Glossary of Terms
Infra-red remote control - The stairlift can be 'called' or 'sent' up or down the stairs by using a remote control similar to a TV remote control.
- This means that the stairlift does not trail an electrical cable behind it, but is self-powered. The battery charges when the stairlift is at rest and a fully charged battery will power 15-20 trips up and down the stairs.
- The up and down motion of the stairlift is operated by a single, simple toggle switch on the arm of the chair.
- Any (rare) faults with the stairlift are displayed digitally as a number or letter, providing clear and simple information for users and engineers.
- The upward and downward movement begins smoothly and slowly, without jarring or sudden stops.
- The stairlift can be locked with a key so that others (children, for example) cannot use it. The stairlift continues to charge when locked.
- The seat of the stairlift turns for ease of access at the top or bottom of the stairs, and locks to prevent accidental slipping.
- When not in use, the seat and footrest of the stairlift can be folded away to provide easy access to the stairway.
- special sensors in the stairlift tell it where to stop and start, and prevent it from moving if an object obstructs it.
- double safety systems mean that the stairlift is unable to descend unexpectedly or at speed.
- the track uses this secure rail structure to provide smooth and stable movement up and down the stairs.
- Controls the speed of the stairlift to prevent sudden or rapid descent.
