Chapter 1 - Operation
Introduction
General
The Intelligent Control System (ICS) controls the Powered Seat Functions and provides Drive Inhibit
information to the Driving System.
System Hardware
The Intelligent Control System consists of the following components. Please note, not all components
are used in all configurations.
ICS Master Module
Switchbox
Smart Actuator
General Module
SoftPot Position Sensor
Standard Actuator
Connector Block
ICS Bus Cable

Pushbutton Switchbox
Controls and Feedback
Controls and Feedback
There are two styles of ICS Switchbox, Pushbutton or Toggle, each offers the same functionality
Toggle Switchbox
Switchbox Layout
The functionality of the buttons in the switchbox is programmable. Different switchbox layouts are
available for each seating system. Samples of these layouts are below, more information on selecting a
layout is found in the Choosing a Switchbox Layout section of the Programming chapter.

Icons
The ICS uses Icons to represent Seat Functions and System Features. Each Icon used in the ICS is
explained below. Please note that not all icons are used in every seat configuration.
Seat Elevator Power Recline Power Anterior Tilt

‘A’ Power Tilt
(Posterior Only) Standing Sequence
‘B’

Switchbox LEDs
In addition to the button symbols, the switchbox provides feedback through its built-in LEDs. Each
button and function has its own LED.The information presented by the LEDs is related to available seat
function, active seat function inhibit, active drive speed limit, active drive inhibit and system errors.
There are three light states that the LED above the switch can have, Off, Solid or Flashing.A solid LED
communicates drive-related information. A flashing LED communicates actuator-related information.
There are three colors that the LED above the switch can have, Green, Yellow or Red. A green LED
communicates“ok”,“ready” or“go” (i.e.full speed).A yellow LED communicates some kind of restriction.
(i.e. half speed). A red LED communicates some kind of stop or error. (i.e. drive inhibit).
The states and the colors of the LEDs give information about the system and the actual situation.Below
are some examples:
Seat Function Icon is “OFF”
This signifies that the seat function is not currently active.The selection of
the Left/Right seat functions is toggled with the Swap Switch.
Seat Function Icon is “GREEN” (solid)
This signifies that the seat function is responsive, activating the switch
below the icon will move the seat function. This also shows that this seat
function is not limiting the Drive Speed of the chair.
Seat Function Icon is “YELLOW” (solid)
This signifies that the seat function is responsive, activating the switch
below the icon will move the seat function. But, the chair Drive Speed is
Limited due to the position of this function.
Seat Function Icon is “RED” (solid)
This signifies that the seat function is responsive, activating the switch
below the icon will move the seat function. But, the chair Drive is Inhibited
due to the position of this actuator.
Seat Function Icon is “FLASHING GREEN”
This indication signifies a special or extended feature. i.e. Memory Mode.
Seat Function Icon is “FLASHING YELLOW”
The Seat Function is Inhibited in one direction, due to a safety limit.
This signifies that the seat function is responsive, however, activating the
switch below the icon will only move the seat function in the “safe” direction.
Seat Function Icon is “FLASHING RED”
This signifies that there has been an error detected with the Seat Function.
Since there are several error conditions, activating the switch below the
icon may not operate the seat function. It is recommended to note the
seat position and what occurred just before the RED Flash began, as this
information can aid your service representative.

Switchbox LED Colors and their meanings
Basic Seat Operation through
Switchbox
Controlling Seat Functions
The Seating System Power Functions can
be controlled via the ICS Switchbox. The ICS
Switchbox has eight switches (pushbuttons or
toggles) and eight LEDs as seen below.
Depending on the Switchbox Layout that has
been selected and the mode that the Switchbox
is currently in, the functionality of each switch can
be different.
When using the ICS Switchbox, it is important to
note the Position, Color and “Light Type” (Solid/
Flashing) of the LEDs that illuminate the Icons on
the Switchbox.
These different characteristics communicate the
current switchbox mode and which seat function a
particular switch will control.
