Single Pedal Accessory for Savant Elite2

The Single Pedal Accessory for Savant Elite2 is an add-on pedal that must be connected to a programmable (jack-equipped) Savant Elite2 Foot Pedal or to any other programmable control module that can accept a 3.5mm phono plug connector (i.e. the accessory pedal is not programmable, has no control module of its own, and cannot be connected to a computer without an appropriate programmable interface.) When connected, the Single Pedal Accessory can be used to generate any command assigned to the associated jack, such as mouse clicks, combination keyboard shortcuts and multi-key macros. When added to an expandable interface that has available connections an additional pedal provides access to a greater number of commands and functions, and assists in further reducing the load on the hands and fingers. This wired pedal can be positioned up to ten feet away from the control module.

The Single Pedal Accessory for Savant Elite2 has a low-profile housing and is hinged at the front. This permits the operator to rest their foot on the pedal with minimum risk of accidental activation. The pedal also features independent tension adjustment to allow each person to personalize the degree of activation resistance, and threaded inserts and adhesive velcro tabs to secure it in place should that be desired.

Note: The Single Pedal Accessory provides no functionality on its own. Command functionality can only be accomplished by connecting this to a programmable Switch Controller, pre-programmed device, or Switch-activated device.

• Adjustable Activation Force: The Single Pedal Accessory features an activation force adjustment which enables users to determine the level of resistance that works best for them.
• Long Connection Cord: The 10' connection cable on the Single Pedal Accessory enables positioning of the pedal at a significant distance from the primary pedal or control module. The result is greater flexibility in the layout of the workstation.
• Universal Connection: The Single Pedal Accessory uses a 1/8" (3.5 mm) phono plug for connection. This connection is commonly used in many of the custom programming modules available for daily computer use or in the assistive technology field.

• Position the Foot Pedal for Your Comfort - The 10' cord on the Single Pedal Accessory offers great freedom when setting up a workstation layout. Take advantage of this feature to ensure that the pedal is within easy range of your foot and that no awkward stretching or reaching is required.
• Adjust The Activation Sensitivity - Each pedal has a sensitivity adjustment for fine tuning the tension. Ensure that there is a high enough resistance to avoid accidentally activating the pedal. Otherwise, you will find yourself trying to "hold" your foot above the pedal which could stress the muscles of the foot and at the front of your lower leg.
• Program the Foot Pedal to Your Needs - Take a few minutes to determine the specific requirements of your work and program the commands into the control module accordingly. You want to ensure that you program commands that feel intuitive to you, to make it easier to adapt to this new way of working.
• Work From a Seated Position - Footswitches generally work best when you are seated. Repeatedly activating a footswitch while standing can be uncomfortable since this position requires that the muscles of the lower leg remain in a state of constant tension in order to avoid accidental activation (i.e. activation of the switch will occur when the muscles are permitted to relax and allow the foot to return to a natural flat position).
