Things to remember...
Please adhere to the following health and safety considerations when on site

 Always be aware of the status of power to the lift when working with the Control System and
the accompanying harnesses - although the stairlift operates at 24V, a short circuit can still
cause damage to the system, and indirectly to yourself.
 MediTek advise that the lift is switched OFF during maintenance where possible to avoid
accidental movement due to snagging on the toggle switch etc.
 Always ensure that MediTek-sourced parts are used for maintenance/replacement.
 Always ensure that wiring is insulated if required to reduce risk of short.
 Always ensure that tools are moved well away from the lift before testing the install.
 Wear gloves/safety boots and safety goggles etc wherever applicable.
 Consider the rail to be a major tripping hazard - take extra care when stepping over the rail
to fasten cleats etc.
 Take care not to get limbs trapped within/behind the stairlift whilst carrying out install or
maintenance.
 Be careful during drilling/sawing/filing of the rail, and ensure any offcuts/swarf are
removed from site.
 When using a Stanley blade, cut AWAY from the body where possible.

DO NOT bypass any safety features of the MediTek stairlift. If there is a problem with the
stairlift during install, contact MediTek Technical Support who will assist you on site.

Site preparation

Examine the stairs/hallway before bringing any of the stairlift items into the building.
Look for and remove any items that are likely to be damaged or pose a tripping hazard during
installation.

Remove any picture frames etc from the stairway if they are likely to be caught by the seat during
travel.
Examine any window sills etc that may cause issues for the seat travel and bear these in mind
when fitting the rail during installation.

Identify any damage already present to wallpaper and walls, window sills, doors, skirting boards,
carpets and flooring etc. Point these out to the client before installation and obtain a signed
disclaimer if necessary.

Once satisfied, bring the lift components into the property - if there is lack of room, bring in the
components as needed. Check the components satisfy the kit boxes etc detailed in this guide.

Important Information

Energy Saving Lightbulbs

It is worth bearing in mind that energy saving light bulbs can radiate vast
amounts of interference on the IR spectrum as they come to the end of
their life, potentially interfering with electronic goods which make use of IR
receivers for operation. Please ensure new energy saving bulbs are used
within close proximity of the stairlift.

Spindle Staircase Warning

If the stairlift is to be installed on either side of a spindle

staircase then this area MUST be fully closed off (using
plywood / Perspex etc). This is to prevent access to the
rear of the lift, as well as removing the risk of it being a
trapping hazard

Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive

According to the Waste of Electrical and Electronic

Equipment (WEEE) Directive, WEEE should be separately collected and
treated.

If at any time in the future you dispose of this stairlift please do NOT do so
with your household waste. The stairlift must be taken to your local civic
amenity site for correct disposal.

If a fused or switched spur is to be fitted for the power

supply to the lift the following specification must be
adhered to:
 The switched fused spur must comply with IEC
60947-3 or equivalent standards and must provide
a 3mm gap between contacts
 Installation of spur is to be by an NICEIC registered
contractor (requirement by local authorities) and
work to be accompanied by a minor electrical works
certificate issued in accordance with BS 7671
requirements for electrical installations.

If using a standard 3 pin plug to connect the stairlift to the main, ensure
the fuse is 3A rather than the common default of 13A

The Survey: (Examination & Preparation Of The Installation Site)

We recommend before starting the installation that a quick check of the installation site is carried
out (to ensure that there are no hazards and that the survey has been taken accurately). This will
include:

 Check for any tripping hazzards

 Bulkhead clearance
 Pipe locations
 Existing electrical cables
 Window sills
 Radiators
 Newel posts
 Staircase width
 Handrails
 Doorway at bottom end of rail (hinged rail required if obstruction caused)

We also recommend checking the customer‘s property for any significant damage that already
exists and identifying this to the customer prior to the installation taking place.

 Ensure the top and bottom boarding points are sufficiently lit (minimum of 50 lux)

 On stairlifts with public access, an International Symbol of Access - ISA, Symbol No. 0100
of ISO 7000:2004 shall be displayed at each boarding point. The height of the symbol can
not be less than 50 mm.

Note this Install Guide is to be used in conjunction with EN8140:2008 Annex C - Guidance in Selection of
Stairlifts during survey of the stairlift site

A Note on Jointed Rails

When a jointed rail is received, the charging strip may be loosely attached at one end. This is to
allow for easier separation of the joint before rejoining for installation.

Ramp

This half fully attached This half loosely attached

Warning: Please ensure that care is taken when separating a jointed hinged rail, as wiring
runs from one end of the rail to the PCB in opposite end. Care must be taken to split the
wiring as the joint is opened

Once the rail is rejoined ready for installation, the way in which the charging strip is fully
reattached is important - completing this step incorrectly could result in damage to the charging
pickup of the carriage over time. To ensure this potential for damage is eliminated, please follow
the correct procedure outlined below:

Jointed Rails 16
Under normal circumstances the rail is provided in one continuous piece.

if the rail has been provided with a joint (if this has been specified on the order for access to the property, or
with some export models) then the rail may need to be joined prior to the installation proceeding. This
process is best not undertaken on the staircase, and requires 2 people.

NOTE: If preparing the rail joint outside please ensure that it is not allowed to become wet (unless it is an
external model) and that protection is provided to the underside of the aluminium extrusion to prevent
cosmetic damage.

Procedure:
(The rail joining kit is only secured in the bottom (lower) half of the rail)

1. Remove the copper Charging

strips if present - a little force will
enable them to lift away from the
rail

2. Slide the bottom rail section into

the top section - Tube and
racking of the bottom section
should slot neatly into position
within top section

3. (D160 Only) Slide the joint plate

into position beneath the join line

Rail Installation
If possible, bring the seat and carriage boxes into the house and up to the landing. This allows
you to remove the cleats (from the seat box) required for fitting the rail - and also ensures they
are out of the way from the bottom of the stairs where they may present a tripping hazard during
the rail install. Once the seat and carriage are out of the way, bring the rail into the house and
follow the below steps:

Position the rail on the stairs as shown:

ensure the rail is

sat on the noses
Left Hand Stairlift of the stairs
Right Hand Stairlift

Position rail approximately 120mm from thewall

(avoid measuring from skirting board). This is a 120mm
guide only - the actual distance from the wall will
be determined by any fixed protruding features
that could impede travel of the stairlift (this could
be anything from a window sill to an uneven
wall), and will be resolved in the section Rail
Fixing, page 36

Fix the cleats in an alternating manner as shown
(first cleat secured with one screw at wall side of cleat, next cleat secured with one screw at
opposite side of cleat etc)

Fixing in this way is recommended as it allows the rail to be held securely in place whilst setting
up. It also allows for adjustment if required.

Be aware of any tripping hazards, particularly when stepping over the rail.

The rail can now be deemed safely held TEMPORARILY while the rest of the setup procedure is
followed. THE RAIL MUST BE FULLY SECURED BEFORE HANDING OVER TO THE CLIENT
FOR USE (as detailed at end of setup procedure)

Torque Settings

The following sections explain how to set the lift for the customers specific requirements, and
include the setting of critical components such as the seatpost and footrest.

Since these components play a large part in taking the users weight, it is vital that the torque
settings shown in the following sections are adhered to for the customers safety.

Please note that an over-tightened fixing is equally as hazardous as an under-tightened

one, and can very quickly lead to shearing of the bolt head under load.

Seat Installation: Manual Swivel Option

Remove the underseat cover as shown:

While threading the data cable from the main harness of the carriage (red/white/black) through
the spigot of the seat, locate the spigot into the seatpost of the carriage as shown. Care must be
taken to avoid damage to the seatpost microswitch as explained below:

ensure the switch is located

within cut-out of spigot ring
during pairing to avoid
damage

www.meditek.net
 24
Connect the data cable from the main carriage harness (fed up through spigot in previous step) to
the empty MOLEX connector on the Dummy PCB as shown.

You should now have 2 cables connected to the Dummy PCB - one up through the spigot from
the carriage and one from the Arm PCB through the seat frame (the seat will arrive with this latter
cable in place on the Dummy PCB)

The Dummy PCB is used on a Manual Swivel Seat in place of

an Auxiliary PCB, which is found on the Powered Swivel Seat.

The use of a Dummy PCB allows the seat to be upgraded to a

powered option at a later date without the need for rewiring of
the seat or carriage - the engineer simply adds the actuator,
changes the spigot and seatpost, and swaps the Dummy PCB
for the Auxiliary PCB.

The Manual Swivel Seat is now paired. Continue on to section ‗Seat Offsetting‘

It is good practice to turn OFF the lift when connecting/disconnecting peripherals or when
working on the lift in general.

Remember to turn it back ON when required.

If the lift is not responding as it should, check the that the lift is ON first as it could be that
someone has accidentally turned it off.

The seat can now be paired with the carriage as shown in next section.

Allow the lift to travel up the stairs from at least the mid point of the rail (this allows the lift to build
up a true running speed) and onto the top limit stop.

Tweak the temporary position of the limit stop as necessary until satisfied so that the footrest is
able to stop at the optimum boarding position. Drill 2 3mm holes into the rail using the holes of the
limit stop as an initial guide.

Screw the limit stop in to place using the 2 self tapping screws
provided in the kit bag from within the cleat box of the seat.

Position and fit the bottom limit stop in the same manner
over the groove shown in the below diagram — the objective
is to achieve the lowest boarding position possible without

Standard Straight Rail: Connecting the Power Supply

Remove the rail end cap from the top of the rail:

Feed the double wires from the charger up through the underside o f the rail at the top end and
connect to the terminal block as shown then protect with insulating tape. The below rail profile is
for the D160 however the method still remains the same:

DO NOT use any power supply unit other than the ICS unit supplied! Doing so can cause
serious damage to the stairlift batteries

Replace the end cap back on to the rail and secure it in place with

Checking Customer’s Household Earth

Before continuing with the install, it is important that the clients household earthing is checked.

Ensure the power supply is connected to rail (as explained in previous section) and connected to
the mains.

Check continuity between the rail and a radiator in the clients home - ensure contact point is bare
metal and not painted surface.

If continuity cannot be shown, MediTek recommends the install to be aborted until the client is
able to have the earthing of the building Inspected.

The Real-time Diagnostic Display is accessible via the Menu System buttons of the Main PCB of
the stairlift. Once in this state, the display gives feedback on the control system and safety
switches in real-time. This can be used to quickly diagnose every circuit on the lift - if an edge is
pressed it is reported immediately by the system.

Real-time Diagnostic Display: (Continued)

The Problem:
In this example, the display shows that the lift has overrun the top limit stop (T) and managed to
activate the final limit (F).

The Solution:
The engineer arrives and manually winds the lift away from the top stop (and therefore the final
limit). The fault is rectified by replacing the switch and then retesting the lift before handing it back
over to the customer.

Maintenance/Service

Carrying out periodic maintenance/servicing of the stairlift is critical to ensure that there is
continued safe operation.

We recommend that all commissioned Stairlifts are serviced (at least) annually and that an interim
visual inspection is carried out every six months.

The installer/dealer is responsible for setting up and maintaining service agreements with the end
user.

You can find a copy of the service sheet in the appendices.

During maintenance/servicing we advise that you look at the following parts:

Carriage: Rail:
 ICCC Pickups & Wiring  Rail fixing screws
 Motor Brushes  M8 rail fixing nuts & bolts
 Over speed Governor  Carriage stop ramps
 Control PCB  Rail end cap(s)
 Wiring looms & Connections  Manual rail hinge (if applicable)
 Batteries  Powered rail hinge and remote
 Up / down limit switches controls
 Final limit switch
 Seat post fixings Other:
 Swivel seat switch  Manual platform
 Up / down carriage safety switch  Powered platform – wiring & remote
 Footrest safe edges controls
 Footrest levelling and fixing bolts  Fused spur
 Footrest springs  Transformer / charger
 Rollers  General wiring & trunking
 Remote call & sends
Seat:
 Joystick control
 Arm hinge fixings
 Seat hinge fixings
 Swivel lever / locking mechanism
 Upholstery fixings

Once the above checks have been made you need to finalise the maintenance/service by:

 Cleaning and lubricating

 Replacing all the covers and tightening the screws
 Running the lift under a full load
 Resetting the service count

OSG (Overspeed Governor) Activation/Reset

Rocker Arm

Regulator

Cam

In the unlikely event of a gearbox failure, the OSG Cam will be dug into the rail. Take the
following steps to rectify the issue:
 Disconnect the power supply and batteries to immobilise the stairlift
 Record the stairlift‘s serial number
 Inform the end user that the stairlift cannot be used for safety reasons
 Call Tech Support to arrange a replacement - after OSG activation the rail, OSG
components and gearbox are rendered unusable

In the event of an OSG ‗nuisance trip‘ (the OSG mechanism being triggered without gearbox fail-
ure), the most likely problem will be a piece of cloth/duster etc being caught in the pinion gear and
becoming tangled. This will then actuate the OSG microswitch, resulting in the above fault being
displayed (FINAL LIMIT) and loss of function of the stairlift.

To reset this fault, follow this procedure:

 As a precaution, stop the possibility of the carriage descending by fitting an appropriate
clamp
 Switch off the lift/disconnect the batteries.
 Remove the foreign object
 Reset the cam by using a 6mm hex drive/MediTek handwinder in the aperture in top of the
brake and turning it anti-clockwise to move the lift UP slightly.
 The lift can now function as normal

ICS System Overview

The ICS system is made up of a number of individual PCBs that work together to form the control
system of the MediTek D160 Stairlift.

All MediTek D160 Stairlifts rely on the Main PCB (located in the carriage of the unit,
protected by the main cover) as the ‗heart‘ of the system.

This unit relies, however, on the constant feedback received by the other subsystems - which will
always include the Arm Display PCB, and depending on the options equipped to the stairlift could
also include a Hinge PCB and Powered Swivel PCB.

This continual communication between the systems present therefore relies on a ‗data‘ path, as
shown below:

Arm Display PCB

 Shows the status of the lift
 Handles the toggle and remote
calls Powered Swivel PCB
 Contains the arm interlock mechanism
 Drives the swivel actuator if the

ICS Troubleshooting/Diagnosing Faults
If the stairlift is not operating as expected, it is a good idea to check this path as a first step
towards diagnosing the issue.

Be sure to check:

 The complete wiring path between the Main PCB and its subsystems. Check for any
stripping of the wires which could be causing an earthing issue.
 That the MOLEX connectors of the ICS wiring harnesses are correctly seated:

 A good tip for diagnosing the issue is to reset the fault log memory by holding down the
Fault Log button for 5 seconds as detailed in the Fault Log section. This will allow you to set
all logs to zero. After setting the log to zero, simply try and operate the lift again and then
recheck the fault logs one by one. The log that is showing 1 or more occurrences since the
reset will then point you in the correct direction for diagnosing the lift.

Another vitally important feature of the ICS system is the requirement of a good Earthing route
throughout the system. It is a good idea to ensure that the following tests can be completed as a
first priority when attempting to diagnose an ICS unit.

Place the multimeter in ‗continuity‘ mode: or

Ensure the continuity between the GROUND („GND‟) tab and the metal motor/gearbox housing as
shown

If no continuity is confirmed in either test, ensure the crimps of the cables are correct, all
connectors are secure, and that any mounting points are tapped and free of paint or de-
bris.

Earth Protection Cut-out & LED Indication: (Continued)

Safety Circuit Resettable Fuse & Indicator

If the Arm PCB Display is showing SAFETY CIRCUIT, check the Main PCB

1) If leftmost LED indicator is NOT lit then it can be reasonably assumed the issue lies with a
fault on the final limit safety circuit itself - OSG switch, Final Limit switch.
2) If the leftmost LED indicator IS lit, then the fault could be attributed to any line of the safety
circuits - Footrest switches, Top / Bottom limit switches etc.

Data Bus / Overcurrent Resettable Fuse & Indicator

If an ancillary motor (Hinge actuator or Swivel actuator) attempts to draw too much current from
the supply (typically >2A), then the indicator will light and the fuse will open to protect the rest of
the system while the fault is rectified.

This is usually the result of an obstruction to the ancillary motor (seat spigot not able to rotate
freely within seatpost for example). Check motors and clear obstruction if necessary.

If the white line of the data bus (the line that carries the actual data of the system) is earthed for
any reason then this fuse will open the indicator will light. Check continuity of white line of data
bus and rectify grounding.

Note: in the case of the red line of the data bus (data bus positive 24V) being grounded, the fuse
in the power supply unit will open. This can be confirmed by checking to see if the LED of the
power supply unit (on the unit itself) is dimly lit or flickering. The unit will also emit a low clicking
noise in this case.

Check red line of data bus and correct any short to the system.

Powered-Folding Hinge Audio Visual Alarm

Not Applicable to E120

The Audio Visual (AV) Alarm for the hinge will activate the flashing LED and
intermittent beep during movement of the hinge as a warning to persons
within proximity of the lift. Thus it should be placed in line with the hinge
mechanism where possible.

*Please Note: the connection of

hole on the

These can then be paired to

the connectors of the AV
Alarm unit *

Ensure the AV Alarm is in a position

so that it can be seen from the top
and bottom of the stairway - ideally
in line with the moving hinge
mechanism.

Run the wires straight down the wall,

across the stair step and up the cleat
located near to the hinge section.

Any excess wire can be taken up

with a cable tie and attached to the
inside of the large hole on the
underside of the rail - be careful not
to allow too much slack to drop down
the length of the rail as this may
snag on the actuator during use.

Use trunking or other such means if

required to hide the wiring up the
wall.

Fitting the Footrest Link Conversion Kit: (Continued)

Follow these instructions to convert a standard seat into a footrest link option
(requires footrest link conversion kit – contact MediTek for pricing/information)
(these instructions should only be followed when the Stairlift has been switched off)

For the Footrest

NOTE:
 Do not over tighten the springs. Adjust the tension (if required) to the desired level after the
cable setup
 If the footrest does not already have the link roller in situ (as received from factory), please
complete the following section. If the link roller *IS* present, jump to tensioning section.

Putting the link roller in situ:

1. Remove the hinge cover from the stairlift.

2. Use the 10mm Allen ratchet to take the tension off the
index pivot bar while removing the small bolt.
3. Once the small bolt has been removed, release the
tension (you can reset the ratchet by holding the 10mm
Allen still with a 10mm spanner).
4. Use a punch to knock the pins through the bar.
5. Pull the bar out of the footrest and remove the springs as
they become free (make note of which spring is which).
6. Place the new index pivot bar through the footrest and
mounting bracket, locating one of the large white washers
between the footrest leg and the mounting bracket.
7. Replace the left hand spring with the new left hand spring
included in the kit (make sure to replace the springs like
with like as noted in above step).
8. Place the footrest link roller onto the bar next to the left
hand spring, and then place the right hand spring next to
this.
9. Locate the second large white washer between the
footrest leg and mounting bracket.
10. Knock the replacement split pins into the locating holes as
they were originally, making sure the tang of the spring
will fit around this.

Tensioning
2
Once the link roller is in situ follow the below steps:

1. Using a spanner and a ratchet, increase the tension

on the springs so that you will need to hold the
footrest down to stop it from springing back up.
2. Once set at this point, lock the index plate in place
with the small bolt supplied.
3. Remove the underside of the footrest.
4. Take the end of the footrest link cable without the
trunnion and fit it through the underside of the
footrest, around the link roller, and lock it into the
keyhole shape of the metal frame.
5. Replace the underside of the footrest.
6. Refit the hinge cover.
Keyhole shape

For the Seat Frame

1. Remove one bolt from the seat base bracket on the seat
frame, being careful not to lose the washers that will
become free.
2. Replace the bolt with one of the clevis pins supplied,
arranging washers as shown in the picture.
3. Hold in place with the retaining pin.
4. Do the same for the other side. The seat base should
now swing freely.
5. Bring the footrest link cable (fitted to the footrest
previously) trunion end up through the carriage cover.
6. You will need to remove this cover to enable easier
fitting.
7. Fit the trunion to the seat base bracket as shown in
picture C (to the side opposite the seatpost).
8. Lock the two nuts (highlighted) together so that the
trunion is able to rotate freely - DO NOT LOCK
AGAINST SEAT BASE BRACKET.
9. Fit the end of the sleeve to the seat frame as shown in
picture D.
10. Cable tie the footrest link cable to the seatpost of the
stairlift (Make sure to attach loosely, as if too tight it will
affect the operation of the link).
11. Cable should route from rear of footrest, through inside of
main cover.
12. Loosely cable tie to the side of the seatpost and attach to
mounting point.
13. Grease the hinge springs and pivot bar (shown in pic A),
clevis pins on either side of seat base bracket (shown in
pic B), trunion and locking nuts (shown in pic C) and ALL
other moving parts of the system.

Fitting the Footrest Link Conversion Kit: (Continued)

Adjustment

The ideal setting for the system is such that the seat base meets the metal seat frame prior
to the footrest being in the fully lowered position. If this is not adhered to then an
excessive load is placed on the cable when the user is seated – resulting in reduction of
life to the cable and potential for breakage.

1. Lower the seat base of the stairlift. The footrest should lower with the seat as one
movement.
2. Raise the seat. The footrest should rise with the seat as one movement.
3. If any adjustment is required, this can be done via the nuts either side of the trunion.
4. Adjust as required such that the footrest lowers and rises fully with the seat base, and the
seat base meets the frame before the footrest is fully lowered as described above.
5. Replace the carriage cover.
