VII. OPERATION
FLIGHT CONTROLLER
The electronic controller is what you use to operate your power chair. It takes the battery voltage and sends it to the
appropriate system. The electronic controller enables you to move the power chair, as well as monitor battery charge,
electronic controller functions, and the condition of your electrical system. The FLIGHT is part of a modular electronic
controller system. The system consists of more than one module. Typically, the FLIGHT is mounted to one of the armrests.
See figure 28. It is connected to a power module located on the power base through the controller communications cable.
The FLIGHT may be used to control some optional systems, such as lights.
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 braking. 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 manufacturer, an authorized
representative of the manufacturer, or a trained service technician should program the controller.
The FLIGHT consists of:
1. joystick
2. keypad
3. off-board charger/programming socket
4. controller connector
5. controller power module
Joystick
The joystick controls the direction and speed of your
power chair. When you move the joystick from the
neutral (center) position, the electromagnetic brakes
release and allow your power chair to move. The far-
ther you push the joystick from its neutral position, the
faster your power chair moves. When you release the
joystick and allow it to return to the neutral position,
you engage the electromagnetic brakes. This causes
your power chair to decelerate and come to a com-
plete stop.
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.
Keypad
The keypad is located in front of the joystick. It con-
tains keys necessary to operate your power chair. See
figure 29.
