Light Sequence Status Action
* * * Controller Powered Down Battery is disconnected or completely drained.
[ Instructions for fitting new batteries]
* * * NORMAL OPERATION Batteries fully charged, lift in correct travelling position, all power connected, ready for use.
* * * Not charging If the lift is mid-track, send the lift to either end of the track over one of the charge points. If lift continues with this code: Check the transformer is plugged in and switched on. Check the charge point at the other end of the track; Check the charge point plungers on the carriage are not stuck in.
* * * OSG OverSpeed Governor has been activated. Locate the hand-winding wheel (gray mushroom shaped object approx. 5" in diameter, generally left under the rail on one of the stair treads). Prise out white disk on the carriage next to the red plug (a blunt knife or screwdriver may be required). Place hand-winding wheel into the hole and wind the carriage up the stairs (turn the wheel clockwise - do NOT turn anti-clockwise) maximum of ten turns until the red LED goes out and the green one comes on. Take the hand-winding wheel out of the hole and send the lift to the top of the rail and run it back down again just to check everything is ok.
* * * Seat swivel Seat not in ride position or micro switch is jammed or needs to be adjusted. Check the seat is locked in the ride position (the back of the seat should be against the wall the lift runs up).
Seat in ride position
Sit on the lift, press the swivel lever and turn the seat a few degrees then twist the seat back into the correct position.
Seat not in ride position
Press the seat swivel lever and turn seat so it is in the ride position (as stated above).
* * * Key switch Check the lift is switched on at key under the control arm. Try and pull the key out of lock. If it does not pull out the lift is switched on. If it pulls out, place the key back in the lock and turn it clockwise. If the red LED does not go out, it requires a visit by an engineer.
* * * Final Limit reached
Lift at top
Locate the hand-winding wheel (gray mushroom shaped object approx. 5" in diameter, generally left under the rail on one of the stair treads). Prise out white disk on the carriage next to the red plug (a blunt knife or screwdriver may be required). Place hand-winding wheel into the hole and wind the lift down the track (turn anti-clockwise). Take the hand-winding wheel out and run the lift down the track and back up to check the lift is ok.
Lift at bottom
Locate the hand-winding wheel (gray mushroom shaped object approx. 5" in diameter, generally left under the rail on one of the stair treads). Prise out white disk on the carriage next to the red plug (a blunt knife or screwdriver may be required). Place hand-winding wheel into the hole and wind the lift up the track (turn clockwise). Take the hand-winding wheel out and run the lift down the track and back up to check the lift is ok.
Lift mid track
Check the limit switches. The switches are located under the carriage just above the rail and are made of brass with a small wheel on each of them. All limit switches should be level (fully extended) when off the limit ramps on the track. If any of the switches are raised, push switch down with a screwdriver, so it is level with the others.
* * * Foot-Switch - down side These are safety features that stop the lift if it hits any object. There are three on the footrest and two on the carriage itself. The lifts location determines which edges have been activated. Check for obstructions and if none, check the safety edges are moving freely.
Lift at top
To check down safety edges, depress footrest safety edge furthest from stair nose with the heel of the hand then fold the footrest up and depress the center of the underside. Next, run hand up the track until it touches the carriage and depress safety edge found at this point. All safety edges are spring loaded and should move freely.
Lift at bottom
To check up safety edges, depress footrest safety edge closest to stair with the heel of the hand, then run hand down the track until it touches the carriage and depress the safety edge found at this point. All safety edges are spring loaded and should move freely.
Lift mid track
Check all safety edges
* * * Foot-Switch - up side
* * * Safety Cover Switch - up side
* * * Safety Cover Switch - down side
* * * Battery Fault
Batteries flat
Lift has been run until battery is flat. Lift will attempt to reach charge point at half speed and then charge for 40 minutes before moving again
Over charged
The battery volts are above 31 volts so the charger is damaged. Ask the customer to toggle the lift. If it will still not go, requires visit by an engineer.
* * * Brake Fault Brake not disengaging. Try the toggle switch. If it will still not go there is a board fault. Requires visit by an engineer.
* * * Motor Fault Either: 25A fuse has blown; the motor has been connected incorrectly; the motor is damaged or the power section on the board has been damaged. Requires visit by an engineer.
