LiNXTM Controller
The LiNXTM 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 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
Before operating the LiNX controller, please read the following. These guidelines 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.
Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI)
WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic and radio frequency waves can
have an adverse effect 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, amateur radio (HAM)
transmitters, wireless computer links, microwave signals, paging transmitters, and medium-range
mobile transceivers used by emergency vehicles. In some cases, these waves can cause unintended
movement or damage to the control system. Every electrically powered mobility vehicle has an immunity
(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, electricity generators or high power
sources and other types of radio transmitters may cause unintended movement of your electrically
powered mobility vehicle due to EMI. Do not turn ON hand-held personal communication devices,
such as citizens band (CB) radios and cellular phones, while the powered wheelchair is turned
on. Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and avoid coming into close
proximity to them.
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 www.pridemobility.
com. If unintended motion or brake release occurs, turn your controller off as soon as it is safe
to do so. Contact your authorized Pride Provider to report the incident.

Figure 1. LiNX 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.
Keypad
The keypad is located directly in front of the
joystick. It contains keys that you will use to
control your power chair.
On/Off Key
The on/off key turns the system on and off and
also displays error codes. See “Error Codes.”
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 five 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, one left red LED will flash.
One Left Red LED Flashing (one segment illuminated): The battery charge is low; charge the
batteries as soon as possible.
Right-to-Left Ripple of LEDs (all segments illuminated): The controller is in lock mode; unlock
the controller.
Left-to-Right Ripple of LEDs Alternating with Steady Display (all segments illuminated): 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 Dial
The speed can be increased or decreased to one of 10 intervals by rotating the speed dial. Rotate
the speed adjustment dial to the left to decrease speed and to the right to increase speed. As a visual
reminder, a speed symbol is located above the speed dial.
Battery Condition Meter
The battery condition meter consists of five
LEDs arranged in an arc over the on/off and horn
keys. See figures 1 and 2. When functioning
as the battery condition meter, this indicates the
status of the electrical system using LED codes.
For example, as the battery voltage drops, the
number of LEDs reduces from right to left. When
the battery capacity drops to 10% or below, the
left red LED will flash.
Battery condition meter codes are as follows:
Left Red LED Flashing Slowly or Steady:
Battery charge is low; charge the batteries as
soon as possible.
Figure 2 Controller Light Segments
Red and Yellow LEDs Flashing: Battery charge is low; charge the batteries overnight.
LEDs Scroll From Left to Right: The controller is in inhibit or charging mode.
LEDs Ripple Side-to-Side Twice, then All LEDs Flash Quickly: The joystick was not in the center
