S-DRIVE - PROGRAMMING PG DRIVES TECHNOLOGY
SK76745/10
1 Introduction
This chapter gives an overview of the programmable parameters within the S-Drive Controller. The S-Drive can be programmed
with a SP1a handheld programmer or a PG Drives Technology PC Programmer.
This chapter does not give details of how to make adjustments, for these details please refer to the relevant documentation for
the programmer you are using.
Programming should only be conducted by healthcare professionals with in-depth knowledge of
PGDT controllers. Incorrect programming could result in an unsafe set-up of a scooter for a user.
PGDT accept no responsibility for losses of any kind if the programming of the control system is
altered from the factory pre-set values.
1.1 SP1a Programmer
The SP1a handheld programmer is intended to give dealers and therapists access to the programmable parameters which can
be used to adjust the scooter to an individual user. These parameters are:
Acceleration Deceleration
Forward Speed Reverse Speed
Throttle Invert Sleep Timer
Read System Log Read Timer
The SP1a can also be used to Read Trip Log and Read Timer. For details of how to use the SP1a with the S-Drive, refer to the SP1a
Programming and Diagnostics guide, SK73762.
1.2 PC Programmer
There are two versions of the PC Programmer – one for dealers and therapist which gives the same access level as the SP1a
handheld programmer; and one for scooter OEMs which gives access to all S-Drive Controller parameters. These are known as
PCPa and PCPb respectively.
For details of how to use these software packages with the S-Drive, refer to the documentation supplied with the software.
