The standard 3 proximity switch head array has a monojack for a mechanical switch for mode. An additional proximity switch can be added for mode, or two additional proximity switches can be added for dedicated mode and dedicated reverse.
Our Remote Stop Switch allows an attendant to stop a chair being driven by the user via an RF remote from up to 100 feet away (depending on the environment). We also offer the Remote Commander for driving a chair via an RF switch drive control remote for certain chair configurations.
Similar to our Drive Control Scanners, but dedicated strictly to seat functions, our Seat Function Scanners come in single and dual options. The Single Scanner allows seat activation with one switch of any type as the seat function is displayed on a scrolling display, with an adjustable time rate, while a dual scanner allows a second switch to control the scrolling.
The Flex Array Package is a proximity sensor system specifically designed for clients that may have changing conditions and require different switch access locations as their condition changes. The Package typically includes 4 sensors, each on a heavy duty quick disconnect, a headrest, and two additional extension cables. The sensors can be placed in the headrest, adductor/abductor pads, or any other desired switch site, as needed. The quick disconnects allow each sensor to be removed from the system for transfers or other reasons.
The Tough Joystick is a heavy duty switched joystick (with 4 or 8 directions) and built in mode switch. It can also be used in conjunction with other switched controls if the user can only activate in one or two directions. Ideal for someone with high tone that can put their equipment to the test.
The Switch It Proportional Head Control is a 3 direction proportional joystick integrated into a headpad that can be toggled between forward/left/right and reverse/left/right set-up either through mode/reverse switch or a quick tap of the backpad, depending on the chair electronics.
The Switch It JSC is a full direction joystick in a very small housing for alternative mounting solutions such as for chin control, tray, or foot control.
A combination of Sip and Puff Head Array helps eliminate the issues sometimes associated with pure Sip and Puff drive control. By not having to differentiate between a hard and soft sip or puff for four directions, the user can do any level of sip or puff for forward and reverse and use a slight roll of the head for left and right, allowing much better control and veering. We also offer our Opti-Stop fiber optic switch attached to the straw as a standard feature as an essential safety component of a Sip and Puff system. The chair will automatically stop if the switch and straw come away from the driver’s mouth.
