Permobil Remote Stop System – Wheelchair Zone

Description

Permobil Remote Stop System

Although the client is independent with the majority of power mobility, the remote stop system is used by a caregiver/assistant to stop the power wheelchair in situations where the client may temporarily lose control of the wheelchair. For example, in a crowded environment, near a busy street/intersection, etc. It is typically used with individuals who have hearing/visual impairments, clients with severe startle reflex or seizure disorders, and any other situation where the client’s medical condition causes them to temporarily lack motor control for safe operation of the wheelchair.

Design & Function

The wheelchair can be stopped using the handheld transmitter. The remote stopping device must only be used in order to stop the chair. An appropriate use for it is when training users in operation of the chair. The remote stopping device must not be used as a parking brake. The antenna for Permobil’s remote stopping device is fixed to the back of the wheelchair’s back rest. The antenna must be positioned as high as possible to optimize the range without resulting in risk of injury to the user or damage to the equipment. The remote stopping device has two functions. When the button marked “I” is pressed down, the relay is activated and the wheelchair stops. The relay remains

activated until the system is reset by pressing the “I” button again. The relay is then deactivated and the wheelchair can move. In chairs with R-net electronics, it is also possible to reset the relay by switching the chair off and on again via the main power switch on the control panel. This feature is also standard on chairs with Pilot+ electronics. But in Pilot+ and VR2 chairs it is possible to connect the remote stopping device with constant current, which means the remote stopping device is not affected by the power button. In chairs that have the remote stopping device fitted using the battery connection cables, the receiver always has constant current, which means that the equipment draws power even when the chair is switched off. For this type of connection, it is important for the batteries to always be charged up.

Consists of a 315MHz Radio Frequency (RF) handheld transmitter and an RF receiver mounted on the wheelchair.

Programming the unit

Programming a new button code on channel 1 (Channel 2 is not used)

1. Press down button #1 next to the text “Mode switch” on the receiver box for three seconds. The green diode rapidly begins to flash.

2. Press the “I” button on the transmitter box. The green diode will flash on andthen off again to verify that the button’s function has now been programmed.

NB! The green diode flashes for a maximum of 15 seconds. If no button on the

transmitter has been pressed during this time, the receiver exits programming

mode and the green diode will go off.

Important information on code programming

The receiver can only be programmed with a code from one specific button once. If you attempt to program in a new button code when the button code has already been programmed in, the receiver will exit programming mode regardless of whether it is the same channel or not.

In order to delete all programmed codes: press “Mode switch button” #1 for three seconds. When the diode starts to flash, press the same button again for three seconds. The LED will now flash twice to verify that all codes that had been programmed in have now been deleted.
