DESCRIPTION The Stratum Homelift is an inter floor lift that is designed for use by persons with impaired mobility travelling between fixed floor levels in private dwellings. With a maximum carrying capacity of one person, with or without a wheelchair (or 250kg), this lift is not intended for use as a means of transporting goods.
GENERAL DOS AND DON’TS • Never switch off the power supply to the lift, even when you go away. The lift control circuits are fed by a battery, which must be kept on constant charge. • The lift should always be returned to the lower level when not in use.

• Users with wheelchairs should apply the brakes on their chair and all other users should ensure they are using the seat provided before moving the lift. Do not travel in the lift unless seated. • Safety related components should only be adjusted and reset by a competent person.
CONTROLS AND OPERATION There are two wall mounted call stations, one at each level (Figure 2) and a similar control station fitted in the lift car. The lift can be isolated by using the optional remote isolate fob (Figure 3). When the lift is isolated, none of the control stations will function.

General operation Call the lift by pressing the up arrow or down arrow button on either call station and wait for it to stop. The door will automatically open. Enter the lift and press and release the door button to close it. Then press and release UP or DOWN on the control station.
SMOKE ALARM A smoke detection system has been installed on your lift. It has been designed to provide adherence to British Standard BS5900 2012 Section 9.13 “Behaviour of homelift in the event of fire”. The system utilises two smoke alarms one upper level, one lower level, which are wirelessly connected to the main circuit board on the lift (Figure 6).

When the Lift is stationary at either level If smoke is detected, the alarm will sound. After a period of time, all other smoke alarms connected to the system will then start to sound and the lift deactivates. When the Lift is travelling between levels If smoke is detected, the alarm will sound.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES In the event of a mains failure during travel, the battery backed control system of the lift will only allow normal operation in the down direction without loss of any safety features. This allows the user to exit the car at the lower level in the normal way. Emergency Manual Lowering IMPORTANT: During emergency manual lowering, the normal safety features...
