safety edge is pressed the lift will stop as a pre-
ventive action. When the safety edge returns to
its normal position the lift can be used again.
The doors will lock automatically when the lift
leaves the floor.
The lift will automatically stop if the pressure on
the SmartControl is not maintained (i.e. you let go
of the SmartControl) or the lift has reached the
selected floor level.*

contrOl panel
e control panel is placed in
the middle of the DesignWall,
and is used to control the li.
SMARTCONTROL
The SmartControl is a unique way of
controlling the lift that has been special-
ly developed to be more user-friendly
and ergonomic than standard lift but-
tons. It comprises a stainless steel ring,
which is turned to select a floor. The
plastic top part is pressed to start the
lift.
Turn counterclockwise to
select a lower floor, i.e. to
go down.
Turn clockwise to select a
higher floor, i.e. to go up.
CONTROL PANEL SYMBOLS
FLOOR INDICATOR
The floors are indicated on the control panel with
the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. The numbers are
backlit using a white light, which tells you which
floor you are currently on and which floor you have
chosen to go to. The current floor is indicated with
100 % brightness, while the other floors are indicat-
ed with 50 % brightness.
KEY – FOR LOCKING THE CONTROL PANEL
It is possible to lock the control panel to prevent
the lift from being used. A key symbol indicates
whether or not the lift is locked. The lift can still
be called from another floor when locked and is lit
until the lock is turned off.
Locking the lift: Turn the SmartControl
counterclockwise until the key symbol is shown.
Then press and hold the SmartControl for five
seconds. A second key symbol will then light up
(red light) next to the max. weight symbol. This
symbol indicates that the lift is locked.
To unlock the lift: Turn the SmartControl counter-
clockwise until the key symbol is shown. Press and
hold the SmartControl for five seconds. The red
key symbol will turn off, indicating that the lift is no
longer locked.
RATED LOAD, MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PERSONS
AND OVERLOAD
The control panel features symbols indicating the
rated load and maximum number of persons that
the lift is designed for. When the lift is loaded with
a heavier load than it is rated for, the rated load
symbol will flash red. It is not possible to use the lift
when it is overloaded.

ALARM BUTTON AND EMERGENCY CALLS
In accordance with EN81-41, two-way communication is man-
datory for safety reasons. All Aritco HomeLifts are therefore
equipped with an autodialer that can be used to make emer-
gency calls.
The alarm button is connected to the autodialer. When the
alarm button is pressed for 10 seconds, the autodialer au-
tomatically calls the first telephone number in the list of
pre-programmed numbers. The numbers are programmed
when the lift is installed. If the first call is not answered after
a pre-defined time, the autodialer will automatically call the
next number in the list.
The autodialer is connected to the fixed PSTN line as stand-
ard. It can be supplied with a GSM module as an option. The
SIM card is not supplied by Aritco.
EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON
The emergency stop button is designed for use in emergen-
cy situations. When the button is pressed, the lift stops. The
button is reset by twisting it.
SERVICE SYMBOL – INDICATES THAT THE LIFT
REQUIRES SERVICING
The service symbol is normally not lit. When a
service is required, the symbol lights up (yellow
light). It is possible for the service partner to set the
intervals for when a service is needed.
STATUS SYMBOL – INDICATES THE STATUS OF
THE LIFT
The status symbol indicates the status of the lift.
When the symbol is not lit, this indicates that the
lift is working normally. When lit, the symbol indi-
cates a fault with the lift. A yellow light indicates
a minor fault, while a red light indicates a serious
fault that must be reset by service personnel.
FIRE SYMBOL – INDICATES A FIRE
The lift can be connected to the building’s fire
alarm system.
If there is no fire, the fire symbol remains off. In
the event of a fire, the fire symbol turns red. In the
event of a fire, the lift will automatically travel to
the floor pre-defined by the homeowner.
A backlit arrow indicates that the emergen-
cy stop function is activated. The white light
will blink until the button is reset.
Yellow light indicates that the alarm button has
been pressed for more than 10 seconds.
Green light indicates connection.

EMERGENCY LOWERING AND OPENING
If the lift needs to be emergency lowered and/
or the doors needs to be emergency opened,
contact a competent person. Instructions can
be found on a label on the outside of the lift.
The key for emergency opening shall be stored
in a safe place outside the lift.
POWER FAILURE
In case of power failure, the lift will automati-
cally go to back-up battery operation and the
lift will travel to the nearest lower level when
you push the SmartControl. When the lift has
arrived to its destination the door will be un-
locked.
The light (emergency light), the alarm but-
ton system and the alarm telephone have an
emergency battery backup which allows them
to function in the event of a power failure. The
battery backup also support the lifts safety
functions.
The lift will automatically go back to main
power without resetting after the power failure.
In case of a long power failure, or if the power
is disconnected more than 7 hours, the backup
battery will be disconnected. This function save
the battery from total discharge. When the
battery is disconnected all the lift functions are
disabled.
If the lift has been out of power or has done an
emergency lowering run it will sometimes run
in the wrong direction as the lift control system
position needs to be updated. The status sym-
bol will be lit with a yellow light. Keep pushing
the SmartContro l and the lift will soon run to
the correct destination.
If there are any problems, call for service per-
sonnel.
SIMPLE FAULT FINDING
Should the carrier lift not work or the call but-
tons flashes, check the following things:
• That the emergency stop button on the con-
trol panel is not pushed in (turn the button
clockwise to deactivate).
• That the doors are closed and the door con-
tacts are undamaged and clean.
• That the power is not switched off.
• That the safety edge around the carrier floor
and above the DesignWall is not stuck in a
pressed position.
If the lift fails to work after you have completed
these checks then you should arrange for a
service personnel to rectify the lift.
