DESCRIPTION

The Harmony Homelift ‘N’ 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, this lift is not intended for use as a means of
transporting goods.

The lift is designed to operate without a lift shaft and is provided
with an automatic infill panel which makes the ceiling aperture
safe when the lift is parked downstairs.

An optional telephone can be supplied in the car for emergency
communication.

A standard feature is the provision of half hour fire rated panels in
both the aperture infill and the car underpan.

The lift car panels are made from powder coated steel which can
easily be cleaned using normal household cleaners. Upholstery
is made from PVC and can be cleaned in the same way.

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”.

GENERAL DO’S 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. If
it is left upstairs for prolonged periods, it will occasionally re-level itself
depending on conditions. The lift must be left at the lower level if the
mains is turned off.

• If your lift is fitted with a manual door always close it after use. Powered
door units have a self closer. Do not pull or push the automatic door.

• Never allow children to play in, under or around the lift. If children are in
the house, isolate the lift using the optional remote control fob, see pg 8.

• Ensure that the area under the lift is kept clear. The underpan surface is
fitted with sensors, which automatically stop the lift if it strikes an object
(see Fig.1).

• Always keep your emergency door release key and key fob in the lift or in
a safe place near the lift.

• Do not place any object on the aperture infill or stand on it when the
lift is in operation. Ensure that as far as practical, the area around the
travelling infill panel is clear of persons (particularly children) when the lift
is being operated. This is to ensure there is no danger of them falling into
the car when the lift is in use. The infill panel is fitted with sensors that
automatically stop the lift if the infill panel is obstructed (see Fig.1)

• Do not use this lift for anything other than transporting those with
impaired mobility between fixed floor levels

• Do not lean over the car sides or door. These are fitted with safety edges
which will stop the lift if activated.

• Always treat your lift with respect that should be shown to electrical and
mechanical equipment.

• 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 (see
Fig.2) and a similar control station fitted in the lift car. The lift can
be isolated by using the optional remote control fob. When the lift
is isolated, none of the control stations will function. The call and
control stations can only be activated by using the remote fob.
When the lift is activated, the coloured indicator lights in the car
will illuminate. The lights in the car will switch on automatically
when any call or control button is pressed and will automatically
turn off after a few minutes.

Once the lift has been stopped it cannot be restarted for 3
seconds.

Users with wheelchairs should apply the brakes on their chair
and all other users should ensure they are using the seat
provided before starting the lift.

General operation

Call the lift by pressing the UP or DOWN 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. The
lift will travel uninterrupted to the next floor. If the lift does not
start, check that the door is properly closed and try again. Always
close the door after using the lift by pressing the DOOR button on
the wall mounted call station. The lift should always be returned
to the lower level when not in use.

In the event that the normal controls fail to work, emergency
controls can be found under the flap above the mirror. Green is
‘UP’, red is ‘STOP’, black is ‘DOWN’ and white is ‘DOOR’. See
Fig.3

When outside the car, in an emergency the door can be opened
by pressing the front end of the side safe edge, on the corner
where the door opens (See Fig.3a).
