DESCRIPTION

Exterior View
Below shows the exterior components of a V1504 (with a Type 1 cab and without an enclosure).

Platform Gate
The platform gate is shown in Figure 4. This feature is optional for residential use and required for public applications. The gate must be in the fully closed position for the lift to operate.

Safety Underpan
The safety underpan (shown in Figure 5) is located under the platform. The underpan has sensors that detect any obstacles and stop the downward travel of the lift. This is optional on enclosed units and required on open hoistways.

Safety Brake

The safety brake stops the platform in the event of chain failure.
When the platform is in operation, the chain tension keeps the brake mechanism up (Figure 9) so that the brake’s cam doesn’t interfere with the tower track.
If a chain failure occurs, the brake mechanism comes down (Figure 9) and the brake cam stops the platform.

Safety brake in operating position
Safety brake in down position

Emergency Stop Buttons
Pressing one of the red Emergency Stop buttons during travel will stop the lift immediately and activate the alarm. The Emergency Stop overrides the landing (call/send) stations. Pull the Emergency Stop out to return the lift to normal operation.

Manual Lowering and Battery Lowering System
If a power failure occurs, a battery lowering system will bring the lift to the bottom level. If the battery fails while operating, there is also a manual lowering device that will bring the lift to the lower level.
The manual lowering box (Figure 10) is located on the side of the V1504. When you pull on the steel cable located inside the manual lowering box, the platform descends to ground level.
DO NOT have any hoistway door open and always warn the passenger that the platform will be lowered manually

NOTE
This mechanism is for emergency use only. After use of any emergency function (access key or manual lowering device), ensure that all doors/gates are secure and locked. While the emergency function is in use, DO NOT leave the area unattended.

Door Locks
The door lock keeps the door locked when the platform is moving and not at a landing.

• WR-500 lock
• GAL lock
• Prolock

NOTE
Keys are for emergency use only and should always be kept in a safe place for use by trained personnel only.

Emergency Door Opening
For units with a WR-500 lock, the door can be opened manually using the emergency key provided (Figure 6).
Insert the key into the lock and turn it a half turn clockwise to unlock the door. Pull the door open and then turn the key a half turn counter-clockwise to remove it from the lock. DO NOT open the door if there is any chance of falling into the hoistway or from the platform.

For units with a GAL lock or Prolock, the door can be opened manually using a special key inserted into the round pin on the front of the lock (Figure 8).

NOTE
After use of any emergency function (access key or manual lowering device), ensure that all doors/gates are secure and locked. While the emergency function is in use, DO NOT leave the area unattended.

IMPORTANT
Prior to operating the lift, a manual wheelchair MUST have the wheels locked and any power-operated device MUST have the power turned off. If using the provided fold-down seat, ensure that the seat belt is securely fastened.

NOTE
Position the wheelchair, scooter or walker CENTRAL on the platform.

WARNING
DO NOT drive against the fold-up ramp. For units with a fold-up ramp without a platform gate, the user MUST be seated. DO NOT use the lift while standing.

Attendant Operation

• The attendant shall only operate the lift from the call station located at the lower landing if the lift is unenclosed.
• The attendant shall have full view of the floor area under the lift and of the rider at all times.
• If the lift is enclosed, the lift can be operated from the upper landing provided the operator has view of the rider at all times.
• During attendant operation, the car directional controls must not be operational.

Operating from the COP Controls

Figure 2 shows a sample car operating panel (COP).

To operate the V1504 from the COP controls:

1. Insert the key into the switch (if equipped) and turn it to the ON position to  activate the operating buttons.

2. Press the appropriate landing button to move the lift to the destination.
   Note that the V1504 will not move if one of the doors is open.

3. When the lift reaches the landing, the door will unlock automatically (for  units with mechanical GAL locks). For units with an interlock (WR500 or Prolock), the door will unlock automatically for a few seconds when the lift reaches the landing. If you need to re-open the door after the delay, turn the key to the ON position and press the call button again to unlock the door.

4. To prevent unauthorized use of the lift, take the key out when the unit is not
   in operation.

5. Pressing the Emergency Stop button during travel will stop the lift immediately and activate the alarm. The Emergency Stop overrides the landing station controls. Pull the Emergency Stop out to return the lift to normal operation.

6. Pressing the Alarm button during travel will activate the alarm. If the door is locked at a landing, you can press the Alarm button to unlock the current landing door.

Operating from the Landing Station Controls
Figure 3 shows the different types of landing stations (hall calls).

To operate the V1504 from the landing (call/send) station controls:

1. Insert the key into the key switch (if equipped) and turn it to the ON position to activate the operating buttons.
2. Press the appropriate button to move the lift in the required direction. Note that the V1504 will not move if one of the doors is open.
3. When the lift reaches the landing, the door will unlock automatically (for units with mechanical GAL locks). For units with an interlock (WR500 or Prolock), the door will unlock automatically for a few seconds when the lift reaches the landing. If you need to re-open the door after the delay, turn the key to the ON position and press the call button again to unlock the door.
4. To prevent unauthorized use of the lift, take the key out when the unit is not in operation.
