HANDLING AND OPERATION - CONTROLLERS
Your wheelchair is fitted with a programmable electronic controller that is very simple to operate. There
are a selection of options, PILOT INTEGRAL, PILOT+ and the DYNAMIC DL. Whichever is selected will
be most appropriate for your individual needs. The appearance varies, the function and driving
characteristics are basically similar. The PILOT INTEGRAL is fitted as standard.
The following instructions cover all types and available controller options.
PILOT INTEGRAL
Before you sit in the chair, make sure it is not switched ON. If it is switched ON the battery gauge indicator
will be illuminated. Once you are sitting comfortably, press the on/off switch. The joystick controls the
speed and direction of the wheelchair. The further you push the joystick from the centre position the faster
the wheelchair will move. When you release the joystick the brakes are applied automatically. DO NOT use
the on/off switch to stop the chair unless there is an emergency. If the emergency stop is applied, the
chair will slow down and stop very quickly. This is called ‘SOFT STOP’. If the controller detects a
malfunction, either in its circuits, or in the wheelchair’s electrical system, it may
halt the chair depending on the severity of the problem.
The 10 segment battery gauge display will indicate the fault type by rapidly flashing the number of bars to
indicate the possible area of the fault. See the Fault Diagnostics section relevant to the type of controller.
The speed control sets the maximum speed of the wheelchair, turn clockwise to increase, anti-clockwise
to decrease.
You may charge the batteries through the charge socket at the front of the control unit. Refer to section
on batteries and battery charging. This socket may also be used for re-programming the controller should
this be necessary (consult your dealer).
The controller units are sophisticated electronic components, and must be handled with care. Always
clean your controller by wiping with a damp cloth only if it becomes contaminated with food or drink. Make
sure the controller is securely fixed to your wheelchair.
TruCharge Battery Gauge
This is a 10 segment illuminated display which indicates if the controller is turned on and also gives the
status of the battery, the controller and the wheelchair electrical system.
Red, yellow and green bars lit: Battery charged; controller and electrical system OK.
Red and yellow bars lit: Charge battery if possible; controller and electrical system OK.
Red bars only lit or slow flash: Charge battery as soon as possible, controller and electrical system OK.
Rapid flash of bars: Indicates a fault in the controller or electrical system. See below for fault diagnostics.
Ripple up and down of bars: Joystick displaced at turn on.
