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
FLIGHT. If you use an off-board charger, the charger current should not exceed 12 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. See your authorized Pride Provider for more information.
NOTE: The socket may also be used for reprogramming the FLIGHT. Contact your authorized Pride Provider
for more information.
Thermal Rollback
The FLIGHT controller is equipped with a thermal rollback circuit. The circuit monitors the temperature of the controller,
which roughly translates to motor temperature. In the event that the FLIGHT controller becomes excessively hot (above
140° F), motor current (amperage) is reduced. For every degree above 140° F, the motor current limit is reduced by .55
amps until the FLIGHT controller reaches 158° F, at which time the current output is reduced to zero. This reduces your
power chair’s “power,” which could also reduce your power chair’s speed, and allows the electrical components and
motors to cool down. When the temperature returns to a safe level, your power chair resumes its normal operation.
FLIGHT Error Codes
The FLIGHT controller is designed with the user’s safety as the prime consideration. It incorporates many sophisticated
self-test features which search for potential problems at a rate of 100 times per second. If the FLIGHT detects a problem
either in its own circuits or in the power chair’s electrical system, it may stop the power chair, depending on the severity of
the problem. The FLIGHT is designed to maximize the user’s safety under all normal conditions. The table below identifies
the individual error codes. Error codes are displayed as a rapid flashing of the lights. If you get one of these error codes,
contact your authorized Pride Provider.
FLASHING
LIGHTS
1 The batteries need charging or there is a bad connection to the battery. Check the connections to
the batteries. If the connections are good, try charging the batteries.
2 The left motor has a bad connection. Check the left motor connection.
3 The left motor has a short circuit to a battery connection. Contact your authorized Pride Provider.
4 The right motor has a bad connection. Check right motor connection.
5 The right motor has a short circuit to a battery connection. Contact your authorized Pride Provider.
6 The power chair is being inhibited by the battery charger. Unplug the battery charger.
7 A joystick fault is indicated. Make sure that the joystick is in the neutral (center) position before
turning on the controller.
8 A controller system fault is indicated. Make sure that all connections are secure.
9 The parking brakes have a bad connection. Check the parking brake and motor connections.
Make sure the controller connections are secure.
10 An excessive voltage has been applied to the controller. This is usually caused by a poor battery
connection. Check the battery connections.
