Chapter 1 – Operation
1 INTRODUCTION
The operation of the R-net wheelchair control system is simple and easy to understand. The control system
incorporates state-of-the-art electronics, the result of many years of research, to provide you with ease of use
and a very high level of safety. In common with other electronic equipment, correct handling and operation of
the unit will ensure maximum reliability.
Please read this chapter carefully - it will help you to keep your wheelchair reliable and safe.
2 GENERAL
An R-net control system comprises a minimum of two modules - Joystick Module and Power Module.
Because of the modular design, the depth of the control system can be greatly increased. The following
diagram shows the basic set-up.
2.1 Handling
Avoid knocking your control system and especially the joystick. Be careful not to strike obstacles with the
control system or joystick when you drive. Never drop the control system.
When transporting your wheelchair, make sure that the control system is well protected. Avoid damage to
cables.
2.2 Operating conditions
Your control system uses industrial-grade components throughout, ensuring reliable operation in a wide
range of conditions. However, you will improve the reliability of the control system if you keep exposure to
extreme conditions to a minimum.
Do not expose your control system or its components to damp for prolonged periods. If the control system
becomes contaminated with food or drink clean it off as soon as possible.
2.3 Cleaning
Clean the control system and the joystick with a cloth dampened with diluted detergent. Be careful when
cleaning the joystick and screen.
Never use abrasive or spirit-based cleaners.

4 CONTROLS
The R-net control system has two versions of Joystick Module – with and without lighting control. Most of the
controls are common to both however, the lighting buttons are only included on the Joystick Module with
lighting control. Each of the controls is explained within this section.
4.1 Joystick
The primary function of the joystick is to control the speed and direction of the wheelchair. The further you
push the joystick from the centre position the faster the wheelchair will move. When you release the joystick,
the brakes are automatically applied.
If the wheelchair is fitted with actuators, the joystick can also be used to move and select actuators, refer to
section 5.5 for more details.
