Main switch
The main switch (red key) is located inside the platform, behind the cover (
p.7,
8/item 11
). The key can be removed by turning it anti-clockwise, thus interrupting the
electricity supply. (See 4.7.1 or 4.7.3 regarding the opening of the cover). The main
switch must be actuated by technical personnel.
Deep discharge protector and charging
The T80 platform lifts are equipped with automatic battery chargers. Charging takes
place automatically when the platform lift drives into a loading station. The batteries
do not require any care.
All T80 platform lifts are equipped with an acoustic deep discharge protector. This
acoustic signal generator is intended to protect the batteries against deep discharge.
If the battery voltage drops below 22 V, a beep sounds at intervals of approx. 5
seconds. In this case you should drive immediately to the next charging station – if
possible the lower charging station – and allow the lift to charge up there for several
hours (this takes place automatically in the charging station). The beep stops after
proper charging. The sound can be turned off by pressing the emergency stop button;
this has no influence on the charging process.
Overload protector
The T80 platform lift is equipped with an overload protector (acoustic and visual). In
the case of the metal hood, the orange light on the hood (
p.7/item L2
) lights
disappears; in the case of the plastic hood the background lighting of the direction
arrows goes out (
p.8/item 1
). In addition, the internal beeper emits a continuous tone
in the case of overload. This is based on the entire load being in the centre of the base
of the platform. Reduce the weight if the overload protector is triggered. It may be
sufficient just to shift the weight towards the running rail.
Battery charger
(indicator lamps)
The indicator lamps on the battery charger indicate the respective condition of the
battery charger. A distinction must thereby be made between two different versions
of battery charger. The main distinguishing feature is the number of LEDs.

Note: An acoustic signal sounds if the lift, outside a station, is not charged 30
seconds after the last motor movement.
