Troubleshooting 

 
The 

seat does not react at all from the call station or the armrest control

 

  Check if LED 24 is on. If not the safety circuit is broken (swivel seat switch, 

overspeed switch and ultimate stop switch) 

  Check if the overspeed governor is not engaged. If engaged LED 16-23 is off. 

  Check if the ultimate stop switch is pressed. If pressed LED 17-23 is off. 

  Check if the seat is in the correct position and not rotated. The seat swivel switch 

must not be pressed! If it is pressed LED 18-23 is off. 

 

The 

seat does only react from the remote call stations but not from the armrest 

control joystick

 

  Check if the armrest is folded down correctly and if the key switch in the armrest is 

turned on. 

 

The 

seat does only react from the armrest control and not from the control stations

  

  Check if the LED on the external control shows a blinking green light. If the lift is 

blinking orange then the receiver does not receive the signal. If it is blinking green it 
is receiving correctly. 

  If you press the drive up or down button the LED 8 or 9 should come on. If not the 

board does not receive the drive command from the receiver. 

 

The 

seat drives only in 1 direction

 

  Check the LED 25 and 26. If one of the 2 LEDs is off then the contact pads on the 

drive unit or the trolley are blocked in the driving direction that is not working. 

 

The 

lift makes a beeping sound (out of charging sound) although it is located in the 

charging station and LED 6 is OFF 

  Check that the charging pin in correctly in contact with the copper charging plate on 

the charging station. 

  Measure if the board receives the ground from the rail (it is transmitted through the 

drive pinion in the chassis) through the fixing screws of the board to the chassis. 

 

The 

lift makes a being sound (every 2,5 second – low battery voltage)

 is located in or 

outside the charging station 

  Check if LED 1 is on. If not this indicates weak battery voltage.
