Locking/Unlocking the VSI

The VSI has a feature that enables you to lock your power chair to prevent unauthorized use.

To lock the VSI:

1. With the VSI switched on, press and hold the on/off key. After 1 second, the VSI should beep.

2. Release the on/off key.

3. Push the joystick to the full forward position until the VSI beeps.

4. Pull the joystick to the full rearward position until the VSI beeps.

5. Release the joystick. There should be a long beep.

6. The VSI is now locked.

To unlock the VSI:

1. Press the on/off key to power on the VSI. The maximum speed/profile indicator should ripple side to side.

2. Push the joystick to the full forward position until the VSI beeps.

3. Pull the joystick to the full rearward position until the VSI beeps.

4. Release the joystick. There should be a long beep.

5. The VSI is now unlocked.

NOTE: If the above procedures fail to either lock or unlock the VSI, contact your authorized Pride Provider.

Off-board Charger/Programming Socket

The off-board charger/programming socket is located on the front of the VSI. If you use an off-board charger, the charger

current should not exceed 12 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. See your authorized Pride Provider for more information.

NOTE: The socket may also be used for reprogramming the VSI. Contact your authorized Pride Provider for

more information.

Motor Connectors

This connects the VSI to the power chairs motors and motor brakes.

Battery Connector

This connects the VSI to the power chairs batteries.

Charger Inhibit Connector

The charger inhibit connector connects the VSI to the onboard battery charger. This connection provides an inhibit that

disables the VSI when the battery charger is on. The charger inhibit connector is coded with colored dots. 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.

WARNING! Failure to properly align the connectors can result in damage to the VSI, the charger,

and the connectors.
