1 INTRODUCTION
The LEPMIS PlayStation3 Switch Access Pod (PS3-SAP) replaces the standard controller of the
SONY™ Playstation3 (or other games consoles by adding a cross-converter device) to enable
gamers of all physical ability to use accessible switches and joysticks to enjoy a huge choice of
videogames plus subscription film & music and social media.
Your current accessible switches and analogue joysticks can be used with PS3-SAP to play
videogames –but you will need a joystick adaptor to match PS3-SAP analogue port specification
(described in this manual). LEPMIS or a suitably qualified technician can produce the adaptor, or
LEPMIS can provide a suitable joystick from our wide range of uniquely sensitive and responsive
types.
LEPMIS can perform a home clinical assessment that will identify the best way to access your
abilities (Assessment may be dependent on the location of the user). We can manufacture custom
switch set-ups and joystick units to meet your particular needs. For more information, contact
LEPMIS (contact details at the end of this document).
2 LIMITATIONS OF USE
PS3-SAP is classed as an “accessory to a Medical Device” for the purposes of the European
Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC 14th June 1993, as it compensates for an injury or
handicap.
The PS3-SAP case resists the ingress of dust, moisture and interference from radio signals, but
there are no particular features to prevent water entering the unit. Do not soak the unit or attempt to
“wash” it in any way. Wipe sparingly with a barely damp cloth and mild detergent if really
necessary.
The unit is intended to be used in a home or school environment, and due to its lack of full
environmental protection, must not be subjected to exposure to the elements.
The unit is rated for continuous operation but you are advised to consult the games console
documentation on the length of time the unit should be used or left ON.
Operating temperature range is as per your game console operating instructions.
3 WARNINGS
No unauthorised access or dismantling of the unit allowed! Tampering will terminate your warranty.
Compentent technicians requiring internal access to PS3-SAP must apply to the manufacturers –
LEPMIS, in writing stating their aim and seeking authorisation to proceed.
Videogaming is enjoyable and can be addictive. It is not recommended that you play computer
games for extended periods of time without breaks.
USE YOUR GAMES CONSOLE SENSIBLY !

4 DESCRIPTION OF UNIT
PS3-SAP replicates all functions of the SONY PS3 ‘SixAxis’ controller through seventeen 3.5mm
stereo jack sockets which accept user switches, and two 9 way “D” type sockets for the users
joysticks. A USB socket accepts a USB cable from the games console for power and to pass the
users control to the games console. To help setting up the game, the PS button is replicated on
the top of the box, and the Start and Select buttons can be found on the back of the boxnext to
their switch sockets. On the underside of the unit is a small hole for the controller RESET
function.
On the front face of the unit are the sockets for Up, Down, Left, Right direction button inputs,
and the Triangle, Cross, Box, Circle symbol button inputs.
At the left end of the unit are the Left and Right Joystick analogue ports. NOTE these do not use
the same pin configuration as some common 9 way “D” type game joysticks (see the Analogue
Port Specification in this manual). Also on the left of the box are sockets for the L3, R3, and L2
shoulder button inputs.
On the back of the unit are the sockets for L1, R1 shoulder button inputs, plus Start, Select and
PS.
On the right hand side of the unit is the socket for R2 and the games console USB cable.
LEPMIS recommends the use of STEREO 3.5mm jack plugs on the user’s switches. MONO jack
plugs are perfectly acceptable and will almost certainly be what you find attached to your
commercially available switches. Stereo jack plugs however, when wired up as detailed later, will
preserve the electrical separation of the outer metal ring of the sockets from the electronic
circuits inside. This is a reliability feature and helps to protect the electronic circuits from the
effects of ESD, (Electro-Static Discharge), which is the “shock” you sometimes get when walking
across a carpet and then touching a metal or conductive surface.

5OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
For PlayStation3: Connect PS3-SAP to your PS3 using the USB charging cable supplied with
your PS3.
For Xbox360, Xbox One, PlayStation4: Connect a wired standard controller to your console via
the relevant cross-converter device as recommended by LEPMIS. Once the standard controller is
working normally, also connect PS3-SAP to the cross-converter.
Note: PS3-SAP will only work so long as the USB cable is plugged in, as the unit does not
have an internal battery. The PS3-SAP ‘PS’ logo will glow blue when receiving power from your
console.
Press the ‘PS’ logo button to establish a link between PS3-SAP and your console.
Connect your analogue joystick (may require an adaptor to match PS3-SAP Analogue Port
Specification) and your accessible switches.
Please note that the action of un/plugging will cause a momentary switch closure, interacting with
any game you may be playing. Pressing Up & Down together will result in NO switch action.
Similarly with Left & Right. An
6 PROBLEM SOLVING & WARRANTY
Check your games console is providing power to PS3-SAP (logo glows on PS3-SAP) –if not try
a different USB cable, or check the suspect cable works with a standard controller.
Check your games console sees PS3-SAP as controller 1 (some games only respond to
controller 1)
Always check that your switches or joystick are working correctly before suspecting this unit, as
the wires on many commercial switches are known problem areas.
PS3-SAP is covered by LEPMIS for mechanical failure repair costs for 12 months from the
delivery date (See the terms and conditions on our website).
AVOID getting fluids or foreign material into the sockets as they will either corrode or become
jammed up, and stop working. Failure of the sockets in this way is not covered by the warranty.
If you require further help, please contact LEPMIS with fault details and include unit Type, Date
of Manufacture and Serial Number as described on the labelling of the unit.
7 CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
When necessary, the PS3-SAP case should be cleaned with a barely damp cloth, using only a
tiny amount of household detergent. DO NOTUSE abrasive products or solvents.

8TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
Size: 18cm wide x12.7cm deep x4cm high
Weight: 0.375 kg
Operating Voltage: 5vdc (from your games console)
User Switch Jack plug: 3.5mm Mono or Stereo (preferred), normally open
Recommended switch contact resistance : 100 ohms or less.
Maximum switch contact resistance: 390 ohms.
A wide range of suitable switches is available from www.inclusive.co.uk. LEPMIS recommend you
specify a switch designed for repeated use, that is waterproof, that has a reinforced cable, and
(ideally) has a stereo jack plug. If in doubt, we can help to choose the right switch for you.
Alternatively, a competant technician can wire a plug onto a switch for you, using the following
instructions.
NOTE: The electrical connections for the user switches and joysticks are isolated from the
electronic circuits within the PS3-SAP and the games console.
Stereo Plug:
Connect your switch between the “TIP” and “RING” terminals of the connector.
Connect the screen of your cable to the BODY contact, ( if cable has a screen).
NOTE: 0vwill be connected to the RING and the +Ve feed will be connected to the TIP. The
action of the switch is to bring the TIP down to 0v. +Ve feed output impedance 2k7 ohms.
Mono Plug:
Connect your switch between the “TIP” and “BODY” terminals of the connector.
NOTE: 0vwill be connected to the BODY of the plug when the plug is mated. As before +Ve feed
will be connected to the TIP and the action of the switch is to bring the TIP down to 0v. All switch
inputs have a common 0vconnection.

9ENHANCED GAMING
Through PS3-SAP you can enjoy gaming in ways not possible with a standard controller:
The many switches that control a complexgame can be shared by a group of friends or family
members to make gaming sociable and fun for all players.
By using a cross-converter adaptor (contact LEPMIS for details) PS3-SAP can work in tandem
with a standard controller. This way an able bodied friend with the standard controller can assist
with some of the game controls –so that both can contribute and enjoy a game together.
LEPMIS have a wide range of accessories to help gamers of all abilities get maximum enjoyment
through PS3-SAP. Awkward switch combinations can be achieved by pressing just one switch.
An auto repeat switch can eliminate repeated presses. This can allow the user to, say,
continuously fire automatically whilst concentrating on guiding the character around the screen.
