Technical manual Limit/stopping circuits The lift stops at the top and bottom of the stairs by way of magnetic reed switches, they are normally closed. When the lift reaches the end of the rail the switches will see the magnets positioned on the top side of the rail underneath the plastic cover.
Handicare 1000 Communications/power options The powered options work by the 125PCB being connected to the power options PCB via a ‘communication’ link. The link is through the grey wire on connector M12-1 on the 125PCB and the connector A16-3 on the power options PCB. Assuming no faults, this grey wire will have a resting voltage of between 8-11v.

S E R V I C E M A N U A L Service schedule Handicare 1000 Due to the design of the overspeed governor it functions correctly or fails in a safe condition. It is factory set and therefore no adjustment is required or allowed.
Surfaces that require lubrication during maintenance are stipulated in the handbook. When you use a grease other than that recommended by Handicare the mixture of the 2 grease types may result in inferior lubrication and hence extra wear.

Handicare 1000 Fault finding tools To aid in fault finding the following tools should be used. For example, if you have a ‘0’ fault code the issue could be in either the power pack or the seat. Insert the toggle loom (to be used in conjunction with the conversion loom) into the power pack, if the lift now drives then the problem is in the seat and the power pack can be eliminated as a potential fault location.
