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 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 onboard
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 Pro-
vider for more information.
Actuator Connector
The actuator connector connects the VSI to optional powered systems such as an elevating seat or lighting
system. Contact your authorized Pride Provider for information on how to operate these accessories.
Controller Connector
This connects the VSI to the power chairs batteries, motors, and motor brakes.
Charger Inhibit Connector
This 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.
