5 — PROGRAMMABLE PARAMETERS: Joystick Parameters
JOYSTICK MENU
PARAMETER RANGE DESCRIPTION
Perimeter Deadband 0–50 % Sets how close to the stop (gate) the joystick must be moved before it
is considered full on. With a setting 0%, the joystick must move all the
way to the stop.
Center Deadband 5–20 % Sets how far from center the joystick must move to begin chair
movement and release the brakes. With the minimum setting of 5%,
only a small movement is required to start the chair moving.
Hysteresis 5–10 % Sets how far the throttle (joystick) must be moved past the Center
Deadband before the brakes are released. Brakes are reengaged at
the Center Deadband. This keeps the brakes from chattering on and
off near the deadband.
Creep Speed 0–20 % Sets the initial drive speed when the joystick is rotated out of the
neutral deadband.
Rotate Deadband 90–100 % Allows easier counter-rotation by specifying the amount of steer
command above which the speed command is clamped to zero.
Typically this is set at 93–98%.
Quick Stop Pause 0.0–1.0 sec Sets a pause before going into reverse after a quick stop. This gives
the operator time to return the joystick to center without moving
backwards.
Start Delay 0.0–1.0 sec Delays movement after the throttle is first moved off center.
Calibrate On/Off Turn this On to start the throttle autocalibration procedure. This
parameter must be set back to Off after the procedure is complete.
To run the procedure for the user handcontrol joystick:
Turn on the system with the user handcontrol, put its joystick in
the center neutral position, and set the Calibrate parameter On.
The horn will beep once. Then slowly rotate the joystick either CCW
or CW, at full deflection, through two complete rotations. At this point,
the horn will again beep once. Release the joystick and reset the
calibration parameter to Off.
If there is a faulty reading during this procedure, the horn will
beep 4 times and a Joystick Error will be displayed.
To run the procedure for the attendant control joystick:
Turn on the system with the attendant control; do not turn on
the user handcontrol. Follow the same procedure as for calibrating
the user handcontrol joystick. When calibrating the attendant control
joystick, the beeps are replaced with flashing green LEDs in the chair
icon.
