40-Series Manual, Rev. B
Multi-Function Inputs
The 40-Series introduces a level of seat and vehicle speed limiting/inhibit
modes normally found on only the highest end Rehab systems. Three Multi-
Function Inputs on the powerbase plus the Inhibit on the handcontrol charger
port allow for flexible charger configurations (onboard/offboard), seat actuator
inhibits in one or both directions, and up to four separate speed limits linked
to these inputs.
Possible applications include:
• Inhibit drive and lock out tilt back (but not height or tilt
forward) for an offboard charger.
• Limit the drive speed when the seat is tilted, with a second
limit if the seat is raised.
• Provide an end-of-travel for any seat function.
• Lock out lift when the seat is reclined.
• Add a variable speed limit based on a seat tilt pot or seat
height pot.
Auto-Trim
As the chair is used the gearbox, motor brushes, and tires wear. This adversely
affects the straight-line drive performance and “trim” of the chair. The Auto-
Trim feature continuously monitors the driving behavior of the chair and
corrects the trim automatically to provide consistent straight-line performance
over the lifetime of the chair.
Dynamic Turn Radius Control
As the chair drives faster, its momentum increases dramatically and making
quick sharp corners can upset the balance and steering feel of the chair. The
Curtis proprietary Dynamic Turn Radius Control tempers the aggresssiveness
of the steering as a function of speed to provide an always-in-control feel at
every speed and through every turn.
