Electronics Tray

The electronics tray is located on the back of the power base. See figures 6 and 7. The ammeter, charger power cord, the main circuit breaker, the controller connector, and the charger inhibit connector are all located on the electronics tray.

Ammeter: The ammeter displays the charger’s current output in amps. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.”

Charger Power Cord: The charger power cord plugs into a standard electrical outlet to supply power to the onboard battery charger during battery charging.

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 repeatedly, contact your authorized Pride Provider.

Controller Connector: This is where the controller connects to the power base. The VSI controller uses a large 9-pin connector. The Remote Plus and the Europa use smaller, multi-pin communications cable connectors (not shown).

Charger Inhibit Connector: The VSI controller is equipped with a charger inhibit connector. The charger inhibit enables the onboard battery charger to disable the controller during charging. The charger inhibit connector is coded with colored dots. The dots are positioned so that you can 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 controller, the charger power cord, and the connectors.

Lighting System Connector (Not Shown): This is where the lighting system connects to the power base. Standard lighting systems have a single pin connector. Full lighting systems use a 3-pin connector.

Active-Trac Suspension

The power chair is equipped with an Active-Trac Suspension (ATS). ATS is a suspension system designed to make the power chair traverse different types of terrain and obstacles while maintaining smooth operation. With ATS, the front anti-tip wheels work in conjunction with the motor suspension to help you maneuver over obstacles in excess of three inches in height.

As the front anti-tip wheels come in contact with an obstacle, the front anti-tip wheel assembly is drawn upward. At the same time, the motors are forced downward. This allows the motors to push the power chair over an obstacle without the possibility of becoming “hung up.”

ATS also helps in day-to-day operating conditions. For instance, when you release the joystick, the power chair begins to slow down. As the chair slows down, the front anti-tip wheels will automatically drop toward the ground. This will reduce the forward tip that is typically encountered with mid-wheel drive chairs.
