The general safety edge prevents the lift from moving further in both directions. The LED on the armrest
flashes when the joystick is moved in either direction if the safety edge is obstructed.
The following switches have been included in the general safety edge:

in the direction that is blocked. However, the lift can still be moved in the
opposite direction to remove the block. To indicate a fault, the LED on the
armrest is dim, but starts to flash when the joystick is moved in the
direction that is blocked.
