Europa Controller
The Europa Controller is a fully-programmable, modular electronic controller system that allows you to
operate your power chair. It is designed to allow the user to have complete control over chair movement
and speed.
The controller has been pre-programmed to meet a typical user’s needs. The program is set using
either a personal computer with software provided by the controller manufacturer or with a hand-held
programmer, also provided by the controller manufacturer.
WARNING! The controller program can affect speed, acceleration, deceleration, dynamic
stability, and braking. If it is programmed incorrectly or outside of the safe limits as determined
by your healthcare professional, it can create a dangerous situation. Only the power chair
manufacturer, an authorized representative of the manufacturer, or a trained service technician
should program the controller.
Precautionary Guidelines
Before operating the Europa Controller, please read the following. These guidelines are provided for
your benefit and will aid you in the safe operation of the control system.
Turn off the power to the controller when transferring to or from your power chair.
Follow all of the procedures and heed the warnings as explained in your power chair owner’s manual.
Failure to heed the above warnings can result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.

Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI)
WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic and radio frequency waves can
have an adverse effect on the performance of electrically-powered mobility vehicles.
Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference can come from sources such as cellular phones,
mobile two-way radios (such as walkie-talkies), radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM)
transmitters, wireless computer links, microwave signals, paging transmitters, and medium-range
mobile transceivers used by emergency vehicles. In some cases, these waves can cause unintended
movement or damage to the control system. Every electrically-powered mobility vehicle has an immunity
(or resistance) to EMI. The higher the immunity level, the greater the protection against EMI. This
product has been tested and has passed at an immunity level of 20 V/m.
WARNING! Be aware that cell phones, two-way radios, laptops, electricity generators or high
power sources and other types of radio transmitters may cause unintended movement of
your electrically-powered mobility vehicle due to EMI. Do not turn ON hand-held personal
communication devices, such as citizens band (CB) radios and cellular phones, while the
powered wheelchair is turned on. Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations,
and avoid coming into close proximity to them.
WARNING! The addition of accessories or components to the electrically-powered mobility
vehicle can increase the susceptibility of the vehicle to EMI. Do not modify your power chair in
any way not authorized by Pride/Quantum.
WARNING! The electrically-powered mobility vehicle itself can disturb the performance of
other electrical devices located nearby, such as alarm systems.
NOTE: For further information on EMI/RFI, go to the Resource Center on www.pridemobility.
com. If unintended motion or brake release occurs, turn your controller off as soon as it is safe
to do so. Contact Pride or your Pride/Quantum Provider to report the incident.

Operating the Europa Controller
The Europa Controller is used to operate your power chair and all of its components. See figure 2.
The Europa controller consists of:
1. joystick
2. keypad
3. controller communications connector
4. 3-pin off-board charger socket
Joystick Control
The joystick controls the direction and speed of your power chair. When you move the joystick from the
neutral (center) position, the electromagnetic brakes release and allow your power chair to move. The
farther you push the joystick from its neutral position, the faster your power chair moves. When you
release the joystick and allow it to return to the neutral position, you engage the electromagnetic brakes.
This causes your power chair to decelerate and come to a complete stop.
Keypad
The keypad is located directly in front of the joystick. It contains keys that you will use to control your
power chair. See figure 3.
On/Off Key
The on/off key turns the system on and off.
WARNING! When faced wih an emergency stop situation, release the joystick, them press on/
off to stop the power chair. Use caution. Be advised that pressing the on/off button may cause
the power chair to stop abruptly.
WARNING! Always turn the power off when you are stationary to prevent unexpected movement.
NOTE: If the joystick is not in the neutral (center) position when you turn on the power, you may
cause a fault in the system. See “Out Of Neutral At Power Up.”
