Description:
Chin control consists of a joystick and 2 buttons. The joystick is fitted with a large soft ball as standard. This ensures good and injury-free contact with the chin. The two buttons are located to the side of the joystick (one on the left, one on the right) so that you can easily reach them with your chin.
A monitor displaying all the necessary information, such as the current speed level, battery status and settings, is located in front of one of the armrests. The side is freely selectable.
Functionality and operation:
The joystick can be moved smoothly in all directions and is used to control the driving mode, make selections in the menu and change the existing seat settings.
One of the two buttons located next to the joystick has the function of switching the wheelchair on and off, while the person driving can click through the menu with the other button.
If you are in driving mode and press the menu button, you first switch to a higher driving level. Once the highest level has been reached, the wheelchair menu appears. This is where the lighting and seat system settings are located. One more click of the button and the person driving returns to the 1st driving level. All functions and settings are shown on the display on the armrest.
The chin control can not only be swiveled independently by the driver from above over the head to below and back again, the joystick can also be swiveled closer to the chin in the lowered position. This gives you the option of moving the joystick to the optimum position for you.
The movement of the complete control system is controlled by 2 buttons integrated into the sides of the headrest. If you hold down one button, the control first moves from above your head downwards and then closer to you. With the opposite button, the movement is exactly the opposite, first the control moves forwards and then upwards. If you release a button, the movement stops in the exact position that the control is in at that moment.
The two buttons are mounted so far apart that you can lean your head against the back of the headrest in any position. The control can be positioned even if the button on the joystick has been used to switch off normal control.
The drive
As the joystick can be moved smoothly in any direction, the wheelchair can be controlled precisely. The acceleration and speed depend entirely on the movement of the joystick. This means that the driver can drive slowly even at the highest speed by moving the joystick just a little. The final speed of the selected speed level is only reached when the joystick is moved as far as it will go.
It can be driven indoors without any problems. Outside, it is a wobbly affair depending on the floor covering. Due to the design of the controls, the person driving can rest their head on the soft ball on the joystick while driving. This not only saves strength, but also prevents the familiar "stop-and-go" of the wheelchair on uneven ground.
