EXPLANATION OF PARTS
FUSION 165 DISPLAY, PROGRAMMER AND ATTENDANT CONTROL
The ASL 165 FUSION Display, Programmer and Attendant Control has multiple features. It can be used to
personalize the FUSION to the specic patients’ needs. It can also be used as a display, so the patient will
know what they are controlling, such as: Bluetooth, Next Function, Next Prole, and On/O of the Head
Array. In addition, the 165 FUSION can be used as an Attendant Control which works in conjunction with,
or can take over, the FUSION Drive Control.

MAIN PROGRAMMING
FUSION 165 DISPLAY, PROGRAMMER AND ATTENDANT CONTROL
Tapping “Prop” on the pad will change it
from Proportional to Digital by each pad
or direction.
In this example, the Left and Center Pad
are set to Proportional and the Right Pad
is set to Digital.
PAD TYPE
When the Proportional Programmed Pad is
held for 2 seconds a calibration screen will
appear. You will be guided to set up the
Minimum and Maximum force required to
gain proportionality.
When you push on the pad the green color
is a real time guide for the pressure that
a person is pushing on the pad. This can
be set by each direction. The Minimum
(in yellow) sets the force required to
initiate the proportional movement. The
Maximum (in red) sets the force to reach
100% of the programmed speed.
CALIBRATION MIN
CALIBRATION MAX
Set Minimum Speed: This setting will
allow each pad on the FUSION to change
the percentage of Digital to start the
movement of the chair.
The factory setting in each pad is set to
20%. This will start the initial movement of
the chair for the rst 20% of the speed to be
Digital. Pressing into the pads will make the
chair move proportionally.
The selections are 15, 20,
25, 30, 35, 40 and OFF.
MINIMUM SPEEDPAD DIRECTION
This allows the driving direction to change
by pad. Touching the direction will scroll
clockwise starting with the factory set
direction.
The back pad will move from Forward,
Right, O, Left and then back to
Forward. This is helpful for a patient
that needs the back pad for a rest.
You can turn o the back pad, change the
right switch to be forward, and move the
right direction to another location such
as, a hand or knee.
The Initial Programming Screen is
activated by pressing the top and
bottom buttons simultaneously for 2
seconds. When Pad Settings is selected
a new screen will appear.

the chair faster. Moving your
finger around the circle, moves
the chair in the corresponding
direction.

on the screen, the Attendant function
works as an assist. Meaning, it works in
conjunction with the FUSION if a person
using the FUSION needs a little help
while they are driving. You can help them
‘Course Correct’ while they are moving.
If you want to stop the chair from moving, tap
the picture of the FUSION on the screen and
the FUSION will stop movement of the chair.
When the picture of the FUSION has a circle with
a line through it, the Attendant Control will still
function, but the FUSION will not. This way the
Attendant can manually control driving.
