ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS

The electrical components are located on the power base. The ammeter and the onboard AC power cord receptacle are

located on the right side of the power base. The main circuit breaker is located on the front of the battery tray. The

controller connector and the motor connectors are located on the power pod, inside the power base. See figure 6.

Ammeter:

 The ammeter displays the charger’s current output in amps. See VII. “Batteries and Charging.”

Onboard Battery Charger AC Power Cord Receptacle:

 This is where the AC power cord plugs into the onboard

charger. See VII “Batteries and Charging.”

Main Circuit Breaker:

 The main circuit breaker is a safety feature built into your power chair. See figure 25. When the

batteries and the motors are heavily strained (e.g., from excessive loads), the main circuit breaker trips to prevent damage

to the motors and the electronics. If the circuit trips, allow your power chair to “rest” for approximately one minute. Next,

push in the circuit breaker button, turn on the controller, and continue normal operation. If the main circuit breaker contin-

ues to trip repeatedly, contact your authorized Pride Provider.

Motor Connectors:

 This is where the controller connects to the motors. The motor connectors are color-coded with red

and yellow labels. The label color on the motor connector corresponds with the label color on the power pod.

Battery Connector:

 This is where the controller connects to the batteries. See figure 25.

Charger Inhibit Connector:

 The charger inhibit enables the onboard charger to disable the controller during charging.

See VIII. “Operation.”
