DYNAMIC CONTROLLER  
TheDynamic controller is a modular electronic controller system that allows you to  
operate your power chair. It is designed to allow the user to have complete control  
over chair movement and speed.  
The controller is available in both 50-amp and 60-amp configurations, and has  
been pre-programmed to meet a typical user’s needs. The program is set using  
either a personal computer with software provided by the controller manufacturer  
or with a hand-held programmer, also provided by the controller manufacturer.  
WARNING! The controller program can affect speed,  
acceleration, deceleration, dynamic stability, and braking.  
If it is programmed incorrectly or outside of the safe limits  
as determined by your healthcare professional, it can create  
a dangerous situation. Only the power chair manufacturer,  
an authorized representative of the manufacturer, or a trained  
service technician should program the controller.  
PRECAUTIONARY GUIDELINES  
BeforeoperatingtheDynamiccontroller, pleasereadthefollowing.Theseguidelines  
are provided for your benefit and will aid you in the safe operation of the controller  
system.  
! Turn off the power to the controller when transferring to or from your power  
chair.  
! Follow all of the procedures and heed the warnings as explained in your power  
chair owner’s manual.

Basic Operation Instructions  
Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI)  
WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic  
and radio frequency waves can have an adverse affect on  
the performance of electrically-powered mobility vehicles.  
Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference can come from sources such as  
cellular phones, mobile two-way radios (such as walkie-talkies), radio stations, TV  
stations, amateurradio(HAM)transmitters, wirelesscomputerlinks, microwavesig-  
nals, pagingtransmitters, andmedium-rangemobiletransceiversusedbyemergency  
vehicles. In some cases, these waves can cause unintended movement or damage to  
thecontrolsystem. Everyelectrically-poweredmobilityvehiclehasanimmunity(or  
resistance) to EMI. The higher the immunity level, the greater the protection against  
EMI. This product has been tested and has passed at an immunity level of 20 V/m.  
WARNING! Be aware that cell phones, two-way radios,  
laptops, and other types of radio transmitters may cause  
unintended movement of your electrically-powered mobility  
vehicle due to EMI. Exercise caution when using any of these  
items while operating your mobility vehicle and avoid coming  
into close proximity of radio and TV stations.  
WARNING! The addition of accessories or components to  
the electrically-powered mobility vehicle can increase the  
susceptibility of the vehicle to EMI. Do not modify your power  
chair in any way not authorized by Pride.  
WARNING! The electrically-powered mobility vehicle itself  
can disturb the performance of other electrical devices  
located nearby, such as alarm systems.  
NOTE: For further information on EMI/RFI, go to the Resource Center on  
your controller off as soon as it is safe to do so. Contact Pride or your autho-  
rized Pride Provider to report the incident.

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.

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.

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.

OFF-BOARD CHARGER/PROGRAMMING SOCKET  
You may use an off-board charger to charge the power chair batteries through the  
3-pin socket located on the front of the Dynamic controller. If you use an off-  
board charger, the charger current should not exceed 8 amps. Contact your au-  
thorized Pride Provider for more information.  
WARNING! Only chargers with Neutrik NC3MX plugs should  
be connected to the off-board charger/programming socket.  
See your authorized Pride Provider for more information.  
NOTE: The socket may also be used for reprogramming the Dynamic con-  
troller. Contact your authorized Pride Provider for more information.

10 seconds. The controller is now unlocked.  
NOTE: If you do not press the horn key twice before the countdown is  
complete, the system will beep and the Dynamic controller will turn itself  
off. The unlock sequence must be completed successfully before the Dy-  
namic controller will operate again.  
ACTUATOR ADJUSTMENT  
The Dynamic controller can control two actuators using the mode key and the  
joystick. The active actuator is indicated by an illuminated actuator LED. See  
figure 4, 5, or 6.  
To select and adjust an actuator:  
1. Press the on/off key to power on the controller.  
2. Press the actuator select key once to select  
ActuatorAdjustment Mode.Actuator 1 will be  
active as noted by the amber “1” indicator.

Basic Operation Instructions  
SLEEP MODE (IF ENABLED)  
The power chair controller features a sleep mode. Sleep mode is a built-in circuit  
that will automatically shut off the main power if the joystick is not moved in any  
direction for a period of time. This time factor is programmed into the controller.  
To restore power and continue, push any key on the keypad.  
OUT OF NEUTRAL AT POWER UP (OONAPU)  
Your power chair joystick is equipped with Out Of Neutral At Power Up  
(OONAPU). If you power up the system and the joystick is not in the neutral  
position, all of the lights in the speed setting indicator will flash rapidly for as long  
as the joystick is out of the neutral position.Allow the joystick to return to the  
neutral position and the fault will clear.  
ERROR CODES  
Theservice indicator will flash error codes whenthe Dynamic controller detects an  
abnormal condition in the electrical system. The service indicator will flash a num-  
ber of times quickly, then pause, then flash again. The service indicator will con-  
tinue to flash the error codes until the problem is fixed. The following table identi-  
fies the individual error codes. If any of these error codes persist or if you experi-  
ence any other problem with your power chair, contact your authorized Pride  
Provider.  
NOTE: When the service indicator flashes an error, the battery condition  
meter LEDs will also flash an inhibit. See “Battery Condition Meter.”
