PILOT CONTROLLER
The Pilot controller is an integral electronic controller. All of the electronics necessary to operate the power chair are
contained in one module. See figure 22a.
The Pilot consists of:
1. joystick
2. on/off button
3. battery condition meter
4. speed control knob
5. off-board charger/programming socket
6. 9-pin controller connector
7. 3-pin charger inhibit connector
Typically, the Pilot is mounted to one of the armrests
and is connected to the motors, batteries, and the
onboard charger at the electronics tray.
Joystick
The joystick controls the direction and speed of your
power chair. When you move the joystick from the neu-
tral (center) position, the electromagnetic brakes release
and allow your power chair to move. The further 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 netural position, you engage the
electromagnetic brakes. This causes your power chair
to decelerate and come to a complete stop.
WARNING! If your power chair begins to move in an unexpected manner, immediately release
the joystick. Unless the joystick is damaged, this action should stop your power chair.
On/Off Button
This is a green button located in front of the joystick. It turns the Pilot on and off.
WARNING! Unless faced with an emergency situation, do not use the on/off push button 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.
