VSI Error Codes
The VSI controller is equipped with a self diagnostics system that allows the user
to identify possible malfunctions. The table below identifies the individual error
codes (codes are displayed as a rapid flashing of lights). If you get one of
these error codes, contact an authorized Zip'r Provider.
Thermal Rollback
The VSI controller is equipped with a thermal rollback circuit. In the event that
the VSI controller becomes excessively hot (above 140 degrees F), motor current
is reduced. This will reduce your Zip'r PC’s “power,” which could also reduce
your Zip'r PC’s speed. Once the VSI controller reaches 158 degrees F, the
current output is reduced to zero and your Zip'r PC will stop. This allows all of the
components to cool down. When the temperature returns to a safe level, your
Zip'r PC will resume its normal operations.
