Batteries

The printed circuit checks the status of the batteries. When the voltage of the batteries has been less than
20V= for more than 5 seconds, the lift will finish its ride to the next charge station. The lift cannot be used
for 2,5 hrs by the controls.
This is the minimum charging time, to charge the batteries for the next ride. If in the meantime, one of the
controls is used, the lift will start beeping and the led is blinking.
When after 2,5 hours the voltage is not up to 24V= the lift will fall in breakdown modus. The led in the
armrest is off and a visit of the engineer is necessary. Tip! Change the batteries with the power off, so the
lift does not remain in the charge modus.
Two chargers are delivered on rails longer than 15 meters.
The batteries shall be disposed of by the dealer as small chemical waste.
Safety
The power delivered by the battery can reach up to around 20 amperes. For this reason, avoid
short-circuiting. Be careful with steel watchstraps and tools: they could cause a short-circuit.
The Fuse
The fuse is incorporated in the wiring as close as possible to the battery.
The nominal value of the fuse is 30 Amp.
In view of the specified response time the fuse must always be replaced with an identical type.
Brand Littlefuse ATO 257 (magnr. E0006400).
