Remotely control per infrared and radio<br />

Environmental control is the remote control of devices.<br />

With a transmitter, receivers are controlled by radio or infrared. Receivers can be<br />

the TV, a telephone with infrared receiver or an emergency call system.<br />

A bed control provided with a receiver or a correspondingly equipped switch can<br />

be controlled, too.<br />

Environmental control enables people with motor impairments to operate devices<br />

and systems in their environment adapted to their possibilities and thereby<br />

significantly improve the quality of life.<br />

ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL<br />

Remotely control electronic and electrical devices


Did you know?…<br />

… that we are dealing with assistive technologies for over 30 years?<br />

At the beginning of the 1980s, the idea was born with the<br />

Mediencomputer MC2 of providing independent communication,<br />

information and environmental control to the most severely physically<br />

disabled people with almost complete paralysis.<br />

With a remaining motor response (for example, blowing or sucking),<br />

they could now do things that are everyday normality for healthy<br />

people. What was then a revolutionary idea, today is an integral part<br />

of the affected people’s lives.<br />

Today, environmental control devices and special controls have become much smaller, more<br />

powerful and more intelligent.<br />

Our experienced team of electronics engineers and software developers is highly motivated and<br />

works on new ideas for the future for disabled people every day. Modern electronics productions,<br />

expert advice as well as the integrated repair department ensure high quality and good service of<br />

our products.<br />

RemoBox<br />

for Easywave<br />

RemoBox<br />

Infrared controllable radio<br />

switching system<br />

RemoBox<br />

Infrared controllable radio switching<br />

system<br />

The RemoBox is an infrared radio converter. With<br />

an infrared remote control the entire spectrum of<br />

ELDAT Easywave radio receivers can be used.<br />

The corresponding function of the RemoBox is<br />

taught once into the Easywave radio receiver. You<br />

can select between 2-button operation (on / off), 1-<br />

button operation (alternating on / off) or a timer<br />

function (7 minutes on) at the receiver.<br />

In case that you only need a maximum of four<br />

radio receivers, the RemoBox can be switched to<br />

the IRS compatibility mode. A contact socket<br />

located directly on the RemoBox with normally<br />

closed and normally open contacts can also be<br />

controlled directly by infrared (nurse call etc.).<br />

The RemoBox can use simple PC software to<br />

generate all infrared codes for teaching into the<br />

appropriate environment control unit. Thus you do<br />

not need any additional teach-in remote control.<br />

RemoSet<br />

Thanks to the infrared remote control, neither the<br />

handset has to be held nor have any buttons on<br />

the telephone mobile handset to be pushed.<br />

10 | www.csslabs.de<br />

The telephone mobile handset with<br />

integrated infrared control<br />

The infrared control system RemoSet, integrated<br />

into the telephone mobile handset, enables<br />

complete operation of the keypad and the handsfree<br />

system by remote control. Main application is<br />

the operation by people with severe and most<br />

severe physical disabilities. This is usually done by<br />

means of an environmental control device. Thanks<br />

to the infrared remote control, neither a handset<br />

has to be held nor have any buttons on the<br />

telephone mobile handset to be pushed.<br />

The infrared code used is standard, which can be<br />

used by any commercially available adaptive<br />

environmental control device.<br />

RemoSet is the adaptation of a commercially<br />

available cordless telephone mobile handset, into<br />

which a complete IR control module has been<br />

integrated. This allows the entire keypad of the<br />

mobile handset to be controlled by an infrared<br />

remote control.<br />

Due to the fact that the complete infrared control<br />

system has been integrated into the mobile<br />

handset, it is not only ergonomically and very easy<br />

to handle for the wheelchair user, but is also an<br />

easy-to-use tool in any day-to-day care. It can still<br />

be used like a normal cordless phone.<br />

The RemoSet mobile handset permits hands-free<br />

talking in brilliant sound quality. The sound quality<br />

is especially noticeable when you are more than<br />

1.50 m away from the device and the person you<br />

are talking to can still understand very well.<br />

The telephone mobile handset equipped with<br />

RemoSet is supplied including a base station with<br />

charging tray for connection to the public telephone<br />

network or a point-to-point connection. Due to the<br />

extensive accessories for DECT phones, the<br />

cordless telephone can also be used as ISDNcompatible<br />

or even VOIP telephone (internet<br />

telephony). By purchasing additional DECT / GAPT<br />

compatible mobile handsets, the base station can<br />

easily be upgraded to a cordless telephone<br />

system.<br />

BIF8 plus<br />

Infrared control for<br />

electrically adjustable beds<br />

BIF8 plus<br />

Pilot Touch<br />

Per Infrarot steuerbares<br />

Funkschaltsystem<br />

Different device addresses: If several beds with a<br />

BIF8plus are used in a room, it must be ensured<br />

that each bed responds only to the corresponding<br />

remote control. For this reason, the reception<br />

address can be set.<br />

The infrared bed control BIF8plus allows wireless<br />

operating of an electrically adjustable bed by<br />

means of an infrared remote control or an<br />

environmental control unit. The BIF8plus is plugged<br />

into the motor control of the bed instead of or<br />

parallel to the wired manual control. BIF8plus<br />

provides up to eleven different switching functions<br />

for this purpose.<br />

Characteristics:<br />

•Freely selectable multiple / single function<br />

assignment<br />

•Safety circuit so that safe operation is ensured<br />

even with environmental control devices.<br />

•Individually configured for most electrically<br />

adjustable beds available.<br />

Safety circuit:<br />

Automatic shutdown of a continuous actuation: A<br />

permanent function by continuously pressing a<br />

function key is interrupted after a predefined time.<br />

Monitoring switching contacts:<br />

BIF8plus detects when one of the switching<br />

contacts is no longer electrically cut off due to a<br />

defect. In this case, the activation of the switching<br />

contacts is deactivated.<br />

System self-monitoring: In the BIF8plus safety<br />

measures were taken for a possible disturbance of<br />

the control unit. A watchdog module deactivates<br />

the activation of all switching contacts in case of a<br />

failure.<br />

Groups of switching functions and settings can be<br />

conveniently set or changed by means of a USB<br />

interface using PC software (Windows).<br />

As a rule, the standard functions headboard up/<br />

down, level up/down and foot section up/down are<br />

operated. Depending on the type of bed,<br />

combinations or special functions are also possible.<br />

Multiple actuations of the same functions:<br />

In order to ensure safe operation by means of<br />

infrared, a short compulsory pause is inserted<br />

between the repeated operations of the same<br />

functions in sequence.<br />

AssistX Call<br />

Secure call Triggering<br />

according to<br />

DIN VDE 0834<br />

AssistX Call is equipped with 2 AssistX ports.<br />

These can be connected to any 2 single sensors<br />

or push-buttons or AssistX port compatible<br />

sensors.<br />

AssistX Call is delivered to fit the<br />

corresponding call system. The power supply, if<br />

supported, is provided by the connected call<br />

system. If this is not possible, the power supply<br />

is provided by an external power supply,<br />

protected by a backup battery with several<br />

hours of runtime.<br />

AssistX Call is a sensor adapter for luminous<br />

call systems and enables call triggering using<br />

special sensors (call triggers) which cannot be<br />

connected directly to the call system. For<br />

example, with AssistX Call the proximity<br />

sensor AssistX ProX, acoustic sensor AS one,<br />

sip-puff encoder Pneumax, infrared receiver<br />

AssistX IR one, or various push-buttons,<br />

including large-sized push-buttons, can be used<br />

to call for help.<br />

AssistX Call is powered by the call system or<br />

an external power supply. In both cases, the<br />

device works even in the event of a power<br />

failure in the network. When powered by an<br />

external power supply, the built-in lithiumpolymer<br />

battery ensures full functionality for a<br />

few hours in case of power failure.<br />

The device is individually configured for different<br />

call systems and delivered with a connection cable<br />

pre-configured to the call system.<br />

Inputs for call triggering<br />

The sensors are connected to the two 3.5 mm input<br />

jack plugs. AssistX Call can add and distinguish<br />

between different sensors.<br />

Safety<br />

The AssistX Call monitors safety-relevant<br />

parameters. If a proper function is no longer<br />

guaranteed, the device triggers a call.<br />

Monitored are:<br />

•Power supply to the control unit<br />

•Sensor error (cable break, ejection)<br />

•Function monitoring of the active transmitter<br />

•Self-monitoring of the electronics<br />

•Defective sensor cable<br />

A defective sensor cable<br />

A defective sensor / switch cable or an<br />

inadvertently unplugged sensor / switch can<br />

present a danger to the caller or third persons. If a<br />

sensor error is detected, a call is triggered. The<br />

error can be displayed visually and acoustically.<br />

Pneumax or the PikoButton NC).<br />

For simple switches with a normally open contact,<br />

it is not possible to detect a defective cable for<br />

technical reasons. In order to achieve the highest<br />

possible degree of safety in these types of switches<br />

as well, simple switches with normally open<br />

contact must be operated at least once every 24<br />

hours. As a rule, this is guaranteed in everyday<br />

nursing care. If the 24 hours are exceeded without<br />

the sensor being activated, a signal light on the<br />

AssistX Call flashes and signals that the sensor is<br />

no longer considered safe and must be activated. If<br />

activation is detected, the LED goes out again.<br />

The call is triggered in parallel.<br />

However, a sensor / switch test can also be<br />

manually requested at any time by the nursing<br />

staff (morning routine).<br />

Technical data:<br />

•Power supply: Power supply via call system<br />

AssistX ® Mobil<br />

AssistX® Mobil<br />

Secure wireless call triggering<br />

according to DIN VDE 0834.<br />

AssistX Mobil<br />

Wireless home and<br />

nurse call system<br />

Assist X Mobil is a wireless home and nurse<br />

call system with connection for any triggering<br />

sensors, switches or push-buttons with 3.5 mm<br />

jack plug.<br />

The basic system consists of transmitter,<br />

receiver and a USB charger. The receiver can<br />

be easily carried on the belt using a clip.<br />

The AssistX Mobil radio paging system is the<br />

ideal solution when nursing care with mobility<br />

and safety at the same time is required .<br />

AssistX Mobil is connected in less than 5<br />

minutes and easy to use.<br />

Depending on the level of disability, special<br />

sensors for triggering the distress call can be<br />

plugged into the transmitter's connection socket.<br />

This allows even people with the most severe<br />

disabilities to make a call with an individual<br />

sensor.<br />

Several transmitters, as well as several<br />

receivers can be used together. Thus, the<br />

system is also particularly suitable for use in<br />

small residential groups.<br />

The name of the caller or the room is displayed<br />

in plain text on the display of the receiver (s).<br />

Functional principle:<br />

By pushing the button or operating a plugged in<br />

push-button / switch, a radio paging is triggered<br />

by the transmitter. This is signaled visually and<br />

acoustically to the caller.<br />

The radio paging is picked up by the receiver<br />

and signaled visually, acoustically and by vibration.<br />

The receiver then sends back an acknowledgment<br />

signal to confirm proper reception. If this<br />

acknowledgment signal is missing, the call is<br />

repeated automatically. The caller recognizes the<br />

acknowledgment by the light of a red calming<br />

lamp.<br />

At the receiver, the call must be acknowledged by<br />

pressing the "OK" key. This stops the acoustic and<br />

optical signaling.<br />

After this, the triggered call must be acknowledged<br />

manually with the caller. If this does not occur<br />

within a certain time, the call process is<br />

automatically repeated from the beginning.<br />

Perfect individual call triggering:<br />

AssistX Mobil is equipped with an AssistX port<br />

(see page 15) for call triggering. This one can be<br />

connected with any simple switches, push-buttons<br />

or AssistX Port compatible sensors. As a result, in<br />

addition to standard simple switches, the AssistX<br />

ProX one proximity sensor or the AssistX AS<br />

one acoustic sensor can be inserted directly into<br />

the transmitter and used to trigger the call.<br />

No additional power supply or cable is<br />

required.<br />

Particularly safe:<br />

The AssistX Mobil network communicates in the<br />

protected "Social Alarm" frequency band (869<br />

MHz). This makes the system particularly protected<br />

against interfering radio signals from other devices.<br />

Both transmitters and receivers have installed a<br />

powerful Lipo battery with a running time of at<br />

least 24 hours as power supply.<br />

AssistX Mobil also features a range detection. If a<br />

transmitter is out of range, this is indicated in the<br />

receiver. A low battery charge status of the<br />

transmitter is also displayed in the receiver and<br />

alarmed before reaching a critical level.<br />

All calls are recorded in the receiver with their<br />

origin, date and time so that they can be evaluated<br />

later, if necessary.<br />

SENSOR<br />

SENSOR<br />

AssistX AS one<br />

Acoustic sensor<br />

AssistX AS one<br />

Acoustic sensor that listens to human<br />

sounds<br />

With the acoustic sensor AS one, physically<br />

disabled persons can reliably trigger a distress<br />

call, without contact and movement. The wide<br />

range of settings makes it possible to adapt the<br />

acoustic sensor very well to the user's needs.<br />

Ambient noise is effectively filtered out.<br />

AS one can be set to human tones of different<br />

volume, sound frequency range and duration. In<br />

addition, a special pulse mode can be set for<br />

severely impaired users.<br />

The AS one features an AssistX port and<br />

therefore can be operated with all compatible<br />

devices from the AssistX family. The AS one is<br />

self-monitoring and automatically triggers a call<br />

in case of a failure.<br />

Connection<br />

AS one is connected to an AssistX port using<br />

the supplied cable. For example, AssistX Port,<br />

AssistX Mobil and ClickMan (newer<br />

generation) offer an AssistX port.<br />

Sound mode<br />

The pitch of the acoustic signal to trigger the sensor<br />

can be taught in. The tolerance for sensitivity and<br />

frequency as well as the duration of the sound can<br />

be adjusted. The acoustic sensor can be triggered<br />

with all sounds up to the pitch of a whistle. The<br />

most reliable triggering is achieved with a<br />

sonorous humming sound "Mmmmm".<br />

Pulse mode<br />

For heavily impaired users, who can only keep a<br />

very short sound, the acoustic sensor can be<br />

switched to the pulse mode. The sensor then<br />

responds to all noise pulses (clicking the tongue<br />

etc.), which reach the adjusted volume.<br />

Technical data:<br />

Magnetic housing base for fixing to metal strips /<br />

iron pipes or the optional wall fastening panel.<br />

#20459 Mounting for hinged bracket/tripod<br />

AssistX ProX one<br />

Proximity sensor<br />

The proximity sensor is plugged into the AssistX<br />

port of AssistX Call, AssistX Mobil or ClickMan<br />

by a 3.5 mm jack plug and then can be used like a<br />

conventional single-button sensor. In order to<br />

trigger a switching function, it is sufficient to come<br />

close to the sensor with the hand or another body<br />

part; direct contact is not necessary. Therefore, the<br />

sensor is very well suited for call triggering with<br />

minimal effort.<br />

The proximity sensor, which is integrated in a<br />

flexible hosepipe, can be individually bent towards<br />

the body. Nevertheless, the set position remains<br />

very stable. AssistX ProX one is available either<br />

mounted on a tripod and on a hinged bracket.<br />

#20453 AssistX ProX one tripod<br />

#20454 AssistX ProX one tripod with stabilizing<br />

weight<br />

#20455 AssistX ProX one hinged bracket<br />

Mode of operation<br />

The sensor responds to noise of a certain<br />

frequency and volume, which is maintained for<br />

a certain period of time. Optionally, a pulse<br />

mode can be set for particularly impaired users,<br />

which makes the sensor very sensitive to all<br />

noises. Only the selected volume must be<br />

reached.<br />

The infrared sensor is plugged into the AssistX<br />

port of AssistX Call, AssistX Mobil or ClickMan<br />

via a 3.5mm jack plug.<br />

AssistX IR one is a sensor that responds to<br />

infrared signals. When a specific IR code (4<br />

addresses can be set) is received, a switching<br />

function is sent to the AssistX port, whereupon<br />

AssistX Call resp. AssistX Mobil triggers a call.<br />

Therefore, AssistX IR one is an ideal extension<br />

for infrared adaptive environmental control<br />

devices.<br />

AssistX IR one is self-monitoring and triggers via<br />

the AssistX port in the event of a failure.<br />

AssistX IR one is magnetic at the bottom of the<br />

of a taught-in radio command, a switching function<br />

is sent to the AssistX port, whereupon AssistX<br />

Call triggers a call.<br />

Therefore, AssistX RX one is an ideal extension<br />

for Easywave controlled environments.<br />

AssistX RX one is self-monitoring and, in the<br />

event of a failure, triggers a fault detection via the<br />

Hy-Pneumax<br />

Sip-puff-switch for hygienic<br />

requirements<br />

Hy-PneuMax is a sip-puff-switch that meets the<br />

high hygienic requirements in hospitals and is easy<br />

to use and to maintain. The field of application is<br />

mainly in hospitals and nursing homes, with<br />

contaminated patients and changing users.<br />

Mouthpiece, air hose and hygienic filter (99.9%<br />

bacteria filter) can be replaced easily as a matter of<br />

routine.<br />

Hy-PneuMax was tested and approved by a<br />

renowned specialist hospital in the day-to-day<br />

operation.<br />

The Hy-PneuMax tripod can be placed universally<br />

next to the nursing bed or wheelchair and can be<br />

operated from there. The stability against<br />

accidental overturning is greatly increased by a<br />

stabilizing weight.<br />

The Hy-PneuMax hinged bracket can be mounted<br />

universally and simply with its special clamp on<br />

table edges, table legs or frame tubes of bed or<br />

wheelchairs. The positioning of the 3 joints is firmly<br />

fixed by a handle.<br />

The pressure settings for blowing and sucking are<br />

separately adjustable by two adjusting screws. This<br />

can also trigger a nurse call with a very weak<br />

sucking or blowing.<br />

A corresponding S-CON 2 adapter (see page ) or<br />

AssistX Call (see page 16) must be used for<br />

connection to a call system.<br />

Hy-PneuMax can also be safely used with<br />

ProX 2<br />

Non-contact proximity<br />

switch in the stand-alone<br />

version<br />

ClickMan ProX2 is a non-contact proximity<br />

switch in the stand-alone version.<br />

The actual proximity sensor is integrated in a<br />

flexible tube. This makes a perfect positioning of<br />

the sensor on the patient very easy.<br />

In order to trigger a switching function, it is<br />

sufficient to reach the immediate proximity of<br />

the sensor with the hand, a finger or another<br />

part of the body. As a result, the force required<br />

for an actuation is reduced to a minimum.<br />

In addition, intelligent operating aids such as an<br />

anti-tremor filter or a minimum contact time can<br />

be activated by means of PC software.<br />

The sensor is electronically monitored and is<br />

equipped with an ejection alarm. As an<br />

acknowledgment to an operation, an acoustic<br />

and optical signal is set as standard for the<br />

patient.<br />

Due to the integrated lithium polymer battery,<br />

the ClickMan ProX2 is very flexible and can<br />

also be used for mobile applications.<br />

A corresponding S-CON 2 adapter (see page ) or<br />

Which switches for which purpose?<br />

Choosing the proper switch is very important because it represents the interface between<br />

human being and the devices to be controlled and has to be operable as optimally as<br />

possible. This includes the manner and power of the actuation as well as the position.<br />

As a rule, push-buttons require actuating by a hand (finger) or, in rare cases, by foot or<br />

head. In these cases, the actuating force and correct position (on tripod, protection<br />

against slipping) is important.<br />

In many cases, an approximation sensor (e. g. ProX2) is a good solution. Such a sensor<br />

can be optimally positioned by means of a tripod and a flexible arm and can be activated<br />

practically without force even by very small movements (head movement, finger<br />

movement).<br />

Pneumatic sensor switches such as the Hy-Pneumax are always useful when movements<br />

are not possible or hardly possible, but sucking and/or blowing into a small mouthpiece. A<br />

typical use is with people with a severe spinal paralysis. The necessary pressure can be<br />

adjusted and two functions can be triggered.<br />

Hygiene, especially in hospitals, is ensured, especially when using the proximity sensors,<br />

but also in the case of the product Hy-Pneumax because all relevant components are<br />

interchangeable.<br />

Sip-Puff Sensor Switch Pneumax<br />

AssistX AS one Connection Set<br />

The pneumatic module Pneumax is used for the<br />

universal control of environmental control<br />

devices by people who can no longer operate<br />

mechanical switches because of their handicap.<br />

A 3.5 mm stereo jack plug is available as a<br />

connection. The switching contacts can be used<br />

as either normally closed or normally open<br />

contacts. The sensitivity is adjusted by two<br />

adjusting screws. By turning the adjusting<br />

screws, the normally open contact becomes a<br />

normally closed contact. The Pneumax is<br />

attached to the respective devices by means of<br />

an optionally available pipe mounting.<br />

An acoustic sensor that listens for human sounds.<br />

With the acoustic sensor AS one, physically<br />

disabled persons can reliably trigger a distress call,<br />

without contact and movement. The wide range of<br />

settings makes it possible to adapt the acoustic<br />

sensor very well to the user’s needs. Ambient<br />

noise is effectively filtered out. AS one can be set<br />

to human tones of different volume, sound<br />

frequency range and duration. In addition, a special<br />

pulse mode can be set for severely impaired users.<br />

The set includes the AssistX Connect Box and a<br />

USB-power supply. The acoustic sensor AS one is<br />

sourced by the Connect Box. An activation of the<br />

acoustic switch will result a contact (NO or NC) at<br />

the output connector of AssistX Connect box. All<br />

together the set makes the AssistX AS one an<br />

independent switch to control any device who<br />

needs a single switch to control.<br />

Mode of Operation: The sensor responds to<br />

noise of a certain frequency and volume, which is<br />

maintained for a certain period of time. Optionally,<br />

a pulse mode can be set for particularly impaired<br />

users, which makes the sensor very sensitive to all<br />

noises. Only the selected volume must be reached.<br />

Sound Mode: The pitch of the acoustic signal to<br />

trigger the sensor can be taught in. The tolerance<br />

for sensitivity and frequency as well as the duration<br />

of the sound can be adjusted. The acoustic sensor<br />

can be triggered with all sounds up to the pitch of a<br />

whistle. The most reliable triggering is achieved<br />

with a sonorous humming sound “Mmmmm”.<br />

Pulse mode: For heavily impaired users, who<br />

can only keep a very short sound, the acoustic<br />

sensor can be switched to the pulse mode.<br />

The sensor then responds to all noise pulses<br />

(clicking the tongue etc.), which reach the<br />

adjusted volume.<br />

Technical Data:<br />

•Magnetic housing base for fixing to metal<br />

strips / iron pipes or the optional wall fastening<br />

panel.<br />

•Measures 51x51x26mm<br />

ClickMan<br />

Adaptive multicontroller for single<br />

sensors/switches<br />

hand or another body part. Thanks to its integrated<br />

lithium-polymer battery, the device is also very<br />

flexible for mobile applications.<br />

•Desired switching behavior of the switching<br />

contacts (pulse, changeover switch, push-button,<br />

double-click)<br />

ClickMan is an adaptive multicontroller for<br />

single sensors/switches with two multifunctional<br />

potential-free switching outputs, one of which<br />

can be used as an normally closed or normally<br />

open contact. This makes it possible to use<br />

ClickMan as a triggering device on luminous/<br />

nurse call systems with quiescent current and<br />

cable break monitoring. Due to the enormous<br />

variety of settings (by PC software) almost<br />

every desired switching behaviour can be<br />

produced at the switching outputs.<br />

The sensor input can be equipped with an antitremor<br />

filter and an ejection alarm.<br />

In multi-mode, you can switch between up to 5<br />

individually configurable switching modes with a<br />

long or double click. This allows, for example, a<br />

parallel operation of environmental control<br />

device and luminous call system in a simple<br />

manner.<br />

An acoustic and optical signal can be set as an<br />

acknowledgement to the operator. ClickMan<br />

becomes the ProX 2 by using an optionally<br />

available capacitive proximity sensor. The<br />

proximity sensor is plugged into the ClickMan<br />

by means of a 3.5 mm jack plug and then can be<br />

used like a customary single-button sensor. In<br />

order to trigger a switching function, it is<br />

sufficient to come close to the sensor with the<br />

•Any single sensors/switches such as PikoButton<br />

or PikoButton NC can be used for quiescent or<br />

working current and proximity sensor (ProX2 set)<br />

•Suitable for mobile applications due to lithiumpolymer<br />

battery.<br />

•Cable break and function monitoring of the sensor<br />

possible with configurable call switching<br />

•Safety thanks to battery and system monitoring<br />

(watchdog) with call switching<br />

•2 potential-free switching contacts available on<br />

one jack plug each<br />

•A switching contact can be used and configured<br />

as a normally open contact and / or normally<br />

closed contact.<br />

•This allows the ClickMan to be used as a<br />

triggering device for luminous and nurse call<br />

systems with quiescent current and cable break<br />

monitoring. Second switching contact for parallel<br />

operation of environmental control units.<br />

•Thanks to the intuitive configuration software (for<br />

Microsoft Windows), the full functionality<br />

including response and switching behaviour can<br />

be adapted to the user at the PC.<br />

•Individually adjustable anti-tremor filter (response<br />

time and duration can be adjusted continuously)<br />

•Dual or multiple functions applicable (for example,<br />

for triggering a nurse call and parallel operation of<br />

the environmental control, switchable / toggling<br />

by configurable double or long click).<br />

•Acoustic and / or optical feedback during<br />

operation<br />

Connections for control elements<br />

Control elements with one or two functions are usually connected by<br />

means of a jack plug with 3.5 mm diameter. The mono plug serves to<br />

connect control elements with one function (e. g. push-button like Piko<br />

button), the stereo plug for those with two functions (e. g. Pneumax for<br />

sip and puff).<br />

Control elements with 5 or more functions (e. g. Mini-Joystick) are<br />

frequently connected by means of a so-called 9-pin DSUB plug. The<br />

control element always features the female plug.<br />

SwitchMouse V2 USB<br />

The SwitchMouse is plugged into the computer<br />

instead of a normal mouse. The individual<br />

directions of movement of the normal mouse are<br />

simulated by a joystick (or another multi-sensor),<br />

which is plugged into the SwitchMouse. Instead of<br />

moving the mouse, the corresponding sensor<br />

(right, left, etc.) is actuated. The keys of a normal<br />

mouse are replaced by individual sensors or by the<br />

acknowledgement button of the joystick (if<br />

available).<br />

The SwitchMouse is a further development of the<br />

INCAP SwitchMouse.<br />

Connection to MAC or PC<br />

The SwitchMouse is connected directly to a USB<br />

port on your computer. It is recognized<br />

automatically, installation of drivers is not<br />

necessary for normal operation. Connections of<br />

single sensors (e.g., push-buttons) and joystick.<br />

A 9-pin D-SUB connector for the connection of a<br />

joystick and eight lateral jacks for the connection of<br />

single sensors with a 3.5 mm jack plug are<br />

attached to the SwitchMouse.<br />

The joystick's acknowledgement button<br />

corresponds to a mouse click of the left mouse<br />

button. The four left jacks can be used for the four<br />

directions instead of the joystick. The four right<br />

jacks correspond to the following mouse key<br />

functions:<br />

•Left mouse click<br />

•Click and drag (left mouse button)<br />

•Double-click left<br />

•Right mouse key<br />
