6  Charger/Programming Connections (Off-board & On-board) 
The controller has been designed to allow both Charging and Programming through the Molex 4-way connector. This connector 
can be used either directly or via a Neutrik NC3MX socket. 
In order to use a Neutrik socket the charger/programming loom should be wired as below. 
 
For both Off-board and On-board Charging, the maximum charging current is 9A rms. Refer to Section 3 of this chapter for pin-
out details of this connector.  
Do not exceed the maximum charging current of 9 A rms. Always use the PGDT specified charger 
connectors.  Failure  to  observe  these  conditions  could  result  in  poor  contact  resistance  in  the 
charger  connector  resulting  in  overheating  of  the  charger  plugs.  This  presents  a  potential  burn 
hazard  for  the  user.  PGDT  accepts  no  liability  for  losses  of  any  kind  arising  from  failure  to 
comply with this condition. Ensure that the charger plug pins are of the correct type. 
The scooter manufacturer must install a suitable fuse to protect the scooter’s wiring. PGDT recommends 
that the fuse is fitted as close as possible to the 4-way Molex connector. Failure to comply with this 
could result in a fire hazard. PGDT accepts no liability for losses of any kind arising from failure to 
comply with this condition. 
6.1  Inhibit 1 
The S-Drive Scooter Controller has 3 highly versatile inputs that can be configured to provide inhibit and speed limiting functions. 
These inputs are referred to as Inhibit 1, Inhibit 2 and Inhibit 3. Inhibit 1 input is located on the 4 way charger connector. 
If  this  Inhibit  is  not  to  be  used  PGDT  recommends  that  the  Inhibit  Speed  parameter  be  set  to 
100%. 
 
It is possible to connect the switch to 24V or 0V. 
Inhibit 1 is programmed primarily to detect a charger inhibit condition, such as an off board charger being connected to the 
scooter or an onboard charger being connected to the line. 
See the example in section 6.1.3 
Inhibit 1 input has 3 programmable parameters.
