IV. NOTICE– READ BEFORE USE

A. CHOOSE THE RIGHT CHAIR & SAFETY OPTIONS

Sunrise provides a choice of many power wheelchair styles, sizes and adjustments to meet the needs of the user. However, final selection of a wheelchair rests solely with you and your health care professional. Choosing the best chair for you depends on such

hings as:

1. Your size, disability, strength, balance and coordination.

2. Your intended use, and your level of activity.

3. The types of hazards you must overcome in daily use (in areas where you are likely to use your chair).

4. The need for options for your safety and comfort (such as positioning belts or special seat systems).

INTENDED USE:

with wheels that is intended for medical purposes to provide mobility to persons restricted to a sitting position.

The Quickie PULSE is a battery operated device

B. ADJUST CHAIR TO YOUR ABILITY

You need to work with your doctor, nurse or therapist, and your supplier, to fit this chair and adjust the controller settings for your level of function and ability.

C. REVIEW THIS MANUAL OFTEN

Before using this chair you, and each person who may assist you, should read this entire Manual and make sure to follow all instructions. Review the warnings often, until they are second nature to you.

D. WARNINGS

The word “WARNING” refers to a hazard or unsafe practice that may cause severe injury or death to you or to other persons. The “Warnings” are in four main sections, as follows:

1. V — EMI

Here you will learn about electromagnetic interference and how it can affect your chair.

2. VI — GENERAL WARNINGS

Here you will find a safety checklist and a summary of risks you need to be aware of before you ride this chair.

3. VII — WARNINGS — COMPONENTS & OPTIONS

Here you will learn about your chair. Consult your supplier and your health care professional to help you choose the best set-up and options for your safety.

4. X — BATTERIES

Here you will learn about battery and charger safety, and how to avoid injury.

Throughout this owner’s manual and on the wheelchair you will see the icons listed below to identify warnings and potential hazards.

WARNING!

ESD:

Electrostatic Discharge can damage printed

These warnings must be followed, failure to do so may cause personal injury or may damage the wheelchair.

circuit boards.

WARNING

Heed all warnings to reduce the risk of unintended brake release or chair movement:

1. Beware of the danger from hand-held transceivers. Never turn on or use a hand-held transceiver while power to your chair is on. Use extra care if you believe that such a device may be in use near your chair.

2. Be aware of nearby radio or TV stations, and avoid coming close to them.

3. If unintended movement occurs, turn your chair off as soon as it is safe to do so.

A. WHAT IS EMI?

WARNING

1. EMI means: electromagnetic (EM) interference (I). EMI comes from radio wave sources such as radio transmitters and transceivers. (A “transceiver” is a device that both sends and receives radio wave signals).

2. There are a number of sources of intense EMI in your daily environment. Some of these are obvious and easy to avoid. Others are not, and you may not be able to avoid them.

3. Powered wheelchairs may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emitted from sources such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two way radios, and cellular phones.

4. EMI can also be produced by conducted sources or electrostatic discharge (ESD).

V. EMI (ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE)

B. WHAT EFFECT CAN EMI HAVE?

WARNING

1. EMI can cause your chair, without warning, to:

• Release its brakes

• Move by itself

• Move in unintended directions If any of these occur, it could result in severe injury to you or others.

2. EMI can damage the control system of your chair. This could create a safety hazard, and lead to costly repairs.

3. EMI can cause Bluetooth connection, and/or mouse interference.

C. SOURCES OF EMI

WARNING

The sources of EMI fall into four broad types:

1. Hand-Held Transceivers:

The antenna is usually mounted directly on the unit. These include:

• Citizens band (CB) radios

• “Walkie-talkies”

• Security, fire and police radios

• Mobile phones

• Lap-top computers with phone or fax

• Other personal communication devices

NOTE –

2. Wireless Routers

These devices can transmit signals while they are on, even if not in use.

119832 Rev. G

QUI CK IE PU LS E

3. Medium-Range Mobile Transceivers:

These include two-way radios used in police cars, fire trucks, ambulances and taxi cabs. The antenna is usually mounted on the outside of the vehicle.

4. Long-Range Transceivers:

These include commercial radio and TV broadcast antenna towers and amateur (HAM) radios.

NOTE–

top computers (without phone or fax), Cordless phones, TV sets or AM/FM radios, CD or tape players.

The following are not likely to cause EMI problems: Lap-

D. DISTANCE FROM THE SOURCE

WARNING

Electro-magnetic energy rapidly becomes more intense as you get closer to the source. For this reason, EMI from hand-held devices is of special concern. these devices can bring high levels of EM energy very close to your chair without you knowing it.

CAUTION -

ference or loss of connection if the wheelchair is within 1 meter of a wireless router.

For additional detail regarding the recommended separation distance between radio frequency communication equipment and this product, see Appendix Table 4 (Recommended separation distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the product)

If using Bluetooth, the user might experience inter-

V. EMI (ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE)

WARNING

There is no way to know the effect on EMI if you add accessories or modify this chair. Any change to your chair may increase the risk of EMI. Parts not specifically tested or parts from other suppliers have unknown EMI properties. For additional detail regarding the testing and use of this product with respect to electromagnetic immunity, see Appendix, Tables 2 and 3 (Guidance and manufacturers declaration - electromagnetic Immunity)

F. REPORT ALL SUSPECTED EMI INCIDENTS

WARNING

You should promptly report any unintended movement or brake release. Be sure to indicate whether there was a radio wave source near your chair at the time. Contact:

Sunrise Medical, Customer Service Department at (800) 333-4000.

G. EMI FROM CHAIR

WARNING

The chair itself can disturb the performance of electromagnetic fields such as emitted by alarm systems of shops. For additional detail regarding the testing and use of this product with respect to electromagnetic emissions, see Appendix, Table 1 (Guidance and manufacturers declaration - electromagnetic emissions)

H. HEAD ARRAY SAFETY AND RFI

E. IMMUNITY LEVEL

WARNING

1. The level of EM is measured in volts per meter (V/m). Every power wheelchair can resist EMI up to a certain level. This is called its “immunity level”.

2. The higher the immunity level, the less the risk of EMI. It is believed that a 20 V/m immunity level will protect the power wheelchair user from the more common sources of radio waves.

3. The common configuration tested and found to be immune to at least 20 V/m is: Quickie Pulse power wheelchair with a right-hand mounted RNET remote joystick system, 18" seat width, 18" seat depth, dual post height adjustable armrests, fixed tapered legrests with a two piece footplate, and Gp 22 gel cell batteries.

4. All After Market input device options, classified as breath controls, Proportional controls, and/or Switched controls that can be used with this powerchair, have an unknown effect on their immunity level to different types of EMI. They have not been specifically tested with the Pulse 5/6 and RNET control system.

5. All modifications required for the common configuration to comply with ANSI/RESNA WC2/21 have been installed

WARNING

If there is any doubt that the specialty control input device is not immune to 20V/m, extra care should be taken around known sources of EMI.

WARNING

If you have a Head-array, the sensors used in the product have the potential to operate unintentionally if moisture or any substance that is electrically conductive is present in sufficient quantities.

Electro magnetic interference from electrical power lines and certain types of phones can cause the sensors to activate.

These sensors are capacitive in nature, and can generate an electronic field, which can be affected by liquids and/or a source of radio frequency Interferance (RFI). Any material that is conductive has the potential to activate the Head-array unintentionally.

Avoid

use under high power lines and around cell phones.

Avoid

the use of a Head Array in rain or snow and protect against

the potential of spilled liquids on the sensors.

Avoid

cell phones and electronic devices in proximity to the array.

Avoid

any source that has the potential of (RFI).

Warn

the user of this chair that the chair controls have the potential of acting erractically or making sudden stops, if (RFI) is not avoided.

If any (RFI) causes erratic behavior, immediately cut off the power to the wheelchair, and wait until the interference passes.

2. Stop often and check to make sure your path is clear of obstacles.

R. RAMPS, SLOPES & SIDEHILLS

WARNING

Your center of balance changes when you are on a slope.

NOTE –

Beware Of:

“Slope” includes a ramp or sidehill. Your chair is less sta-

ble when it is at an angle. Never use this chair on a slope unless your are sure it is safe. When in doubt, have someone help you.

1. Steep slopes. Do Not use this chair on a slope steeper than 6%. (A 6% slope means: One foot in elevation for every ten feet of slope length).

2. Wet or slippery surfaces (such as when ice, snow, water or oil film is present). A loss of traction may cause a fall or tipover.

3. A change in grade on a slope (or a lip, bump or depression). These may cause a fall or tip-over.

4. A drop-off at the bottom of a slope. (A drop-off of as small as 3/4 inch (19 mm) can stop a front caster and cause the chair to tip forward).

WARNING

The angle of the pelvic belt should be within the preferred zone of 45 to 75 degrees to the horizontal or within the optional zone of 30 to 45 degrees to the horizontal.

Steeper side-view pelvic belt angles are especially important if the pelvic belt is intended to be used for postural support in addition to occupant restraint in a frontal crash. Steeper angles will reduce the tendency for a vertical gap to develop between the user and the belt due to compliance of seat cushions and belt movement, thereby reducing the tendency for the user to slip under the belt and for the belt to ride up on the soft abdomen during normal use. Steeper belt angles also

educe the tendency for upper-torso belts to pull the pelvic belt onto the abdomen

r during frontal impact loading.

1. Proper Installation

a. The pelvic belt should be worn low across the front of the pelvis. b. Position the upper torso belts over the shoulders. c. The belt(s) should not be held away from the body by the wheelchair compo-

nents or parts, including

but not limited to the armrests or wheels. d. Ensure the belt(s) are not twisted. e. Adjust belts as firmly as possible being mindful of user comfort f. Place the upper-torso belt across the middle of the shoulder and the center of

the chest, and connect to the pelvic belt near the hip of the power chair occu-

pant.

GENERAL USE WARNINGS

WARNING

If the total weight of the power chair exceeds 275lbs(125Kg), it is recommended that two additional ANSI/RESNA WC/Vol.4, Section 18/ISO 10542 compliant rear securement straps be used to anchor the power chair during motor vehicle transport. For power chairs that exceed the weight threshold mentioned above, It is further recommended that the vehicle used for transport have a gross vehicle weight greater than 8800lbs(4000Kg) if the option exists.

WARNING

The buckle of the belt restraint system should not be located near any item that may come in contact with the buckle release button in the event of a vehicle accident or collision.

WARNING

If a recline angle is required during transport, the Power chair seat/back should be positioned at an angle of no more than 30° to the vertical or the occupant is at risk of injury from sliding under the restraint in the event of an accident or collision while in the motor vehicle.

WARNING

Visually inspect all WTORS equipment at least once per month, and have worn or broken components replaced immediately.

WARNING

Interior components that can’t be removed from the clear zones should be padded with material that complies with FMVSS201.

If an Upper torso belt is in use, the anchor point(A) should be above and behind the occupant to ensure the occupant is properly restrained during transport.

WARNING

Although postural supports and belts may be used in a moving vehicle in addition to the occupant belt restraint system, they should not be relied upon to replace occupant restraints that have been designed and tested for the purpose of securing an occupant during a motor vehicle collision or accident. Any postural supports that can be used during transit, must be positioned so that they do not interfere with the clear path for proper transit securement belt restraint.

IX. CONTROLLER, JOYSTICKS & OPERATING GUIDE

Profiles and modes explained

The operation of the R-net system is based around the concept of Profiles and Modes.

A Profile is a collection of programmable parameters that affect the operation and performance of the wheelchair. It is typical to have 5 Profiles, each set-up to give a different driving performance. For example, Profile 1 may have very slow settings for speeds and accelerations, while

rofiles 2 through to 5 would have progressively faster settings. In this way, the user can change

P the performance of the wheelchair by selecting the appropriate Profile with the Profile Button on the JSM. Although Profiles are used mainly to change driving performance, they can also contain parameters for other functions, such as seating control.

A Mode reflects the actual operation that occurs as a result of a joystick command. Typical

xamples are Drive Mode, Seating Control Mode and Bluetooth Mode. The user can select the

e required Mode with the Mode Button on the JSM. Note, it will only be possible to select a Mode if there is a Module that will support that Mode connected into the system. For example, if there is no Mouse Module connected, then the user will not be able to select that Mode.

A. CONTROLS

Omni Input Display

The Omni input display is a universal specialty controls interface that accepts signals from many different types of SIDs and translates them into commands compatible with the PG Drives Technology RNET control system.

B. CONNECTORS

Mating Connectors

To connect the communication cables (A):

Holding the connector housing, firmly push the connector into its mate until you can no longer see the yellow plastic. The connectors are secured using a friction system.

To disconnect the communication cables:

Holding the connector housing firmly, pull the connectors apart.

NOTE

– Do not hold or pull on the cable. Always grip the connector when connecting and

disconnecting.

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. Then the re-start icon will be displayed. Switch the control system off and on again to operate,

Programming the Chair:

a. Access via DTT (Diagnostic Test Tool), or the PC

Programmer require an inline connection to the communication cable.

b. Program as needed. c. Remove Dongle or recycle power.

NOTE–

Review the RNET OBP Owner’s Manual for more details on how

to program your chair.

H. CTRL+5 ASSIGNABLE BUTTONS

The Ctrl+5 (Canbus switch) is a device that plugs into the PG Drives R-net system and allows for the set up of up to ten different functions into the ten discrete buttons, (each toggle switch is two buttons). This device uses the Sunrise Medical patented Assignable Buttons feature. The Ctrl+5 switches are pre-programmed from the factory to default values for the actuators on the chairs. Using the Dealer PC Programmer and dongle, the button assignments can be changed to any of the Assignable Buttons functions to suit the user just like the joystick buttons.

I. JOYSTICK STATIONARY

Your chair has an available programming feature called “Joystick Stationary” which can be set by your dealer. This feature senses

hen the joystick is displaced from neutral, yet left in a steady posi-

w tion for a predetermined period of time. The controller will automatically turn off if the set time has been reached. This feature is designed to protect the user, batteries and electronics if the joystick is inadvertently displaced. There are two parameters that can be adjusted:

Joystick Stationary Time

1. This is the time the joystick has to remain within the stationary range before the unit will come to a stop. It can be programmed from 0 to 60 minutes in steps of one minute.

elect 0 to disable the function. Default setting is 0

S (Disabled).

Joystick Stationary Range

2. This determines the size of a region around the present joystick position. If the joystick remains within this region for the stationary time the controller will stop. The range can be programmed from 1 to 50, in steps of 1. Default setting is 1.

WARNING

Before turning on or adjusting these parameters, carefully read and understand the implications for use of these features, Joystick Stationary Time and Joystick Stationary Range. When the “Joystick Stationary Time” is reached within the “Joystick Stationary Range”, the drive motors on the chair will shut off. As an example, this will happen while driving in a straight line for extended periods of time with no joystick movement. Once the drive motors turn off, the user will need to turn the chair off and back on to drive.

J. THERMAL ROLL-BACK

Your chair has a thermal roll back circuit. This protects the controller from damage due to overheating. In extreme conditions (such as repetitive hill climbing) the circuit will decrease the power to your motors. This allows the chair to operate at a reduced speed. When the controller cools, the chair will return to normal speed.

K. RECLINE, TILT & LIFT OPERATION

The tilt and lift features on your chair can all be operated using the joystick on your chair. Follow the instructions below to operate:

If the thru drive option was selected,

1. Make sure your controller is on.

2. From the Drive Mode, press the Mode button to enter Power Seating Mode.

3. Move the joystick left or right selecting the power option (recline, tilt, lift, legrests) you wish to control.

4. Move the joystick forward or backward to adjust the selected power option to the desired position.

5. Press the Mode button to return to normal operation or continue moving the joystick left or right to adjust the next power option. Multiple Mode button presses will be necessary if other modules, such as Output, are active.

A. INTRODUCTION

1. Notes–

• Batteries supply the power for your chair. They contain a finite amount of energy and have limits on how long they can store and supply energy. You can charge batteries only a certain number of times

• before they will fail and no longer hold a charge.

• For answers to questions about batteries, consult your Authorized Dealer.

2. Use Proper Batteries:

Your chair operates on two 12 volt batteries.

• They should be Group 22 batteries.

• When you buy a replacement, insist on a

type. Do not use a car or boat battery.

3. Breaking In:

• A battery requires “breaking-in” for the first 6 to 12 charges. It will not accept a full charge for this period.

• It is best to limit the length of your trips until you break the batteries in and you know the range of your chair.

4. Discharged Batteries: Never

NOTE–

Always remove and reattach the negative cable (black cable)

irst.

NOTE–

Batteries should never be left for long periods in the dis-

charged state. Unused or stored batteries should be given a

harge once per month.

5. Make sure to allow enough time to fully charge batteries. . To charge batteries, use the off-board charger by plugging off-

board charger plug into the off-board charger socket.

C. BATTERY CHARGER

A battery charger produces a direct current (DC). When applied to a discharged battery, this reverses the chemical reaction that led to its discharge.

1. Charge Rate. How fast a battery will charge depends on:

• Its electrical capacity; state of charge; electrolyte tempera-

ture, and; internal condition.

• The DC output of the charger. (The charge rate will vary if

the alternating current (AC) supply is higher or lower than 110 volts).

2. Caution — To Avoid Damage to the Charger:

• Never place the charger on top of a battery during charging.

(Gases from the battery can damage the charger and may lead to an explosion or fire).

NOTE 2 -

At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.

These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.

a. Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur

radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF Transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the product is used, exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the product should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the product.

b. Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 20 V/m.
