J-Series
The J-Series input device is a Gas, Brake & Steering system that utilizes a multi-axis joystick input device. Motion in the X-axis is for Steering and the Y-axis motion is for Gas & Brake. The exposed height of the joystick is approximately 4.25" and an angular displacement, or range, of only 50 degrees is required to move the input from the full left steer position to full right steer or from the full gas position to full brake.

As with all AEVIT® Gas & Brake systems, the Gas & Brake input direction can be programmed to be either gas forward or brake forward. The mechanism is extremely low-effort, requiring a maximum input force of only 0.2 lbs, and is internally spring-loaded to return to the center, or null, position. The joystick is coupled to two independent 3-channel potentiometers (one is for Gas & Brake and the other is for Steering). Each potentiometer provides three discrete input position signals to its respective drive module.The J-Series input device can be positioned for either left hand or right hand operation. The input control enclosure measures 7.0” x 4.5” x 2.5” and weighs only 3.0 lbs. The software within the system provides four (4) unique control algorithms developed by EMC specifically for joystick steering. These allow "on-screen" programming in the Information Center by the dealer and evaluator to maximize the clients input strength and range of motion. In addition to the control algorithms, the AEVIT® joystick steering systems also incorporates software to reduce the speed of the output servomotor as the speed of the vehicle increases. This feature is designed to reduce over-steering scenarios at high speeds.

· The gas/brake direction/linearity and steering algorythm is fully programmable.

WJ-Series
The WJ-Series is a Gas, Brake & Steering system that features a unique input device introduced with the release of AEVIT®. It is a single console with a joystick constrained to motion only in the Y-axis for Gas & Brake mounted on the left, and a 4.5" miniature wheel for Steering on the right.As for the wheel, the mechanics are exactly the same as the W-Series, but the diameter of the wheel is considerably smaller. The WJ-Series input control enclosure measures 12” x 7.5” x 2.5” and weights 6.3 lbs. This unique input device is designed specifically for clients with limited strength and range of motion, but good hand/finger dexterity.

· The gas/brake direction and linearity is fully programmable.

WL-Series br /> The WL-Series is a Gas, Brake & Steering system that utilizes the same wheel input device as the W-Series for Steering and the same lever input device as the L-Series for Gas & Brake. These input devices are designed to be mounted on each side of the driver. However, they are interchangeable so that the system can be tailored for right or left hand steering. The WL-Series utilizes a dual drive module configuration. One drive is for the Steering servomotor and one is for the Gas & Brake servomotor.

· The gas/brake direction and linearity is fully programmable.

XL-Series
The XL-Series is a Gas, Brake & Steering system that utilizes two separate control inputs. A joystick constrained to the X-axis (same as the X-Series) is used as the Steering input and a lever input device (same as the L-Series) is used for operation of the Gas & Brake.
