12. Safety devices
12.1. Safety barriers and access ramp
Safety barriers and access ramps (cf. Figure 5, Pos. 9 and 10) prevent persons on the stairlift
from falling off.
12.2. Side switch-off
To prevent the risk of crushing, our platform stairlifts are equipped with a side switch-off (see
Figure 5, Pos.16) on each side, which reacts in the direction of travel.
12.3. Safety catch
The safety catch (cf. Figure 5, Pos.18) prevents the platform stairlift from sliding down the track
if a drive element is destroyed.
12.4. Contact base
The contact base (see Figure 5, Pos.12) ensures that the lift system stops if there is an
obstacle under the platform on the way down.
12.5. Contact switch on the access ramps
Switches mounted on the platform prevent a strong collision between an obstacle and the
access ramps (cf. Figure 5, Pos.10). As soon as a switch reacts, the stairlift stops immediately.
12.6. Emergency stop button
If the emergency stop button (cf. Figure 1, Pos. 6) is pressed during travel, the lift stops
immediately and a signal tone sounds. To release the emergency stop, turn the knob anti-
clockwise.
12.7. Emergency call via acoustic signal on the lift
An acoustic signal can be generated via the buttons marked in yellow (cf. Figure 1, Pos. 5),
which are provided with Braille lettering.
