PCB CONVERSION
The T700 PCB is compatible with any previous 120/130
stairlift (post 2005).
Before converting your current PCB to a T700 Controller,
ensure you have the following items:
• T700 PCB
• T700 1.5A 28DCv Power Supply
• T700 Digital Display PCB
• T700 Digital Display Lead
• T700 User Manual
• T700 12v Battery Monitoring Lead
POWER SUPPLY PSU
The T700 1.5A 28vDC power supply features Universal
Input, which allows you to connect an AC power lead
from any country.
This unified power supply will replace the 1.5A 15 ACV
transformer used in the past (USA 2.5A 15 ACV).
Note: The T700 PCB CANNOT be used with the previous
15 ACV transformer.
CHARGING SYSTEM
The T700 uses 2x 12V / 7Ah Lead-Acid batteries.
Once the stairlift is parked on a charge point, the T700
charging system will re-charge the batteries, until
reaching its maximum capacity.

Acorn Stairlifts User Manual 55
T700 - CONTROLLER INFORMATION
LOW BATTERY PROCEDURE F5  E7
In the event of the stairlift entering a low battery level
during travel, you will experience the following:
• The lift will stop and display F5 (battery flat) with an
audible warning, reverting to E7 after the arm
toggle or remote is activated.
• The stairlift will ONLY drive in the downwards
direction displaying E7, until the bottom parking
position is reached.
• The display code E7 will remain and will automatically
clear once the batteries have recharged to a safe level.
HIBERNATION MODE
The Stairlift will enter hibernation mode after 60 seconds,
if the unit is positioned away from a charge point or in the
event of a power cut. The display will turn o, which will
reduce energy consumption.
In hibernation mode, the Stairlift will beep twice every
approximately 40 seconds, only by pressing a directional
switch from the arm or remote control will return the lift
to normal operation.
REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION
The T700 operates using Infrared (IR). This is
selected using the “Setting Mode” menu.
• Infrared
This technology requires line of sight with the stairlift
to operate correctly. There are 4 operating
channels available.
Note: RF technology is available when experiencing IR interferences

VOLUME CONTROL
The T700 features 3 volume settings.
FAULT CODES
The T700 PCB comes with Unified fault code system for
easier diagnosis.
POWERED SWIVEL OPTION
The T700 has the powered swivel operating circuit integrated. No
extra PCBs are required in the carriage when using this option.
Powered Swivel Operation:
• Upwards movement using the directional switch on
the arm
When the lift reaches the top stopping position. The lift will
stop, and after a short delay the seat will automatically swivel.
(This short delay is for safety reasons)
• Downwards movement using the directional switch on the arm
When a call is made, the seat will swivel back to the travel
position. After a short delay, the lift will automatically
start its travel. (This short delay is for safety reasons)
• Upwards movement using the remote control
The lift will reach the top stopping position and stop. Release
and press the remote again to start the swivel operation.
• Downwards movement using the remote control
When a call is made, the seat will swivel back to the
travel position and stop. Release and press the
remote again to start the lift operation.

T700 - CONTROLLER INFORMATION
POWERED FOOTREST OPTION
The T700 has the powered footrest operating circuit
integrated. No extra PCBs are required in the carriage
when using this option.
Powered Footrest Operation:
At the top or bottom of the stairs, after the stairlift comes
to a stop, use the buttons located along both sides of the
seat to lower or raise the footrest as required.
AUTO HINGE OPTION
When the Auto Hinge setting has been
selected in the T700 system, it will
require the addition of a limit ramp to
activate the operation of the hinge .
The T700 Hinge Controller features:
• RF Technology, no umbilical cable require
• Arm rest toggle and remote control operation
• No call stations required
• Battery backup power supply, allowing operation
of the hinge in the event of a power cut
• Coded communication protocol, reducing interference
• Manual hinge activation (for engineer or
emergency use only)
• External LED power ON display
• Universal Input, which enables you to connect AC
power leads from dierent countries.

Hinge Operation
• Using the directional switch on the arm
When the lift reaches the hinge activation ramp, the
stairlift will stop and the auto hinge will be
automatically raised or lowered. This will
allow the user to operate the hinge safely.
• Upward movement using the remote control
When the lift reaches the activation ramp, the stairlift
will park and the auto hinge will be automatically
raised. Release and press the remote again if a
journey to the top is required.
• Downward movement using the remote control
When the lift reaches the activation ramp, the stairlift
will park. Release and press the remote again if a
journey to the bottom is required.

MANUAL HINGE OPTION
 AUTO PARKING FUNCTION
When a manual hinge is used with the T700 system, it will
require the addition of a limit ramp to assist parking the lift.
Operation:
• Using the remote control
When the lift reaches the activation ramp, the
stairlift will park. Release and press the remote
control again if a journey to the top or the bottom
is required.
• Using the directional switch on the arm
The lift will drive thought the hinge ramp
without stopping.
