VII. OPERATION
DX CONTROLLER
The Dynamic DX electronic control system is a modular system. The electronics necessary to operate the power
chair are contained in several modules located on different parts of your power chair. The Dynamic DX system
consists of the following components:
! master remote (Europa)
! communications cable(s)
! power module
! motor wiring harnesses
! battery wiring harnesses
! actuator lighting module (for optional systems)
The master remote is located typically on the end of an armrest. The other components are located inside the
power base.
The controller supplied with your power chair has been pre-programmed to meet your needs. The program is set
using either a personal computer with software provided by the controller manufacturer or with a hand-held
programmer, also provided by the controller manufacturer.
WARNING! The controller program can affect speed, acceleration, deceleration, and brak-
ing. If it is programmed incorrectly or outside of the safe limits as determined by your
healthcare professional, it can create a dangerous situation. Only the power chair manu-
facturer, an authorized representative of the manufacturer, or a trained service techni-
cian should program the controller.
Europa Master Remote
The Europa master remote consists of the
following (see figure 30):
1. joystick
2. keypad
3. controller communications connector
4. off-board charger/programming socket
Joystick
The joystick controls the direction and speed of
the power chair. When you move the joystick
from the neutral (center) position, the electro-
magnetic brake will release and allow the power
chair to move. The farther you push the joystick
from its neutral position, the faster your power
chair will move. When you release the joystick
and allow it to return to the neutral position, you engage the electromagnetic brake. This helps the power chair
decelerate and come to a complete stop. You can also use the joystick control power actuators.
WARNING! If your power chair begins to move in an unexpected manner, immediately release the
joystick. Unless the joystick is damaged, this action should stop your power chair.
