The Digital Steering System for the year 2000 and beyond!

The DS-2000 addresses all of your safety concerns surrounding air bag removal, horizontal steering, factory hydraulic system modifications and able-bodied drivability. This is the world's first and only Digital Steering System and DS-2000 is engineered and manufactured with the latest in technology and function.

The DS-2000 eliminates the need for zero and reduced effort steering box modifications. The steering effort stays factory with no modifications! DS-2000 also eliminates the need for conventional hydraulic backup systems with the use of redundant computers and a powerful, 4-pole steering servo design. The factory steering column remains fully functional for able-bodied operation.

Acceptance by Vocational Rehabilitation Departments in 50 states, most major insurance carriers, and the V.A., assures you of possible co-payment help if you qualify for assistance under these programs.
 

Steering Module
 
 
 

The Steering Module, with its six-inch steering wheel, can be located anywhere in the driving area. The effort of the miniature steering wheel is approximately 6-10 oz. at a 4-inch radius. To further meet your needs, EMC manufactures several orthotic interfaces (see orthotic devices) and the orthotic neutral position can be changed by the driver while stopped at a stop sign.

The DS-2000 Steering Module features a Status Display panel with high intensity status lamps and audible warnings to convey system information to the driver.

The Steering Wheel utilizes a "friction" sleeve for increased feel as well as clutched end stop supports for rugged dependability.
 

Computer Module
 
 
 

The DS-2000 Computer Module is truly "state-of-the-art". All control circuits are modeled after those of the proven design in Digidrive II...only miniaturized for this application. The Computer Module only measures 8.5"L x 6.5"W x 1.8"H and conveniently locates behind the dash panel in most van applications. Using innovative design and technology advances, EMC driving controls have evolved to benefit you...today, and into the future.

Fault Tolerant design means safer operation. All joystick, computer, and power circuits are completely redundant (backup systems included) within the Computer Module. Either computer processor can sense irregularities in the system operating parameters and automatically switch to the backup processor capable of controlling the vehicle 100 times faster than you could! Of course, you also have the option of utilizing the "manual" Emergency Backup switch.
 

Steering Servomotor
 

The DS-2000 Steering Servomotor is modeled after the proven design in Digidrive II and comes completely assembled and calibrated ready to plug in. This compact, powerful design is installed to the base of the factory steering column under the dashboard of your vehicle and does not impair able-bodied operation of the factory steering wheel. The patented "disengage" mechanism allows your able-bodied friends and family to drive your vehicle using the factory wheel by simply flipping a lever. DS-2000 puts you in complete control as the servo communicates "positional feedback" information back to the Computer Module whenever you steer using the miniature Steering Module.

No modifications to the factory steering gearbox or pump are required due to the large torque that the 4-pole servomotor is capable of exerting on the steering shaft. Should your vehicle stall or the power steering pump or drive belt fail, the "Quad" Brush motor also provides redundancy in the form of two separate pairs of motor windings.
