1) IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR YOUR SAFETY
The information in this manual is a supplement to the user manual issued by Invacare. Do not operate this
equipment without reading, understanding and following the proper instructions and manuals, otherwise injury
or damage may result.
2) INTRODUCTION
The DX-REMG80I Remote is a primary DX Remote containing a battery gauge, magnetic key and a horn. Up
to five individual Drive Programs or profiles are available. The DX-REMG80I also features two jack sockets
allowing the connection of two external switches to duplicate the functions of the On/Off and Drive Program
select buttons.
3) HANDLING AND TRANSPORTATION
To avoid any unnecessary damage to your control system whilst driving, avoid hitting obstacles with the
controller or joystick. This also applies when transporting your chair. Avoid dropping the control system & be
wary of possible damage to cables. (i.e. Being Trapped).
DX-REMG80I Remote fitting, testing and programming must be carried out by professionals
of the health care field or persons fully conversant with this process and the driver’s
capabilities. The control system should be demonstrated to the user when the chair is
supplied. Incorrect settings could cause injury to the driver or bystanders, or damage to the
wheelchair or surrounding property.
4) DRIVING THE WHEELCHAIR
The G80I Keypad
Once you are seated in your wheelchair. Switch on DX-REMG80I by gently pressing and
releasing the on/off switch located on top of the controller at the front. The system status
light will light up to show power on. (If the status light flashes rapidly it indicates that the
joystick knob was not in its central position when the controller was switched on. Simply
allow the knob to return to the central position. If this condition persists for more than 5
seconds a latched fault will occur and the 7-segment display will begin to flash. If this
happens simply turn the remote on and off to clear the fault.
Drive Programs are selected using the Drive program selection switch. The selected drive
program or profile is displayed in the 7-Segment display. Drive programs or profiles may be
setup to change speed and/or select remote joysticks actuators, or lights. Appendix A
explains the operation of lighting and actuator functions.
Move the joystick a little in the direction you wish to travel. The further you move the joystick
knob, from the central rest position, the faster the chair will move. Small gentle movements
of the joystick give fine control.
