Dynamic Controller Components and Connections Dynamic Controller Basic Operation Instructions OPERATING THE DYNAMIC CONTROLLER The Dynamic controller is used to operate your power chair and all of its components. The Dynamic controller consists of (see figure 2): 1. joystick 2. keypad 3. off-board charger/programming socket 4. controller connector 5. power module 2 3 4 5 1 Figure 2. Dynamic Controller Joystick Control The joystick controls the direction and speed of your power chair. When you move the joystick from the neutral (center) position, the electromagnetic brakes release and allow your power chair to move. The farther you push the joystick from its neutral position, the faster your power chair moves. When you release the joystick and allow it to return to the neutral position, you engage the electromagnetic brakes. This causes your power chair to decelerate and come to a complete stop.

Dynamic Controller 8-key Keypad Figure 6. Dynamic Controller 9-key Keypad Dynamic Controller Basic Operation Instructions Keypad The keypad is located directly in front of the joystick. It contains keys that you will use to control your power chair. See figure 2. On/Off Key The on/off key turns the system on and off. WARNING! Unless faced with an emergency situation, do not use the on/off key to stop the chair. This will cause the power chair to stop abruptly. WARNING! Always turn the power off when you are stationary to prevent unexpected movement. NOTE: If the joystick is not in the neutral (center) position when you turn on the power, you may cause a fault in the system. See “Out Of Neutral At Power Up (OONAPU).” Horn Key The horn key activates a warning horn. Battery Condition Meter The battery condition meter consists of eight lights arranged in an arc over the on/ off key.As the battery voltage drops, the number of lights reduces from right to left. When the battery capacity drops to 10% or below, the left red LED will flash. • Left Red LED Flashing: The battery charge is low; charge the batteries as soon as possible. • Right-to-Left Ripple of LEDs: The controller is in lock mode; unlock the controller. • Left-to-Right Ripple of LEDs Alternating with Steady Display: The controller is in programming, inhibit, or charging mode. When the joystick is moved, the speed gauge will also flash. Dynamic Controller Basic Operation Instructions Speed Keys There are two keys that control the speed. Press the speed increase key to increase the speed. Press the speed decrease key to decrease the speed. The speed setting is displayed on the speed setting indicator. If your power chair was programmed with a drive profile, contact your authorized Pride Provider for more information. NOTE: We recommend that the first few times you operate your power chair, you set the speed to the slowest setting until you become familiar with your new power chair. Speed Setting Indicator The speed setting indicator indicates the current speed of your power chair. The speed setting indicator consists of 16 lights arranged clockwise around the horn key. As the speed of the power chair increases, the number of lights increases. There are five larger LEDs which represent 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% of the power chair’s maximum speed. Press the speed decrease key or speed increase key once to adjust the speed in the five larger increments. Press and hold the the speed decrease key or speed increase key to adjust the speed in individual increments. NOTE: When the bottom, left-most green LED is flashing, it indicates that the controller is in speed limit mode. Service Indicator The service indicator displays Dynamic controller error codes.
