7.0 The VR2 Hand Control Series
7.1 On/Off button:
The On/Off button applies power to the control system
electronics, which in turn supply power to the wheelchair’s
motors.
CAUTION!
Do not use the on/off button to stop the wheelchair unless there
is an emergency. (If you do you may shorten the life of the
wheelchair drive components).
7.2 Battery gauge:
The battery gauge shows you that the wheelchair is switched
on. It also indicates the status of the wheelchair.
NOTE: Refer to Section 8.
7.3 Locking/unlocking the wheelchair:
The VR2 control system can be locked to prevent unauthorised
use. The locking method is via a sequence of key presses and
joystick movements as detailed below.
To lock the wheelchair:
• While the control system is switched on, depress and hold
the On/Off button.
• After 1 second the control system will beep. Now release
the On/Off button.
• Deflect the joystick forwards until the control system
beeps.
• Deflect the joystick in reverse until the control system
beeps.
• Release the joystick, there will be a long beep.
• The wheelchair is now locked.
To unlock the wheelchair:
• Use the On/Off button to switch the control system on. The
maximum speed/profile indicator will be rippling up and
down.
• Deflect the joystick forwards until the control system
beeps.
• Deflect the joystick in reverse until the control system
beeps.
• Release the joystick, there will be a long beep.
• The wheelchair is now unlocked.
7.4 Operating the control joystick:
When engaging the main On/Off button, allow a few seconds
prior to moving the joystick. This allows the system to self check.
If you move the joystick too soon, the battery level indicator
display will not illuminate until the joystick is released.
If it is off null for more than 5 seconds a system error will
occur.
Whilst this is not harmful to your wheelchair, you will need to
switch off and then back on to clear the system.
NOTE: This is a safety feature to prevent unintended
movement.
Proportional control summary:
1. To steer, move the joystick in the direction you wish to go.
2. The further you move the joystick, the faster you will go.
3. New users should use slower speeds until they feel confident
when driving the wheelchair.
4. The brakes will automatically stop the wheelchair from any
speed when the joystick is released.
WARNING!
It is important that the chair is stationary when changing
direction from reverse to forward.
Always switch off before getting into or out of the chair.
7.5 Maximum speed/prole indicator:
This is a gauge which shows the maximum speed setting for
the wheelchair or if the control system is programmed for drive
profile operation, the selected drive profile. This gauge also
indicates if the speed of the wheelchair is being limited or if the
control system is locked.
7.6 Speed/Prole decrease button:
This button decreases the maximum speed setting or, if the
control system is programmed for drive profile operation,
selects a lower drive profile.
7.7 Speed/Prole increase button:
This button increases the maximum speed setting or, if the
control system is programmed for drive profile operation,
selects a higher drive profile.
WARNING!
To avoid unexpected or unintentional movement of the
wheelchair and to conserve battery power, it is recommended
that the control system is switched Off when drive or seating
adjustments are not being used.
