Setting Up The Stairlift; Checks On Installation - vimec V65 B.I. Original Instructions Manual

13) SETTING UP THE STAIRLIFT

Power up the stairlift by connecting the connector (Fig.
28/d).
The display lights up, and the name "VIMEC V65"
appears:
- Press "enter".
- Press the " " arrow to scroll through the menu to the
"position" option.
- Press "enter".
- Press the " " arrow to scroll through the subroutine
to the "deceleration speed" option.
- Using the button on the on-board control panel, bring
the stairlift to the centre of the first bend.
- Press "enter" (to confirm).
This operation has to be repeated for all the bends in
the system.
- When complete, press "esc" and press the " " arrow
to access the "floor data" field in the "position"
subroutine.
- Press "enter".
- Use the down button of the on-board control panel
to locate at the height of the 1st intermediate stop (if
there are no intermediate stops, move on to the
"top floor position" section).
- Press "enter" on the console; the letter "A" starts to
flash. Press "enter" again and the letter "E" starts to
flash. Press "UP" or "DOWN", and the letter "L" starts
to flash. Press "enter"; the letter "L" stops flashing

floor position" menu and use the manual controls to
move to the top floor. Press "enter" 3 times to fix the
position corresponding to the top floor.
- Press "esc" to exit the subroutine.
- Press "esc" again to return to the main menu.

14) CHECKS ON INSTALLATION

- Check that all the stairlift's microswitches are correctly
positioned and functioning correctly, with reference to
the electrical wiring diagrams provided.
- Also check that all the controls are operating correctly.
a) Safety devices
Make sure that on contact with an obstacle the anti-
shearing sensors stop the stairlift, and the anti-collision
sensors stop the stairlift and allow it to be restarted in
the opposite direction.
Check that the limit switches stop the stairlift in the
required positions at the floors.
b) Electromagnetic brake
The electromagnetic brake on the motor must stop the
stairlift when fully loaded before the over-run device
is tripped. If necessary, replace the whole brake unit.
c) Drive mechanics
Check that the teeth of the drive sprockets and the
nylon wheels on which the stairlift runs are not worn
or damaged. There must be no grooves or flattening
on the wheels. Check the chain for wear.
d) Safety gear
Check that the hook device is free to operate without
friction or excessive clearances and that it trips the
safety microswitch correctly.
To check operation of the safety gear, proceed as
follows:
- Move the stairlift 1-2 metres from the floor.
- Disconnect the power supply by turning the master
switch to OFF.
- Remove the protective panel (Fig. 1/d).
- Press the safety gear hook with a plastic/wooden rod.
WARNING: Keep well away from all unpro-
tected moving parts.
- Restore the power supply and press the down button
until the hook engages. The stairlift will stop when the
safety microswitch is pressed by the hook.
- Reset the safety gear by moving the stairlift upward
in manual mode.
e) Stability of the rail
Check all the fixing screws of the connections to the
mounts and any expansion plugs present.
f) General checks
Check all moving parts, the guards, labels and signs.
Check the batteries and warning lights of both power
supply units.
