and not the CJSM2-BT.
iDevice commands Cursor Right and Cursor Left select
individual icons within a row (Fig 18.12 - 18.13).
The same iDevice commands also navigate the rows.
Opening items and returning to the Home screen are
effected in the same way as Switch Control
(Fig 18.14 - 18.15).

19.2 Safety Checks
The electronic circuits in your control system have been
designed to be extremely safe and reliable. The on-board
microcomputer carries out safety checks at up to 100 times
per second. To supplement this safety monitoring you should
carry out the following periodic checks.
If the control system fails any of these checks, do not use the
wheelchair and contact your authorized dealer.
19.3 Daily Checks
With the control system switched off, check that the joystick is
not bent or damaged and that it returns to the center when you
push and release it. If there is a problem do not continue with
the safety checks and contact your authorized dealer.
19.4 Weekly Checksrg brake:
This test should be carried out on a level floor within a clear

22.0 CJSM2 IR Setup and Operation
249044 Rev. A
89
R-Net Control System w/Omni2
22.1 Introduction
The CJSM2 includes an IR transmitter and receiver to replicate
commonly used IR devices, such as remote controls for TVs,
DVDs, Cable/Satellite or environmental controls such as
automatic door openers (Fig 20.1).
22.2 CJSM2 Used With An Omni2-IR
If there are two devices with IR connected into a system,
for example a CJSM2 and an Omni2-IR, only one of the
devices can have IR codes stored in it.
If there are IR codes in both devices, then IR Mode will not be
accessible.
If a CJSM2 and an Omni2-IR are connected into a system, the
Omni2-IR’s learning function is disabled and IR codes must be
learned through the CJSM2.
To ensure the CJSM2 supports a greater number of modern
day IR appliances, the storage format of its IR codes is
different to that of the Omni2-IR.
Therefore, it is not possible to use the IR Configurator to
exchange IR codes between the devices, (contact your Sunrise
Medical
authorized dealer).
Fig.22.1
IR Control Mode is accessed in the normal way of Mode
selection, i.e. operation of the R-Net system’s Mode button or
Command.
IR Control Mode will only be available if IR Codes have been
stored in the CJSM2.
There are two ways to store IR Codes in the CJSM2: by
‘learning’ Codes from IR handsets; or by programing from the
PC based IR Configuration Tool, (contact your Sunrise Medical
authorized dealer).
Refer to section IR Set Up for details of the method.
NOTE:
If IR Mode is not available and there are stored IR Codes, then
refer to your Sunrise Medical authorized dealer.

22.6 Learning Sequential IR Codes
249044 Rev. A
92
R-Net Control System w/Omni2
Multiple IR Codes can be learned against one Command in
the CJSM2 IR set up menu. This enables multiple IR Codes
to be transmitted through one Command in the CJSM2
when in IR mode.
Example of use:
1. The on/off function for multiple appliances (the TV and the
DVD for example) can be learned against one entry in the IR
Set up menu. The CJSM2 will then transmit the Codes for
learned Command in one burst. In this case, turning the TV

R-Net Control System w/Omni2
23.1 Introduction
The R-Net CJSM2-BT allows a wheelchair user to control
multiple Bluetooth enabled devices. T
include PC mouse control or operation of a Smart device.
Up to four devices can be controlled. Two of which can be
Apple iOS devices and two of which can be Windows or
Android devices.
.2 Operation and Configuring
23
Bluetooth Mode will only be available if one or more devices
are set to On in the Settings Menu. See section Bluetooth
Mode Screen Configur
The CJSM2-BT and target Bluetooth devices will remain paired
until they are disconnected by the target device.
Once a CJSM2-BT has been paired with a Bluetooth device,
the module remembers the device’s unique identifier. This
means the wheelchair can be driven outside the operating
range of the Bluetooth connection and upon returning within
range the connection will be automatically reinstated.
There are three configuration processes that need to be carried
out:

iDevice’s Switch Control functionality
iDevice's Switch Control functionality in conjunction
with the iDevice's Voice Over functionality
These two methods will be referred to as Switch Control and
Voice over respectively, and each is explained in the following
sections.
Switch
Control
The principle of Switch Control is that certain iDevice
commands, such as the Home button or tapping the screen,
can be assigned to commands received via Bluetooth from an
external device such as the CJSM2-BT.
The process for assigning CJSM2-BT commands to the iDevice
commands is covered in section Switch Control Set-Up.
An example of Switch Control is given below.
NOTE:
The screen navigation sequences are defined by the iDevice
and not the CJSM2-BT.
Switch Control operates by highlighting sections within the
application window. Various commands are then used to
navigate the sections and to select individual applications
