Guidelines for fault finding
- Multiple controls communicate with the stairlift receiver board. If one of the controls no longer
works, the fault is in the control. If none of them works any longer, the fault is in the stairlift.
- Hold a control close to the antennas on the receiver board. If the control then works, the signal
is weak or the signal is being disrupted.
- Check the batteries in the control.
- Check the direction and the connection of the antennas on the receiver board.
- There are two antennas mounted on the receiver board. Adjust these antennas so that they do
not touch the frame. Shorting to the frame can be a reason for poor communication.
