Off-board Charger/Programming Socket
You may use an off-board charger to charge the power chair batteries through the 3-pin socket located on
the front of the controller. The socket may also be used for reprogramming the controller by using a con-
troller programmer, should this be necessary. If you use an off-board charger, the charger current should not
exceed 8 amps. Contact your authorized Pride Provider for more information.
WARNING! Only chargers with Neutrik NC3MX plugs should be connected to the off-board
charger/programming socket.
Controller Communications Cable
The controller communications cable provides the joystick module with a connection to the power module
at the back of the power base.
Power Module
Typically, the power module is mounted to the power base. The power module provides a power interface
for the joystick module. It routes the battery power to the motors and other powered accessories such as
lights and power seats.
Actuator Lighting Module (Not Shown)
The actuator lighting module is also located on the power base. The actuator lighting module provides a
control and power interface between the power module, the lights, and/or the power seat actuator.
Sleep Mode
Your Remote Plus controller has a sleep mode feature. Sleep mode is a built-in circuit that automatically
shuts off the main power if the joystick is not moved in any direction for approximately five minutes. The
battery condition meter lights on the keypad indicate sleep mode by blinking once every five seconds. To
restore power and continue, push the on/off key twice.
Thermal Rollback
The Remote Plus is equipped with a thermal rollback circuit. This circuit monitors the temperature of the
motors, power module, and remote. In the event that any of them become excessively hot (above 122° F),
motor voltage is reduced. For every degree above 122° F, the voltage is reduced by 5 volts. This reduces
your power chairs speed and allows the electrical components to cool down. When the temperature returns
to a safe level, your power chair resumes its normal speed.
Remote Plus Error Codes
In addition to indicating the current state of battery charge, the battery condition meter can also indicate
possible problems with your power chair. The battery condition meter has ten lights. The lights provide
information by the number of lights that are flashing. If any of the meter lights are flashing rapidly, the
controller may be indicating a fault. For instance, if the first light is flashing rapidly, the battery voltage is
nearly depleted. The following is a list of the possible errors signified by the rapidly flashing meter. When
you get a trouble code, contact your authorized Pride Provider.
