Handheld transmitter
Design & Function
General
The equipment consists of a handheld transmitter and a receiver.
The remote stopping device has been developed for remote control of various
functions and operates on a frequency of 315MHz (US version) and 433.92MHz
(EU version). The signal is frequency-modulated and the information transmitted
is coded. Its range under normal circumstances and with a clear field is up to
30m (100ft). The presence of other transmitters using the same frequency may
cause interference in reception if the other transmitter is closer to your receiver
than your transmitter. Note that only an approved radio signal (approx. 0.3s) is
required to activate the relay in the receiver.
When stopping for a lengthy period, such as when the wheelchair is parked,
the wheelchair must always be switched off at the control panel. The remote
stopping device must only be used when the wheelchair is stopped temporarily.

Cables for battery connection.
Design & Function
The wheelchair can be stopped using the handheld transmitter. The remote stop-
ping 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.

Receiver box
Design & Function
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 and
then 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 regard-
less 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.

Operation
Remote Stopping Device
Beginning operation
The remote device's receiver receives power from the chair and is switched off
and on using the chair's power switch on the panel.
Stopping/locking the chair
Press the button on the remote control marked "I" for approximately 0.5s.
Unlocking the chair
Unlock the chair by pressing the button marked "I" on the remote control for
approximately 0.5s. On chairs with R-net or Pilot+ electronics the main power
switch on the chair's control panel can be switched off and then on again to
unlock the chair.
On chairs with Pilot+ and VR2 electronics the remote device may be fitted with
constant current, in which case it is not possible to unlock the chair using the
main power switch on the chair's control panel. See page 11 for more informa-
tion on this type of connection.
Chairs with the remote stopping device fitted using the battery connection cables
always have constant current and cannot be reset using the main power switch.
Always check that the remote stopping device is functioning before use.
Maintenance
Cleaning
The parts of the remote device can be cleaned using a damp cloth. Soapy water
may be used for any stubborn marks on the surface. Dry the metal parts with a
towel after cleaning.
Never hose down, as the electronics may be damaged.
