Switch-it DUAL PRO DP-A User manual

Product Description
Dual Pro is a fully adjustable proportional head
array with "On Board Programming". This gives
the user the ability to operate their wheelchair
using the full range of the wheelchair’s speed
and acceleration parameters. The Dual Pro
contains a combination of proximity and force
sensor technologies. This technology allows the
end user to customize the head array in the
eld. Traditional switched head arrays do not
allow this level of customization. For set up
instructions please see the set up guides for 3 or
4 direction proportional located on our website:
www.switchit-inc.com.
On Board Programming
Each pad has a force and a proximity (crawl)
sensitivity setting, and both settings can be
adjusted individually through the "On Board
Programmer". To congure the dierent pads
follow these easy steps.
1. Press the “Set” & "Force" buttons at the
same time for 1 second.
2. This will allow you to select the pad you
would like to congure as indicated by the light
corresponding with each pad.
3. Press the set button to scroll through and
select the pads you would like to congure.
4. You can set the "Force" by pressing the
“Force” button. More Force lights means
more force is required to reach full speed. This is
indicated through the series of lights on the
right side of the keypad.
.
5. You can set the Proximity setting by pressing
the “Crawl” button. More "Crawl" lights means
more speed when within range of the proximity
sensor. This is indicated through the series of
lights on the right side of the keypad.
Note: Once the maximum sensitivity is reached,
the lights will reset to the left indicating you
have reached the minimum setting. The
sensitivity will cycle through the lights until the
desired setting is reached. Once the sensitivity
of both switches is set as desired, scroll through
the pads until no pad indicators are lit.
External Switch Options
The Dual Pro has three inputs for external
switches: mode, reverse, and an assignable user
switch. These are located on the bottom of the
pad.

Programming Interface Examples
1. 40% speed within proximity (crawl) and light
force for full speed.
2. Light Force on pad for full speed, no
proximity (crawl) speed.
3. Fully proximity switched head array.
4. 60% speed within Proximity (crawl) switch
and the reach full speed with medium force.
Detailed Example
The Dual Pro will send a signal to the chair as a
percentage of full speed. For instance, if the
chair is set to 100% forward speed and the
proximity (crawl) switch is set to 20% then the
chair will only move at 20% of full speed in the
proximity (crawl) mode. When pressure is
applied to the force sensor, the percentage will
increase until the maximum rate is met. If the
force is set to 80%, the maximum speed will be
80% of the chair settings. Be aware that if the
chair is set to 50% maximum speed, the
percentages will drop accordingly. A 20%
setting of the switch in the Dual Pro will result in
10% of maximum speed(20% sent by head array
to a chair setting of 50% will equate to 10% of
maximum drive).
It is recommended that the chair be set at 100%
and the percentages be adjusted through the
Dual Pro prole functions.
