Electrical Components
The electrical components are located inside the power base. The ammeter and the charger 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 motor connectors, the charger inhibit connector, and the power seat connector are located on the power pod, inside the power base. See figure 8.
Ammeter: The ammeter displays the charger’s current output in amps. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.”
Charger Power Cord Receptacle: This is where the charger power cord plugs into the onboard battery charger. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.”
Motor Connectors: This is where the controller connects to the motors. The motor connectors are
Controller Connector: This is where the controller connects to the power base.
Main Circuit Breaker: The main circuit breaker is a safety feature built into your power chair. 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 continues to trip repeat- edly, contact your authorized Pride Provider.
Battery Connector: This is where the controller connects to the batteries.
Power Seat Connector: This is where the power seat actuator connects to the power pod.
Charger Inhibit Connector: The charger inhibit enables the onboard battery charger to disable the controller during charging.
