Electronics Tray
The electronics tray is located on the back of the power base. See figures 6 and 7. The ammeter, the onboard
charger AC 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 V. “Batteries and Charging.”
Onboard Battery Charger AC Power Cord: This is where the charger power cord plugs into the onboard
charger.
Main Circuit Breaker: The main circuit breaker is a safety feature built into your Jazzy. When the batter-
ies 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 Jazzy 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 con-
nectors (Not Shown).
Charger Inhibit Connector: The VSI controller is equipped with a charger inhibit connector. The charger
inhibit enables the onboard 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 harness, 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 System
Your power chair is equipped with an Active-Trac System (ATS). ATS is a suspension system designed to
make your Jazzy traverse different types of terrain and obstacles while maintaining smooth operation. With
ATS, your front anti-tip wheels work in conjunction with your motor suspension to help you maneuver
over obstacles in excess of three inches in height.
As your front anti-tip wheels come in contact with an obstacle, the front anti-tip wheel assembly is drawn
upward. At the same time, your motors are forced downward. This allows the motors to push your 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, your Jazzy
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 center wheel drive chairs.
