2.0 Specialty Input Devices, (SIDs)
2.1 Installing the SID onto a Powerchair
Because of the wide variety of SIDs available and the
constantly changing specicaons, it is not praccal to provide
a denive list of SID classicaons in this manual.
You, your health care professional and wheelchair provider
will determine the exact classicaon of the chosen type of
SID. Further details on each SID type are given in the following
secons.
In addion to the SID for controlling the powerchair funcons,
the OMNI2 has facility for the connecon of an oponal, user
operated On/O switch. The funcon of this switch is idencal
to the On/O buon on the OMNI2’s front panel.
2.2 Connecon of SID, (Fig. 2.0).
For single SID operaon, always connect the SID to Port 1.
Port 1 comprises:
• A stereo 3.5mm / 1/8” jack for the User Switch.
• A 9-way input connector with a TRACE standard pin-out.
• A Sip and Pu input.
Make sure that all SID connecons to the OMNI2 are securely
mated.
Fig. 2.0
SID Port 1
9-Way D-Type
2.3 User Switch
For a truly fail-safe system a normally-closed User Switch is
ed. This ensures that if the switch becomes accidentally
disconnected the powerchair will default to a stop condion.
As a further level of safety, the OMNI2 can also detect if the
User Switch jack is not properly located. If it is detected that
the jack is not secure, then drive will be prevented.
WARNING:
Sunrise Medical recommend that, whenever possible, a
normally-open switch should be used. If a normally-open
switch is used, the responsibility for that decision lies
with the health care professional. Sunrise Medical accept
no liability for any losses resulng from the use of a non-
normally-closed User Switch.
Because a disconnected User Switch means there is no
emergency-stop funcon, Sunrise Medical recommend that
Switch Detect is always set to O. Sunrise Medical will accept
no liability for any losses resulng from any other seng of
this parameter.
2.4 D-Type Connector
Ensure the connector is correctly inserted and if there are
locking screws ensure they are fully ghtened.
Some SIDs will have a ‘detect-link’ ed. This link enables
the OMNI2 to detect if the D-type connector has become
disconnected.
To enhance the system safety and to ease diagnoscs, it is
recommended that this feature be used if the SID has such a
link. If this feature is used and the OMNI2 detects the SID is
disconnected, a screen as in Fig. 2.1 below will appear.

2.5 Sip and Pu Input
Ensure the tube from the Sip and Pu Device is of the correct
diameter and that it is securely routed.
2.6 Examples of Types of SIDs used with OMNI2
The OMNI2 is compable with the following types of SID.
1. Joysck and User Switch
2. Five Switch and User Switch
3. Three-Axis Proporonal and User Switch
4. Three-Axis Switch and User Switch
5. Sip and Pu Device and User Switch
6. Single Switch scanner
The User Switch provides a means of changing Proles and
Modes, an emergency-stop funcon and a means of pung
the OMNI2 to sleep. It is also possible to use most of the SID
types without a User Switch.
WARNING:
Sunrise Medical recommend that, whenever possible, a
normally-open switch should be used. If a normally-open
switch is used, the responsibility for that decision lies
with the health care professional. Sunrise Medical accept
no liability for any losses resulng from the use of a non-
normally-closed User Switch.

2.12 Sip and Pu Calibraon
If a new Sip and Pu SID is ed, or re-calibraon is required
then your health care professional or servicing agent will
perform the following calibraon procedure to match the
OMNI2 to your operang capabilies.
Soft Sip (Fig. 2.7)
So Sip will be highlighted rst. You must now make a series of
so sips. Aer each sip, a live readout of the current pressure
will be displayed on the screen in the form of a line within
the 0 - 100 scale. Repeated so sips will produce a ‘band’ of
values. During this process it may be benecial for you to look
away from the screen. This prevents ‘false’ values where you
may be trying to aain earlier levels. Once you are sased
that you can produce a so sip consistently within this band,
your health care professional or servicing agent will save that
range and move on to highlight Hard Sip.
Fig. 2.7
Hard Sip (Fig. 2.8)
You must now make a series of hard sips to produce a new
Hard Sip band. Ideally there should be as much dierence
as possible between the So Sip and Hard Sip values. To aid
the OMNI2’s dierenaon between these pressures, your
health care professional or servicing agent should move
the Threshold Marker, (shown in Fig. 2.9), to the middle of
the gap between the hardest so command and the soest
hard command. Once a suitable threshold is set, your health
care professional or servicing agent will save that range and
highlight So Pu.
Fig. 2.8
Soft & Hard Puffs
Now repeat the sequence of instrucons for both so and
hard pus including the Threshold seng. Once calibraon
has been performed, your health care professional or servicing
agent will save your sengs.
Please note that all values must be greater than the Deadband
seng, for calibraon to be performed successfully.

2.13 Single Switch Scanner
A single User Switch is connected to the OMNI2 via one of the
3.5mm / 1/8” jack sockets.
If the Omni is congured to operate with a Single Switch
Scanner Type SID, the scan rate can be programmed to suit.
Refer to your health care professional or servicing agent for
programming this parameter.
2.14 User Switch
With the excepon of scanner operaon the User Switch
provides the following funconality.
A short operaon while not driving will select the dierent
wheelchair funcons. See secon 2.15.
A short operaon while driving or making a seang adjustment
will stop all movement, i.e. an emergency-stop funcon.
A long operaon while not driving will put the OMNI2 to sleep.
To wake the OMNI2, a short operaon of the User Switch is
required.
The me of a long operaon is preset to 1 second, but it is
programmable from 0.25 to 5.0 Seconds. Refer to your health
care professional or servicing agent for programming this
parameter.
2.15 Accessing Wheelchair Funcons
The OMNI2 can be programmed to access all the available
powerchair funcons in two ways – by Menu or by Sequence.
Your OMNI2 control is programmed to “Menu” by default.
The Menu method is whereby an acvaon of the User Switch
while in Drive Mode will bring up an on-screen User Menu as
shown in Fig. 2.9. SID direcon commands are then used to
navigate the menu and select funcons.
Should you wish to change this funcon to “Sequence”, please
consult your health care professional or servicing agent.
The Sequence method is where successive acvaons of
the User Switch will sequenally access all the wheelchair
funcons.
WARNING:
It is not advisable to programme the menu opons, ‘speed
adjust’ or ‘prole select’ if the Sequence method is being
used with scanning operaon. Refer to your health care
professional or servicing agent.

3.0 OMNI2 Operang Principles
3.1 OMNI2 Driving Characteriscs
The OMNI2 has been programmed to suit the SID, the
powerchair’s drive performance has been programmed to suit
your needs. The powerchair’s speeds, acceleraon rates and
braking rates can be adjusted to meet exact requirements.
Refer to your health care professional or servicing agent.
Before test driving the system ensure there is sucient space
in which to drive the wheelchair, and that you understand how
to stop the wheelchair quickly.
Firstly, refer to the operang instrucons for the type of SID in
use. Ensure that you fully understand each SID command.
It is advisable to inially select the lowest speed seng and
allow yourself to become familiar with the controls before
increasing the seng.
The OMNI2 also contains a training funcon, whereby any of
the SID’s direconal commands can be disabled. For example,
the le and right commands could be disabled, in order to
allow you to become familiar with driving forwards. Refer to
your health care professional or servicing agent to ensure
these values are comfortable and safe.
WARNING:
Sunrise Medical accepts no liability for any losses resulng
from unsuitable values.
3.2 General Operang Principles
When the OMNI2 is powered-up or awoken, then a screen
such as in Fig. 3.0 will appear.
Power-Up can be via the On/O buon on the Display Secon
or via a switch connected into the External On/O Switch Jack;
while Wake-Up can be via the User Switch.

A single User Switch operaon toggles the direcon, while a
double operaon of the User Switch will enter the User Menu
or sequence the other funcons.
This method is selected by seng Fwd / Rev Auto Toggle to
O.
There is programmability associated with the ming of the
double operaons.
Refer to your health care professional or servicing agent.
3.6.2 Auto Toggle Change
A direcon change will occur if a Forward/Reverse command
is operated and released. A further operaon of the Forward/
Reverse command will result in drive in the newly-selected
direcon.
This sequence must be completed within a given me period,
typically 2 seconds. However, the parameter Auto Toggle Time,
can be adjusted to give a dierent me period. Refer to your
health care professional or servicing agent.
If the sequence is not completed within the me period, the
selected direcon will automacally revert to its previous
state.
The User Switch is used to enter the User Menu.
This method is selected by seng Fwd/Rev Auto Toggle to On.
Refer to your health care professional or servicing agent.

3.6.3 Switch Medium Change
A direcon change occurs at the instant the User Switch is
operated, provided the parameter Double Click has been set
to 0. If the User Switch is released and a Forward/Reverse
command is entered, then drive will commence in the newly-
selected direcon.
If the User Switch is not released and is held for a me period
set by the programmable parameter, Switch Medium, then this
is interpreted as a convenonal User Switch operaon, i.e. the
User Menu will be entered. There will be no direcon toggle in
this instance.
As with the other two methods, if the User Switch is operated
for a period greater than the me set by the programmable
parameter, Switch Long, then the OMNI2 will go to sleep.
3.6.4 Seang Control
Standard control of seang movement is via the Forward/
Reverse command, while Le and Right commands will
select a dierent seat axis for movement. The direcon of
movement is selected in the same way as that for changing
drive direcon.
As is oen required in head array situaons, it is possible to
re-program the OMNI2 to control the seang movement in
alternave ways.
Refer to your health care professional or servicing agent.
3.6.5 Associated Programming
There are several standard R-net programming features that
may be useful when using this SID type. These include Joysck
Throw, Joysck Orientaon and Joysck Deadband.
Refer to your health care professional or servicing agent.
For latched operaon using this SID type, refer to secon
Latched Operaon.
It is possible to set up the OMNI2 so that the funcons can be
navigated audibly. This can be useful if the user cannot easily
always see the OMNI2’s screen. Refer to secon Using the
Omni by Sound in the Advanced Secon of this manual.

Driving is via a tube connected to the OMNI2’s pneumac
input and the User Switch is used to enter the User Menu.
For this type of SID, as well as a standard user switch, there is
the opon of a pneumac user switch.
Contact your servicing agent.
There are four sip and pu commands, each of which relates
to a drive direcon. The table Fig. 3.3, shows the relaonships.
In addion, the OMNI2 can be programmed so that two
pneumac operaons, made within the period set by the
parameter Double Click Time, will mimic a short operaon of
the User Switch in Standby.
Refer to your health care professional or servicing agent.
The standard R-net programming parameter Joysck
Orientaon may also be useful when using this type of SID.
Refer to your health care professional or servicing agent.
Standard control of seang movements is via a Hard Pu or
Sip and a So Pu or Sip will select a dierent seat axis for
movement.
If required, it is possible to re-program the OMNI2 to control
the seang movement in alternave ways.
Refer to your health care professional or servicing agent.
For latched operaon using this SID type, refer to Latched
Operaon.

3.8.2 Momentary Operaon
In momentary operaon, connuously depressing the User
Switch whilst one of the ‘arrow’ icons is shown will cause
the powerchair to drive in that direcon unl the switch is
released. If the User Switch is depressed when the ‘M’ icon is
shown, the OMNI2 will enter the User Menu.
3.8.3 Latched Operaon
In latched operaon, a single depression of the User Switch
whilst one of the ‘arrow’ icons is shown will cause the
powerchair to drive in that direcon for a period of me set
by the program. Refer to your health care professional or
servicing agent.
To simplify control of the chair while driving in latched
forwards, the scan sequence will display:
Forward, Right, Reverse, Le, Reverse, Right, Reverse, Le,
Reverse, Right, Forward.
