TM Modular powerchair control system DX PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE
TM 1 Introduction to the DX System The DX-system is a modular powerchair control system. This modularity makes it possible to design a powerchair that can meet the requirements of any user requirements that can range from simple drive-only control to full environmental control. Just add additional modules when requirements grow.
2 A typical DX powerchair setup A standard powerchair installation with the DX System consists of the following electrical parts: The Batteries The Motors P The Parkbrakes A DX Power Module A DX Master Remote The DX BUS cables Optional: Actuator or Lighting Modules DX Power Module P PB1 24V Battery DX Master Remote M1 M2 P To Battery Charger DX BUS PB2 To HHP or Wizard Do not install, maintain, or operate this equipment before you have read and understood the installation manuals for the product
TM 2.1 DX BUS Module connection layout DX Modules normally have one or two DX BUS sockets for system interconnections. Smaller DX Modules can have a fixed cable that ends in a DX BUS plug, instead of DX sockets. The optimum connection layout is dependent on the type of modules that are present in the DX System. Low-current modules can be connected in series. This provides a low-cost and simple solution.
3 The DX Power Module The DX Power Module converts the speed and direction signals generated by a DX Remote into high current outputs. These outputs drive the motors and activate the parkbrakes. The Power Module must be connected to: • • • • The DX BUS The battery The motors The parkbrakes M/PB-2 Battery DX BUS M/PB-1 The Power Module is fully programmable for a wide range of powerchair types and user needs. 3.
TM 4 The DX Master Remote 4.1 Introduction The Master Remote is the central building block in a DX System. Every DX System must have one, and only one Master Remote. The DX Master Remote • • • • Acts as the primary user interface o Has the system on/off switch o Reads user commands (joystick movement, button pushes, switches) o Displays the system status to the user via the System Status LED Controls the status of the DX System Stores and controls up to six Drive Profiles.

5 DX Modules 5.1 Introduction Including the Power Module and the Master Remote, a DX System can contain up to 16 DX compatible modules depending on the application.
TM 5.2 Secondary Remotes A Secondary Remote is a secondary user input device, for example an attendant joystick. A Secondary Remote… • Converts user input (the joystick or the switches, depending on the type of Secondary Remote) to speed and direction signals • Sends the speed and direction signals to the Master Remote via the DX BUS • Can control non-driving functions (for example actuators or environmental controls), if the Master Remote in use supports joystick control of these functions.
Secondary Remote Applications DX-5SW (RJM-type) 5 Switch Module Five switch inputs plus extra 'Emergency Stop' input Accepts input devices terminated in a '9-pin D' connector Analog Latch mode gives infinitely adjustable cruise speed 3 momentary modes, 4 latched modes DX-SNP (RJM-type) Sip and Puff Module Recognises soft and hard sips and puffs Sip and puff pressures programmable Analog Latch mode gives infinitely adjustable cruise speed 3 momentary modes, 4 latched modes 5.
