SPEED AND RESPONSE ADJUSTMENT
The Pilot controller may be equipped with a speed and response adjustment
knob that allows you to select the speed and response settings best suited to
your requirements and environment. See figure 18. When you increase the
speed (clockwise) or decrease the speed (anticlockwise), appropriate changes
are automatically made to the sensitivity.
NOTE: We recommend that the first few times you operate
your power chair, you turn the speed and response adjust-
ment knob to the slowest setting until you become familiar
with your new power chair.
BATTERY CONDITION LIGHTS
The battery condition lights are located immediately in front of the joystick.
This enables you to monitor battery life. The battery condition lights indicates
the approximate amount of battery life left.
l
Red, yellow, and green bars indicate that the batteries are fully
charged.
l
Red and yellow bars indicate that you should charge the batteies.
l
Red bars indicate that you should charge the batteries as soon
as possible, because low battery voltage may cause your power
chair to become inoperative.
NOTE: When the batteries approach a discharged state, the
first red bar will begin to slowly flash, reminding you the bat-
teries need to be charged immediately!
CHARGER INHIBIT CONNECTOR
The charger inhibit connector on the utility tray is coded with colored dots.
The dots are positioned so that you align the flat side of the male connector
with the flat side of the female connector before making the connection. See
figure 4.
CAUTION! Failure to properly align the connectors can result
in damage to the controller, the charger harness, and the con-
nectors.
THERMAL ROLLBACK
The Pilot controller is equipped with a thermal rollback circuit. This circuit
monitors the temperature of the motors and the controller. In the event that
the motors or the controller become excessively hot (above 50C/122F), the
controller reduces the motor voltage. For every degree above 50C/122F,
the controller reduces the voltage by 5 volts. This reduces your power chairís
speed and allows the electrical components to cool down. When the tem-
perature returns to a safe level, your power chair resumes its normal speed.
