  • Page 8: Safety Instructions

    Safety Instructions The lift may only be connected to alternating current and must be installed in accordance with IEC 60364. Installation of the lift system shall only be carried out by a certified and trained dealer. The voltage must correspond with the type plate on the control box. Never engage the lift when persons or animals are in the spa or in the lift movement area.
  • Page 9: Lift Overview

    (optional) System description The foldaway lift controller is designed for driving two self locking 24V DC actuators in parallel by applying pulse width modulated signals (PWM) at a frequency of 16kHz. This high frequency gives the systems it´s high efficiency, low noise and low power stage loss.

    Lock The smart key is magnetically coded and key to any lift operation. When pulled the foldaway lift system is locked and the safety controller will ignore any attempt of lift engagement. A white orientation light will illuminate the docking area during night.
  • Page 11: Safety Controller

    Danger areas The foldaway lift system is able to detect certain objects in areas with a potential risk of injury. Depending on programmed parameters the lift setup can be less sensitive to small objects e.g.

  • Page 13: Manual Stop

    Upon reaching the programmed end position in open direction, the lift stops with a time ramp in order to prevent cover teeter. The foldaway lift system moves the cover within approx. 30 sec into the programmed end position. While the motors run the illumination of the dock changes to yellow. The foldaway controller...
  • Page 14: Maintenance

    Maintenance Inspect your cover periodically. Do not use a suspect cover system. Perform a visual check periodically, specially of the cover carriage mechanism. The front cover should be slightly tilted towards the spa front as soon as the back cover comes to full rest.

    On board diagnose system (status LED on pcb) In addition to the diagnose routine in the foldaway app the qualified technician has a hardware diagnose system implemented in the foldaway controller circuit board: If the smart key panel illuminates continuous blue, the on-board diagnose system allows a more detailed identification of the occurred fault: # flashes...
  • Page 16: Manual Lift Alignment

    Manual alignment Under normal conditions there is no need to manual align the system. Autohome eliminates minor synchronization errors and deviations in position sensor data during each closing. However - a manual alignment can be initiated by turning the smart key clockwise approx. 180 degrees (3 short beep) and back within 2 seconds to the original position.
  • Page 17: Questions & Answers

    What is wrong when,…. Q: My lift stops when closing the spa as soon as the rear cover settles down ? A: The stop nut in the carriage mechanism is not adjusted correctly. The controller misinterprets the wrong tilted front cover as an obstacle since the cover does not move down freely. Use an allen key to adjust the stop nut inside the carbon support: The setup is correct when the forward cover, when laterally viewed is a few degrees tilted towards the front spa panel when the back cover rests flat on the spa shell.
  • Page 18 QR card on page 28, alignment required section ________________________________________________________________________ Q: My foldaway lifts the mid section of the cover before the front cover raises. A: The front cover sticks to the spa shell e.g. after a longer period of not using the spa or in cold environment when moisture between the cover and the spa freezes.
