If you are powering your Mercury with a wheelchair battery, install the Mercury wheelchair power cable
(purchased separately from ATI) and make the power connections from the port on the wheelchair to the
Mercury AC Adapter/Battery Charger port.
To use the wheelchair joystick as an input device with your Mercury, connect the larger 9-pin connector of
the Wheelchair Joystick Cable (purchased separately from ATI) to your wheelchair ECU connector. Connect
the smaller 8-pin connector to the Mercury wheelchair/joystick port.
When your joystick is in switch/communication mode (see the documentation for your wheelchair
electronics), the joystick will move the mouse on the screen. If you want to add a switch to click the mouse
button, connect a single switch to the Switch 1-2 jack on the Mercury or to the auxiliary switch input on the
wheelchair ECU.
The normal setting for Joystick is Move Mouse. Moving the
joystick will start moving the mouse pointer slowly or
quickly, depending on the acceleration setting, and speed
up to the Speed Setting. A slower Acceleration Speed
allows finer accuracy when moving short distances. Faster
Speed and Acceleration allow quicker movement over
longer distances (or across the display).
How do I set up Mercury to work with my wheelchair
electronics?
