MEDICAL DEVICE INTERFERENCE

GyroSet Link contains an IEEE 802.15.4 Standard compliant 2.4 GHz RF transceiver

that emits electromagnetic radiation. This electromagnetic radiation may interfere

with pacemakers, debrillators, or other medical devices. Maintain a safe distance of

separation between your medical device and the GyroSet Link. Consult your physician

and medical device manufacturer for information specic to your medical device. If

you suspect your GyroSet Link is interfering with your pacemaker, debrillator, or any

other medical device, stop using GyroSet Link.

Now Technologies Ltd. hereby declares that this wireless device is in compliance with

the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of the RED Directive and

Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU, as applicable.

WARRANTY

Now Technologies Ltd. provides one year’s full warranty on the products. This warran-

ty covers any defects in materials or workmanship, with the exceptions stated below:

Faults resulting from the installation by an unqualied person. Any problem that is

caused by abuse, misuse, extreme water damage or extreme weather are not covered.

Also, consequential and incidental damages are not recoverable under this warranty.

MEDICAL DEVICE INTERFERENCE

GyroSet Glory contains components and radios that emit electromagnetic radiation.

This electromagnetic radiation – although unlikely - may interfere with pacemakers,

debrillators, or other medical devices. Maintain a safe distance of separation be-

tween your medical device and the GyroSet Glory. Consult your physician and medical

device manufacturer for information specic to your medical device. If you suspect

your GyroSet Glory is interfering with your pacemaker, debrillator, or any other medi-

cal device, stop using GyroSet Glory.

GyroSet Link installation instructions

GyroSet Link enables GyroSet Glory users to use their headset on a PGDT Omni or IOM

equipped wheelchair as a specialty input device (SID). The Omni is a universal specialty

controls interface that accepts signals from many dierent types of SIDs and translates

them into commands compatible with the PG Drives Technology R-net control system.

Before proceeding please make sure that one of the compatible devices are already

installed on the chair and working properly. For more information on how to set-

up the Omni please follow the instructions of R-NET OMNI TECHNICAL MANUAL

SK78813/7. It is possible to set up a control system so that it is unsuitable for some

users or even some vehicles. Although this guide contains recommended settings for

Omni for all of the above reasons it is important that you contact PG Drives Technol-

ogy if you have the slightest doubt or if you need any advice on programming.

Mounting

The GyroSet Link enclosure has two M4 sized screw threads on the back of the device

that is designed specically for mounting. As every vehicle and user is unique there

is no general mounting bracket available.

Dimensions and position of mounting points

Please make sure that the physical mounting meets the following criteria:

• Mounting should be removable as calibration of the sensors may be required from

time to time.

• Mounting shall be solid to minimise vibration eects between the chair and the

GyroSet Link unit. Vibrations and orientation of the chair are processed by the onboard

inertial sensors and it is mandatory that these measurements represent the movement

of the chair and not the movement of the mounting bracket on the chair.

• Non elastic mounting material is highly recommended, please avoid use of velcro or

any other temporary tapes or cable ties.

• To take advantage of the IP34 protection of the casing, cables must face the ground

to prevent rain from falling into the connector:

• When there is no intention to use the wired interface please leave the connector’s

silicon cap in place.

• Placement shall avoid the closeness of any magnetic materials or large iron parts as

they aect the orientation initialisation process and prevent the sensors to nd the

true magnetic north.

• Magnetic materials such as active magnets shall be avoided, magnetic noise shall

be less than 10μT.

• Electromagnetic components such as motors, relays, actuators must be at a

distance where magnetic noise is less than 10μT.

• Ferromagnetic components such as wheelchair frame must be at a distance

where their hard iron eect is minimal, usually more than 50mm depending on

the composition of the frame.

• Placement shall allow the GyroSet Link a clear radio connection with the GyroSet

Glory headset, that practically means:

• A clear line of sight between the GyroSet Link and the GyroSet Glory headset

must be provided.

• Devices that may produce radio interference, such as Smartphones, Pagers, Bluetooth

devices must be kept out of the way and placed in a distance from the GyroSet Link.

• Large metal surfaces that may deect radio signal must be placed relative to the

GyroSet Link so that they don’t block the signal.

• Placement is also important when wired connection is used, the distance between

the headset and the GyroSet Link must be less than the length of the standard cable

provided. (1.2m)

• Mounting should in no way cause the connectors to tense or slip out. (In case of

cables slipping out the GyroSet Link will automatically initiate radio connection.)

• The connector interface for the headset data cable must be accessible to allow

the caretaker to plug in or out the cable.

• GyroSet Link should be placed as such that the Status LED (logo) is visible for at least

the caretaker, preferably for the user as well.

• GyroSet Link’s mode selection touch interface (touch button with the logo) must be

accessible for the caretaker.

• Devices that may produce high capacity charges, such as ionisators must be at a

safe distance from the touch interface to avoid accidental activation.

• The audible feedback of the GyroSet Link is of high importance for the user, placement

should avoid blocking of the speaker.

installed in a vertical position.

Wiring

Dimensions and position of mounting points

The GyroSet Link provides a proportional analogue signal compatible with PGDT

Omni. The interface is the standard D-type connector, tted with “detect link” and

“fth switch” functions. As there is no internal power source or auxiliary power input

connector on the GyroSet Link the power for operation is provided by the Omni.

The limitation of Omni’s power output is 12V and 100mA distributed between the two SID

connectors and the GyroSet Link consumes about 60-90mA typically when turned on.

Please make sure that there is no other device connected to the Omni that would

surpass the power limitation and prevent the system from operation.

For the above reason if the Omni is congured with programmable parameter “Sleep

12V” to cut the power on SID connectors when turned o, GyroSet Link is going to

be turned o as well. GyroSet Link doesn’t require a permanent power supply. For

power saving reasons “Sleep 12V” parameter is advised to be set.

On the GyroSet Link there are two connector interfaces. One of which is an integrated cable

with D-type connector on it to control the Omni (referred to as Omni cable) and another oval

shaped interface to connect the GyroSet Glory cable into (referred to as Data cable).

(on the left the oval shaped data connector)

Omni Port-1 D-type connector

The preferred SID port if there is only one input device connected to the Omni is Port

1 as shown on the picture below. In case of PGDT IOM there is only one INPUT port

where the D-type connector can be connected:
