Design & Function
Intended Use
The i-Drive Control Harness is a secure platform to attach control devices in
positions that accommodate users limited in their ability to use traditional joysticks
or switch combinations. Smaller switches and joysticks with various input force
requirements can be congured to assist users with conditions ranging from
paralysis to paraplegia, allowing them the freedom to control devices and mobility
platforms with nearly any facial surface.
Features
The i-Drive Control Harness:
▪ Is lightweight and discreet;
▪ Is compatible with the mo-Vis Micro and Multi joysticks, as well as
Stealth's IDPMP joysticks;
▪ Is height-, depth-, and angle-adjustable through the use of tracks, swivel
mounts, and links;
▪ Can be tted easily with Twister switches and ber optics using Loc-Line
as an additional accessory; and,
▪ Is supplied with a Stealth Positioning body securement belt, which helps
to ensure the IDCH remains secure and stable.
Mounting
The i-Drive Control Harness is designed for joysticks to be easily interchangeable
and has additional access points for the use of switches and/or ber optics, if
required.
▪ mo-Vis Multi and Stealth's IDPMP joysticks require the same mounting
hardware.
▪ mo-Vis Micro joystick is mounted by removing the joystick mount used
by the Multi and IDPMP joysticks and adding Stealth's joystick strap.
▪ Track versatility and Loc-Line switch options equate to nearly unlimited
positioning possibilities for the user.

Installation Instructions
WARNING The i-Drive Control Harness should be installed
ONLY by a qualied service technician.
Installation Plan
Set up an installation plan before starting the installation. Based on the user's
needs, this plan should specify:
• Which joystick is necessary for the client to operate.
• What height the links should be adjusted to.
• At what angles the links need to be placed.
Joystick Installation
To install the mo-Vis Micro, Multi, or Stealth IDPMP joysticks, follow the

and the angle at which it is mounted for the client.
• Wrap the belt around the back of the client and secure it to the front of the IDCH.
CAUTION Any connection must always be secured with all delivered
screws. Use only the screws provided in the package.
