νRed and yellow lights lit: Charge battery if possible; Pilot and electrical system OK.

νRed lights only lit or slow flash: Charge battery as soon as possible; Pilot and electrical system OK.

νRapid flash of lights: Indicates a fault in the Pilot or the electrical system. Refer to “Pilot Error Codes.”

νRipple up and down of lights: The joystick was not in the neutral position when the controller was turned on. If you get “ripple up and down of lights”, turn off the controller, allow the joystick to return to the neutral position, then turn on the controller.

NOTE: If you still get “ripple up and down of lights”, contact your authorized Pride Provider.

NOTE: When the batteries approach a discharged state, the first red light will begin to slowly flash, reminding you the batteries need to be charged immediately!

Speed Control Knob

Sets the maximum speed of the power chair: clockwise to increase, counterclockwise to decrease.

NOTE: We recommend that the first few times you operate your power chair, you turn the speed control to the slowest setting until you become familiar with your new power chair.

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 Pilot. If you use an off-board charger, the charger current should not exceed 13 amps. Contact your authorized Pride provider for more information.

CAUTION! Only chargers with Neutrik NC3MX plugs should be connected to the offboard charger/ programming socket. See your authorized Pride provider for more information.

NOTE: The offboard charger/programming socket may also be used for reprogramming the Pilot. Contact your authorized Pride provider for more information.

Controller Connector

This connects the Pilot to the power chair’s batteries, motors, and motor brakes.

3-pin Charger Inhibit Connector

This connects the Pilot to the onboard battery charger. This connection provides an inhibit that disables the Pilot 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.

CAUTION! Failure to properly align the connectors can result in damage to the Pilot, the charger harness, and the connectors.

Thermal Rollback

The Pilot is equipped with a thermal rollback circuit. This circuit monitors the temperature of the motors and the Pilot. In the event that either one of the motors or the Pilot becomes excessively hot (above 122° F), the Pilot reduces the motor voltage. For every degree above 122° F, the controller reduces the voltage by 5 volts. This reduces your power chair’s speed and allows the electrical components to cool down. When the temperature returns to a safe level, your power chair resumes its normal speed.
