Electrical Components
The electrical components are located inside the power base. The charger power cord receptacle, ammeter, main circuit breaker, and controller connector are located on the electronics tray. See figure 6.
Charger Power Cord Receptacle: This is where the charger power cord plugs into the onboard battery charger.
Ammeter: The ammeter displays the onboard charger’s current output in amps.
Controller Connector: This is where the controller connects to the power base. Each controller uses a different type of cable. Regardless of which type of controller is used, the cable must be secured to the seat assembly and not allowed to drag on the floor.
Main Circuit Breaker: The main circuit breaker is a safety feature built into your power chair. When the batteries and motors are heavily strained (e.g., from excessive loads), the main circuit breaker will trip to prevent damage to the motors and the electronics. If the circuit trips, allow your power chair to “rest” for approximately one minute. Then, push in the circuit breaker button, turn on the controller power, and continue normal operation. If the main circuit breaker continues to trip repeatedly, contact your authorized Pride Provider.
