Power Wheelchair Alternative Drives4 Simple Rules for Adding Components

(Applies to MKIV, MK5 & MK6i Systems)

1. Only ONE device with an On/Off Switch (display or joystick) is allowed.

2. Only ONE device with a Display (LED lights or full LCD screen) on the chair is allowed.

3. Only Rehab Systems (Expandable) allow additional components or alternative driver controls into the system.

4. All Digital Driver Controls require an interface box (either ASL or Sip-n-Puff/DI) to plug into the controller.

What is it ? An “Electronic Gyroscope”.

When added to the wheelchair controller Improves Tracking Improves Traction

Uses standard 2-pole or 4-pole motors

ELIMINATES need to add expensive GB motors.

G-Trac Module

G-Trac

What is Improved Tracking?

Makes it possible for the power wheelchair user to drive straight on an intended path with fewer veer corrections Regardless of the terrain / obstacles / forces that can cause the chair to turn toward one side or the other.

G-Trac

Who benefits from Improved Tracking? Joystick users with marginal hand control

Those using head controls

Digital / Switch driver control users

Sip-n-puff drivers

Chin control Drivers

Alternative and short throw joystick users

Drivers using latched driving modes for mobility

22

Competitive Advantages v/s GB Motors Less Costly

Uses Reliable Standard 2-Pole & 4 Pole Motors

Easier Trouble-shooting

Able to disable in specific drives for training purposes

Standard ProgramsStandard Programs are “Pre-Set” Performance settings that provide a starting or reference point. These values are based on most common settings and can be further altered through Performance Adjustments.

Performance AdjustmentsPerformance Adjustments are specific value settings that can be changed or altered to provide improved performance of a power wheelchair. These values varies from percentages, ohms, time and on/off settings.

29

CalibrationsCalibrations are parameters that the effect the wheelchair GLOBALLY or the entire system.

Memory CardMemory Card is only seen when the a Professional SD Card is used. This option provides the ability to download previously set-up values and/or save programmed values into the professional memory card.

DiagnosticsDiagnostics provides help in the diagnosis of the power wheelchair through error codes. It also allow visual access to joystick and actuator conditions.

Power SeatingPower Seating allows access to programming the power seating either through the joystick control or not.

TORQUE – How quickly the motors have access to the available power (in Power Level setting).

Power Level – Max. power (current) available to motors / drive wheels.

In MK6 controllers, Torque is a function of Time & Power. •How quickly programmed Power Level is reached.•ALL FOUR quadrants are affected by the programmed torque level.•High = immediate ramping up to programmed power level. Recommended for Slow Speeds, Switch drivers, rough terrains, curbs, significant obstacles.•Low = slower ramping up to programmed power level. Recommended for faster speeds, level terrains, new drivers - even at some slower speeds.•MK6i Torque levels are noted in Ohms.•Small changes to torque have a significant impact.
