About this m nu l
The Technical Manual gives a general introduction to the R-net Omni. For more
detailed and/or current information refer to the Electronic Manual.
Throughout the manual icons are used to dra the reader’s attention.
The icons used are:
Note - A gener l point for best pr ctice.
C ution - A point of s fety which if ignored could
result in d m ge to the control system or the vehicle.
W rning - A point of s fety which if ignored could
c use injury to the individu l.
PG Drives Technology accept no liability for any losses of any kind if the points
are not follo ed.
How to Use This M nu l
The Manual has t o main sections – Standard and Advanced. The Standard
section covers the more common types of specialty control installations, i.e. the
Omni is the only Input Device in the system; hereas, the Advanced section
covers ho to use the Omni in conjunction ith another Input Device or ith
t o Specialty Input Devices.
To get the most out of this manual it is recommended that you concentrate on
the Standard section and only refer to the Advanced section if you are orking
ith t o IDs, t o SIDs or ish to set up the Omni so the functions can be
navigated audibly.

If you re using the Omni with no other R-net Input
Modules nd just one Speci lty Input Device (SID),
you need only re d this section.
1 Introduction
The Omni is a universal specialty controls interface that accepts signals from
many different types of SIDs and translates them into commands compatible
ith the PG Drives Technology R-net control system.
The follo ing diagrams sho the Omni controls and connections. Full electrical
specifications are given in the Specifications Chapter.
This document must be read and understood by the healthcare professional
ho is installing and configuring the Omni. If you are in any doubt contact PG
Drives Technology. The R-net Operating and Installation guide and the relevant
Input Device installation instructions should also be read.
It is possible to set up control system so th t it is
unsuit ble for some users or even some vehicles. For
ll of the bove re sons it is import nt th t you
cont ct PG Drives Technology if you h ve the
slightest doubts or if you need ny dvice on
progr mming.
Progr mming nd di gnostics should only be
conducted by he lthc re profession ls with in-depth
knowledge of PG Drives Technology electronic control
systems. Incorrect progr mming could result in n
uns fe setup of vehicle for user. PG Drives
Technology ccept no li bility for ny losses of ny
kind if the progr mming of the control system is
ltered from the f ctory preset v lues.
