11.0 Speciality Controls

11.1 Proximity head array

WARNINGS
• The sensors used in this product will operate if moisture
of any substance that is electrically conductive is present
in sufficient quantities.
• Electro magnetic interference from electrical power lines
and certain types of phones will cause the sensors to
activate.
• These sensors are capacitive in nature and any material
that is conductive will activate them. These sensors
are electronic sensors and generate an electronic field
which can be affected by liquids and radio frequency
interference.
• If the user is caught in the rain or some type of liquid is
spilled on the sensor pad, the chair has a great potential
to act erratically. Try to activate the stop sensor or shut
the chair down if possible.
• Avoid use under high power lines and around cell phones
which will interfere with the electronic field generated by
the sensor.
• A warning must be conveyed to the wheelchair operator
that the chair could come to a sudden stop or act in
an erratic manner due to liquids or radio frequency
interference (RFI).
• Most electronic equipment is influenced by (RFI). Caution
should be exercised with regard to the use of portable
communication equipment in the area around where
the sensors are located in the head array. If RFI causes
erratic behaviour, shut the wheelchair off immediately.
Leave off while transmission is in progress.

11.2 Driving with the head array (Fig 11.1)

The head array uses 3 zero touch sensors for driving, one in
each head pad.
The sensor in the centre of the headpiece controls forward
and reverse.
Sensors in the right and left headpieces are for right and left
directional motion respectively.
The fourth switch is your mode switch and it toggles the head
array between forward and reverse and between driving the
wheelchair and operating any ancillary devices, (such as
powered seating or augmentative communications systems).
Fig. 11.1
Switching modes
A variety of mode switches are available. These can be
divided into three types: internal, hardware mounted and
external.
• Internal: mode in left pad or right pad
• Hardware mounted: beam switch
• External: fibre optic, button or mode jack 2. All mode
switches perform the same tasks.
• Single click of the mode switch will toggle between
forward and reverse.
• A double click of the mode switch will change the
operating mode of the system. e.g. standby to drive to
actuator etc.
For further details refer to the user manual supplied with your
module or contact your Sunrise Medical authorised dealer.
