CHAPTER 1 - OPERATION
1 INTRODUCTION
The R-net Bluetooth Modules allow a wheelchair user to control a Bluetooth
enabled device through the R-net Control System, either through a Joystick or
via a Specialty Input Device (SID) connected to the R-net Omni. Typical
applications include PC mouse control or operation of a Smart device.
Up to two Mouse Modules and one iDevice Module may be connected into an
R-net Control System, so enabling simultaneous control of three Bluetooth
devices, one being an iOS device. However, the Mouse Modules must be of
different PGDT part numbers –D51111 and D51523; and the iDevice Module
must be D51580. If two Mouse Modules or two iDevice Modules of the same
part number are connected, then the system will not function correctly. If only
one Mouse Module is required, then any of the Mouse Module part numbers
may be used. Here is a summary of the current part numbers:
D51111 –Mouse Module –Can be used with PC or Android Smart devices
D51523 –Mouse Module –Can be used with PC or Android Smart devices
D51580 –iDevice Module –Can only be used with iDevices
Collectively, the above are referred to as Bluetooth Modules.
Operation of the R-net Control System will vary depending on what
Input Devices are connected. Refer to wheelchair manufacturer’s
documentation to establish the correct setup requirements for the
wheelchair.

2 CONTROLS
The default programming relates to the operation of a Joystick Module fitted
with lighting controls. See the following diagram.
Any Input Device can be used to control a Bluetooth Module, as well as
External Switches connected to a Bluetooth Module via SW1 and SW2
Connectors, but programming of the R-net will be required. Refer to Chapter 3
for details.
Operation of the R-net Control System will vary depending on what
Input Devices are connected. Refer to wheelchair manufacturer’s
documentation to establish the correct setup requirements for the
wheelchair.
The Bluetooth Modules do not support scanner functionality.

3 OPERATIONAL RULES
The Bluetooth Modules have the following requirements and restrictions.
The Bluetooth Modules have an operational range of 10m, except for the
iDevice module, which only has an operation range of 5m.
The Bluetooth Modules can retain IDs for up to four Bluetooth Devices.
The Bluetooth Modules and target Bluetooth devices will remain paired unless
they are disconnected by the target device.
Once a Bluetooth Module has successfully been paired with a Bluetooth
device, the module remembers the device’s ID. This means the wheelchair
user can drive outside the operating range, turn off the control system or the
Bluetooth device, and upon returning within range of the switched on device,
the Bluetooth connection will be automatically reinstated.
To pair a Bluetooth Module with multiple devices, see the Pairing section in
Chapter 2 of this manual.

CHAPTER 2 - INSTALLATION
1 SYSTEM INTEGRATION
A Bluetooth Module can be fitted at any point within a R-net Control System.
See following diagrams.
It is possible to set up a Control System so that it is unsuitable for
some users or even some vehicles. For all of the above reasons it is
important that you contact PG Drives Technology if you have the
slightest doubts or if you need any advice on programming.

PG Drives Technology
12
R-net Bluetooth Modules Technical Manual | Chapter 2 - Installation
Programming and diagnostics should only be conducted by
healthcare professionals with in-depth knowledge of PG Drives
Technology electronic Control Systems. Incorrect programming
could result in an unsafe setup of a vehicle for a user. PG Drives
Technology accepts no liability for any losses of any kind if the
programming of the Control System is altered from the factory-
preset values.

3 MOUNTING
3.1 ORIENTATION
A Bluetooth Module should be mounted so that water cannot enter and
remain in the connector recesses. The recommended mounting orientation is
such that the Module is lying flat. The function of a Bluetooth Module is not
sensitive to mounting orientation. The electronics compartment of the
controller has an IPx4 dust and water rating.
3.2 POSITION
A Bluetooth Module must be mounted in a position where it is not exposed to
levels of water, dust, shock or vibration above those expected on a mobility
application. The Bluetooth Modules have been tested in accordance with
IS07176/14 with respect to these conditions. Contact PGDT if you need further
advice.

3.3 CABLES
The cables to a Bluetooth Module must be routed and secured in such a way
as to prevent damage to them, for example by cutting or crushing.
4 CONNECTIONS
The Bluetooth Modules have the following connections:
Bus 1 –R-net Communication Cable Connector
Bus 2 –R-net Control System Cable Connector
SW1 –External Switch Connector
SW2 –External Switch Connector
The Bus connections can only be used to connect a Bluetooth
Module to an R-net Control System using PG Drives Technology
supplied R-net Communication Cables. PG Drives Technology
accepts no liability for any losses of any kind if an incorrect cable is
used.

4.1 ADAPTOR CABLE
An adaptor cable is required to connect a Bluetooth Module to an external
switch with a jack plug. This cable is available through PG, part number
SA80756.
The adaptor cable should be connected to a normally open switch with a
3.5mm mono plug.
5 BLUETOOTH RECEIVER DONGLE
To make a Bluetooth Module operate with a PC you will need a Bluetooth
receiver dongle connected and with drivers installed.
PG Drives Technology recommends use of the following Bluetooth Dongles:
Trust BT-2400
Linksys USBBT100-UK
Belkin F8T012uk1 Version 1000

6 PAIRING
Pairing is the term used to describe the initial set up of a Bluetooth Module
and a Bluetooth device.
Pairing involves carrying out a sequence of steps on the R-net Control System
and the Bluetooth device to be used.
6.1 R-NET CONTROL SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
You will need a Power Module, Bluetooth Module and an input Device e.g.
Joystick Module or Omni with some type of Specialty Input Device (SID) e.g. a
Head-Array. See Section 1 –System Integration.
When a new module is connected to an R-net Control System for the
first time the system will go through an automatic configuration and
ask to be turned Off and On again.
To enable your R-net Control System to use a Bluetooth Module to interact
with a Bluetooth device, Mouse must be set as an Output Mode in the
Configuration menu of the PC programmer. The default Mode for Mouse is
Mode 3.
For the purposes of this manual, the name of Mode 3 has been programmed
to Bluetooth.
The above applies to Bluetooth Module part number D51111. If you are
working with Bluetooth Module part number D51523, then you must ensure

PG Drives Technology
18
R-net Bluetooth Modules Technical Manual | Chapter 2 - Installation
that Mouse 2 has been set as an Output Mode for the system. The default
Mode for Mouse 2 is Mode 4.
To enable your R-net Control System to use a Bluetooth Module to interact
with a Bluetooth iOS device, iDevice must be set as an Output Mode in the
Configuration menu of the PC programmer. The default Mode for iDevice
Module is Mode 5.
6.2 DISCOVERING BLUETOOTH DEVICES
Once the Control System has been re-configured enter Bluetooth Mode.
Bluetooth Mode is represented on a Mono JSM or CJSM by the Bluetooth
Mode Screen being displayed on the LCD.

PG Drives Technology
R-net Bluetooth Modules Technical Manual | Chapter 2 - Installation

If you are working with more than one Bluetooth Module, then this process
must be carried out with only one Module connected at a time.
The Bluetooth Module must be put into Discovery Mode. Use the following
procedure:
Operate your Input Device in the forward direction and hold until it
beeps. This will take approximately 10 seconds, then release.
Operate your Input Device in the reverse direction and hold until it
beeps. This will take approximately 10 seconds, then release. (A short
beep may be heard as the directions are changed).
The Bluetooth Module is now in Discovery Mode and ready to be
paired with a Bluetooth device.
The Discovery process will only be required once per Bluetooth
device.
6.3 PC PAIRING
If at any time during this process a message such as below appears, ignore it
by clicking on the X.
