2.0 Programming
The control system can be programmed to meet your needs. Programming can be
performed using the R-net programmer software and dongle/programming key.
If you re-program your control system, make sure that you observe any restrictions given
in your wheelchair user manual. Note any changes you make for future reference.
Remark! Programming should only be conducted by healthcare professionals with in-
depth knowledge of PGDT electronic control systems and the CJA R-net. Incorrect
programming could result in an unsafe set-up of a wheelchair for a user. Permobil accepts
no liability for losses of any kind if the programming of the control system is altered from
factory pre-set values.
2.1 Program Settings
It is the wheelchair manufacturer’s or dealer responsibility to program the control system to
suit the vehicle model and ensure safe operation in compliance with relevant legal
requirements over the whole of the operating range. Permobil accepts no liability for
losses of any kind due to failure to, or incorrect programming of the R-net Control System.
Programming should only be conducted by healthcare professionals with in-depth
knowledge of PGDT electronic control systems and of the CJA R-net of Permobil.
Incorrect programming could result in an unsafe setup of a wheelchair for the user.
2.2 Programming Connection
2.3 PC Programming
To utilize the R-net PC Programming Suite the R-net Dongle must first be connected in the
communications system as shown. A USB cable can then be connected between the
Dongle and a PC with the R-Net PC Programmer installed.

3.0 Functionality Tests
Perform the following tests, in order, on each wheelchair before dispatch.
These tests should be conducted in an open space and a restraining device such as
a seat belt should always be used. Permobil accepts no liability for losses of any
kind arising from failure to comply with this condition.
3.1 Joystick and Gaiter
- Check that the joystick is not bent or damaged.
- Check the thin rubber gaiter or boot, around the base of the joystick shaft, for damage or
splitting. Check visually only, do not handle the gaiter.
- Check that the joystick returns to the centre position when you push and release it.
3.2 Operational Test
This test should be carried out on a level floor with at least one meter clear space around
the wheelchair.
- Switch on the control system.
- Check that the battery gauge remains on, or flashes, after one second.
- Push the joystick slowly forwards until you hear the parking brakes operate. The chair
may start to move.
- Immediately release the joystick. You must be able to hear each parking brake operate
within a few seconds.
- Repeat the test a further three times, pushing the joystick slowly backwards, left and
right.
3.3 Test Drive
- Drive the wheelchair and make sure that it operates correctly for all positions of the user
controls.
3.4 Soft-Stop Test
- Drive the wheelchair at full forward speed and switch the control system off.
- The wheelchair must not stop suddenly, but should decelerate to standstill.

4 Programming
4.1 Introduction
This chapter gives an overview of the programmable parameters within the R-Net control
system related to the CJA R-net. The R-net can be programmed using a PGDT R-net PC
Programmer.
Programming should only be conducted by healthcare professionals with in-depth
knowledge of PGDT control systems and in-depth knowledge of the CJA R-net.
Incorrect programming could result in an unsafe set-up of a wheelchair for a user.
Permobil accepts no responsibility for losses of any kind if the programming of the
control system is altered from the factory pre-set values.
4.2 PC Programmer

Pressing the ‘Mode Drive/Axes’ button or switch will
switch between ‘drive mode’ and ‘local axes mode’.
Pressing the ‘Next’ button or switch will in ‘drive mode’
select the next profile and in ‘local axes mode’ the next
axis.
-Profile
Pressing the ‘Profile’ button or switch will in ‘drive mode’
select the next profile or in ‘local axes mode’ switch to
‘drive mode’.
Pressing the ‘Next’ button or switch will in ‘local axes
mode’ select the next axis or in ‘drive mode’ switch to

Document Number: 205314-UK-0 Edition 2 2009-10 (0033-8009a-0100a)
Mode Drive/Axes: Selects alternating ‘Drive Mode’ or ‘Local Axes Mode’.
This parameter is used in combination with the ‘Next’
parameter. See section 4.3.4 for an example. Pressing
the button/switch that is assigned as ‘Next’ will select in
‘drive mode’ the next profile and in ‘local axes mode’ the
next axis. The number of axes is limited to the value set
in the ‘Number of Axes’ parameter.
This is also known as the 2 button control.
Mode Drive/Axes/Profiles: Selects between ‘drive mode’, ‘profile selection’ and
‘local axes mode’. See section 4.3.3 for an example. In
‘drive mode’ the joystick is used to drive the wheelchair,
in ‘profile selection’ with the joystick you can select the
next or previous profile and in ‘local axes mode’ with the
joystick you can drive an axis or selects the next or
previous axis. This is also known as the 1 button control.
Drive Axis: Allows you to control the axes specified in Profile Switch
Drive Axis by depressing the button/switch. Special
precautions are built-in to limit the possibility to
involuntary activation of an axis. It also limits the
maximum duration of the activation.
Running Lights: Allows you to switch on/off the running lights of you
wheelchair.
Hazard Lights Indicator: Allows you to switch on/off the hazard lights indicator of
you wheelchair.
Left light Indicator: Allows you to switch on/off the left light indicator of you
wheelchair.
Right light Indicator: Allows you to switch on/off the right light indicator of you
wheelchair.
