9.0 USING THE HEARTWARE

9.1 Connector Layout

There are four connectors, two on either side of the controller (Figure 48). The power supply connections are
identical and are used to connect to any of the power sources (batteries, AC adapter or DC adapter). The controller
should always be connected to two power sources for safety. If only connected to one power source, the controller
will function but will sound an alarm after 20 seconds.
The driveline is connected to the silver connector (Figure 49). To connect the driveline to the controller, align the red
markings on both connections and push together. The driveline cover should completely cover the controller's silver
driveline connector to protect it and keep it clean. To disconnect the driveline, pull the driveline cover away from the
silver controller connector, then pull the driveline connector from the silver controller connector.
To remove the driveline from the controller, first pull back the driveline cover then grasp and pull the driveline
◗ ◗
connector. DO NOT grasp the driveline cable as this may damage the driveline.
The monitor cable attaches to the blue data port connector on the controller. To connect, align the white arrow with the
white dot and push the two halves until the connector locking mechanism latches. To disconnect, twist the connector
counterclockwise and pull the two connectors apart.
