CHARGER INHIBIT PLUG CONNECTION
The charger inhibit connector on the utility tray is coded with colored
dots. See figure 15. The dots are positioned so that you align the flat
side of the male connector with the flat side of the female connector
before making the connection.
CAUTION! Failure to properly align the connectors can
result in damage to the controller, the charger harness,
and the connectors.
Troubleshooting
The VSI controller is designed with the user’s safety as the prime consideration. It incorporates many sophisticated
self-test features which search for potential problems at a rate of 100 times per second. If the VSI detects a
problem either in its own circuits or in the power chair’s electrical system, it may stop the power chair, depending
on the severity of the problem. The VSI is designed to maximise the user’s safety under all normal conditions. The
table below identifies the individual error codes. Error codes are displayed as a rapid flashing of the lights. If you
get one of these error codes, contact your authorised Pride provider.
