Remote control handsets
Radio frequency remote control
If the stairlift is fitted with radio frequency remote
handsets they will automatically program
themselves to the lift when first powered on.
Some large multi-storey installations may require
RF repeaters to be installed in order to ensure a
strong and constant control signal reaches the lift
at all points along its travel. Handicare's drawing
team will normally be able to determine if RF and
repeaters will be required based on the staircase
length and configuration and therefore an
appropriate number of repeaters will be supplied.
RF repeaters can also be requested as a spare to
fit retrospectively to a site if required.
If necessary the RF handsets can be
programmed as follows:
1 Turn on the stairlift power – the receiver lights
blink then should go solid green. (By default
the dip switches should be OFF-OFF. The
dipswitches on the receiver PCB and handset
must match).
2 Hold the remote control handset near to
the lift.
3 Remove the cover from the power pack.
4 Press and hold the red button on the main
PCB – a yellow LED will illuminate on the PCB.
5 Press the up direction on the handset and the
yellow light will go out.
6 Programming is complete.
7 Test that the handsets have programmed
correctly by pressing the up and down button
on each and checking that the lift moves in
the corresponding direction.
Note: If a second stairlift using RF handsets
is fitted in close proximity to the first the
dipswitches on the handsets and receiver
board for that lift must be set to ON-ON.

Positioning the RF repeaters
The RF handsets have a built in signal strength
indicator; when the signal is strong the green led
lights, the orange led indicates an acceptable
signal strength, whilst the red led shows that the
lift is out of range.
1 Drive the lift up from the bottom of the stairs
until the red led shows on the handset.
2 Position a RF repeater in the nearest
appropriate point approximately one metre
back down the stairs from where the lift has
stopped.
3 The repeaters are powered via the red cable
in the bottom track rail. Find the nearest
pre-drilled hole in the track and splice into
the cable.
4 The positive connection comes from the
red cable in the track. The negative must be
connected back to the rail in the same way
as the standard negative connection is made
(see page 10).
5 Run the two core cable to the repeater and
connect to either pair of positive and negative
terminals.
6 The RF repeater does not need to be in sight
of either the stairlift or remote handset so the
RF repeaters can be positioned discreetly, for
example behind the track.
7 The repeaters will automatically register with
the RF board in the lift.
8 Repeat steps 1 to 6 for any further repeaters
required until the lift can travel the full distance
of the rail.
