STAIR CLIMBER SOLIDSTATE CONTROLLER
The Stair Climber Solid State Controller is a fully solid state Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) controller.
Its advanced microprocessor based control implements a state-of the-art power MOSFET motor drive.
Advanced features provide improved functionality, smoother operation, reduced mechanical stress,
and protects against abuse and system faults.
ADVANTAGES
Reduced peak current reduces power loss in batteries, motor, and cabling.
Reduced peak current reduces battery stress, increased service life.
Reduced peak torque reduces mechanical stress, increasing service life of
Smooth operation "feel" by controlled acceleration and deceleration (motor voltage ramp-up and ramp-
down) eliminating jerkiness.
Automatically slows speed with heavy loads, improving control and safety.
Overload protection shuts off if lift load is too heavy.
Protects batteries by limiting minimum loaded voltage to 8.5 volts.
Internal protections for many types of internal and external faults.
Protects controller by inhibiting operation if battery voltage is to high.
Detects battery+ or battery- short to frame and inhibits motor operation.
Limits continuous operation to <30 seconds. Control wiring fault protection.
Alerts to low or excess control heating (from over-use).
Alerts to overload or excess continuous run time (control fault).
Alerts to battery+ or battery- short to frame.
Alerts to internal controller faults.
Low standby power of less than 20mA.

FAULT ALERTS
Faults are indicated by a buzzer producing a series of beeps to indictate various faults as follows:
One Beep
- Overload condition (too much weight on Unit) - Reduce Load
- Maximum run time (25-30sec.) exceeded - Release and re-apply switch
Two Beeps - Low Battery - Recharge Battery
Three Beeps - Battery+ or Battery- shorted to frame. HALT USE AND RETURN FOR REPAIR
System Fault - FAULTY UNIT -HALT USE AND RETURN FOR REPAIR
Four Beeps - Overheating due to excessive use (many minutes) - Allow five minutes to cool
8.5V - 14.4V
