7.0 Using the Power Base Joysticks

7.5 Using the Invacare MKV- MPJ Joystick

The MK5-MPJ joystick has four independent programmable drive selection modes: Drive 1, Drive 2, Drive 3, & Drive 4. The individual Drive modes can be selected by lifting and releasing the toggle switch. The selected Drive mode appears in the LCD display on the joystick. Each time the toggle switch is lifted and released it will cycle through to the next Drive mode. (i.e.; To select Drive 1 mode, the toggle switch is lifted up once and released. To select Drive 2, the toggle switch is lifted again and released, to select Drive 3... etc...) The controller will return back to Drive 1 after Drive 4. To operate the power positioning system (ECU/Recline) through the joystick, a separate emergency stop (reset) switch is typically installed. To access ECU1, tap the joystick to the left 2 times (left/left); if ECU2 is required tap the joystick to the left 2 times and hold (left/left hold). (For complete instructions on the set-up and operation of the power poistioning system through the joystick, please refer to the Invacare Owners Manual). To operate the power positioning functions, the joystick can be moved in the forward, reverse, left and right directions. The functions may be programmed* into the joystick depending on the type of seating system and the users preferred set-up (eg. forward= tilt, reverse= recline, etc...) The emergency reset switch must be opened in order to return to the drive selection mode.

*Please Note: An Invacare Programmer is required in order to program/assign the specific motor functions to the joystick. Please refer to the Invacare Manual for complete programming instructions.
