VII. OPERATION
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 controller. The socket may also be used for reprogramming the controller by using a controller programmer,
should this be necessary. If you use an off-board charger, the charger current should not exceed 8 amps. Contact
your authorized Pride Provider for more information.
WARNING! Only chargers with Neutrik NC3MX plugs should be connected to the off-board
charger/programming socket.
Controller Communications Cable
The controller communications cable provides the joystick module with a connection to the power module at the
back of the power base.
Power Module
Typically, the power module is mounted to the power base. The power module provides a power interface for the
joystick module. It routes the battery power to the motors and other powered accessories such as lights and
power seats.
Actuator Lighting Module (Not Shown)
The actuator lighting module is also located on the power base. The actuator lighting module provides a control and
power interface between the power module, the lights, and/or the power seat actuator.
Sleep Mode
Your Remote Plus controller has a sleep mode feature. Sleep mode is a built-in circuit that automatically shuts off
the main power if the joystick is not moved in any direction for approximately five minutes. The battery condition
meter lights on the keypad indicate sleep mode by blinking once every five seconds. To restore power and con-
tinue, push the on/off key twice.
Thermal Rollback
The Remote Plus is equipped with a thermal rollback circuit. This circuit monitors the temperature of the motors,
power module, and remote. In the event that any of them become excessively hot (above 122° F), motor voltage
is reduced. For every degree above 122° F, the voltage is reduced 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.
Remote Plus Error Codes
In addition to indicating the current state of battery charge, the battery condition meter can also indicate possible
problems with your power chair. The battery condition meter has ten lights. The lights provide information by the
number of lights that are flashing. If any of the meter lights are flashing rapidly, the controller may be indicating a
fault. For instance, if the first light is flashing rapidly, the battery voltage is nearly depleted. The following is a list of
the possible errors signified by the rapidly flashing meter. When you get a trouble code, contact your authorized
Pride Provider.
