DESCRIPTION
The Lifestyle Lift is an inter floor lift that is designed for use by up
to two people standing or one person seated travelling between
fixed floor levels in private dwellings.
With a maximum carrying capacity of 250kg, this lift is not
intended for use as a means of transporting goods.
The lift is designed to operate without a lift shaft and is provided
with an automatic infill panel which makes the ceiling aperture
safe when the lift is parked downstairs.
Optional GPRS two way communications or a hard wired
standard telephone can be supplied in the car for emergency
communication.
A standard feature is the provision of half hour fire rated panels in
both the aperture infill and the car underpan.
The lift car panels are made from powder coated steel which can
easily be cleaned using normal household cleaners. Upholstery
is made from high quality contract materials and can be cleaned
in the same way.

GENERAL DO’S AND DON’TS
• Never switch off the power supply to the lift, even when you go
away. The lift control circuits are fed by a battery, which must be
kept on constant charge.
• The lift should always be returned to the lower level when
not in use. If it is left upstairs for prolonged periods, it will
occasionally re-level itself depending on conditions. The lift must
be left at the lower level if the mains is turned off.
• Keep hold of the door whether opening or closing.
• Always close the door after using the lift.
• Never allow children to play in, under or around the lift. If
children are in the house, always isolate the lift using the
optional remote control fob, see page 7.
• Ensure that the area under the lift is kept clear. The underpan
surface is fitted with sensors, which automatically stop the lift if it
strikes an object (see pg.6).
• Always keep the key fob, if supplied and emergency release
key in a safe place near the lift. The in-car release keys behind
the centre cover should not be removed unless there is an
emergency.
• Do not place any object on the aperture infill or stand on it when
the lift is in operation. Ensure that as far as practical, the area
around the travelling infill panel is clear of persons (particularly
children) when the lift is being operated. The infill panel is fitted
with sensors that automatically stop the lift if the infill panel is
obstructed (see pg.6)
• Only use the lift for transporting up to 2 people standing
or 1 seated between fixed floor levels. Do not use for the
transortation of goods.
• Always treat your lift with the respect that should be shown to
electrical and mechanical equipment.
• Safety related components should only be adjusted and reset
by a competent person.

CONTROLS AND OPERATION
There are two wall mounted call stations, one at each level (see
illustration) and a similar control station fitted in the lift car.
The lift can be isolated by using the optional remote control fob.
When the lift is isolated none of the control stations will function.
The call and control stations can only be activated by using the
remote fob. When the lift is activated, the coloured indicator lights
in the car will illuminate.
The lights in the car will switch on automatically when any call or
control button is pressed and will automatically turn off after a few
minutes.
General operation
Call the lift by pressing the up arrow or down arrow button on
either call station and wait for it to stop. The door will unlock and
can then be manually opened. Press and release UP or DOWN
on the control station for the lift to travel uninterrupted to the
next floor. If the lift does not start, check that the door is properly
closed and try again. Always close the door after using the lift.
Leave the lift downstairs whenever possible.

Car light intensity control
On one of the call stations, by pressing and holding the stop and
down buttons, the light intensity will reduce. By pressing holding
the stop and up buttons, the light intensity will increase. When
the desired level is reached, release the buttons.
Car light timer
It is possible to vary the length of time the car light stays on after
the last operation on the lift.
By pressing and holding the stop and up and door buttons, the
light timer will automatically sequence through the light-on times
and respond with a series of beeps. Each beep represents five
minutes in time. When the desired time is reached release all
buttons.
Radio remote call stations
The call stations and the optional remote control are fully
integrated units with internal batteries. The batteries can be
changed by the user with a philips screwdriver on the back of
each unit.
CR2450 (550 mAh minimum) are approved for use with these
devices.
CRITICAL:
It is critical that all three batteries are replaced with NEW ones of
the same type, manufacture and age, that they are fitted at the
same time and that they are correctly oriented.

SMOKE ALARM
If smoke detection system has been installed on your lift. It has
been designed to provide adherence to British Standard BS5900
2012 Section 9.13 “Behaviour of homelift in the event of fire”.
The system utilises two smoke alarms one upper level, one lower
level, which are wirelessly connected to the lift (see illustration
below).
The Smoke Alarm unit comprises two parts, the first (TOP PART)
being a Smoke alarm unit. This is the Smoke detection unit and
contains an integral battery with a 10 year life span. This is not
replaceable.
The second part (BASE UNIT) contains the radio transmitter
receiver unit. Power to this unit is supplied by two AA style
batteries. The voltage level of the batteries is monitored.
In the event of a low battery, a sounder in the carriage will beep
(see Fault Finding pg.20). If the batteries are not replaced, the lift
will be taken out of service.
Radio smoke alarm operation
When installed on a Harmony Lift, the smoke alarm system will
cause the lift to deactivate safely once the alarm is triggered.
When deactivated, the door will continue to operate as normal.

When the Lift is stationary at either level:
If smoke is detected, the alarm will sound. After a period of time,
all other smoke alarms connected to the system will then start to
sound and the lift deactivates.
When the Lift is travelling between levels:
If smoke is detected, the alarm will sound. After a period of time,
all other smoke alarms connected to the system will then start to
sound.
The lift will continue to its requested level, it will remain possible
(until that level is reached) to change the direction of the lift.
Once at the desired level, the lift will deactivate.
Reactivation of Lift
The lift will automatically reactivate when the smoke alarm no
longer detects smoke and a period of two minutes has expired.
Silencing the Smoke Alarms
In either situation, it is possible that the sounder of each
individual alarm can be silenced. The alarms that has been set
off remotely can be silenced by pressing the both the STOP and
DOOR button on one of the lift handsets. Then the alarm that
has been triggered by the smoke can be silenced by pressing
the mute button on the alarm itself. Doing this will silence the
alarms for four minutes. When silenced, the lift will automatically
reactivate when a period of two minutes has expired. If the
source of smoke is not removed, the smoke alarms will begin to
sound again and the lift will be disabled.

11
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
In the event of a mains failure during travel, the battery backed
control system of the lift will allow normal operation in the down
direction without loss of any safety features. This allows the user
to exit the car at the lower level in the normal way.
Emergency Manual Lowering
If the lift has stopped mid-travel and the customer is unable to send the
lift up or down, then the lift can be manually lowered by one of following
methods:
1. Lowering the lift from inside the lift car. (pg.12)
2. Lowering the lift from outside the lift car. (pg.14)
IMPORTANT:
• During emergency manual lowering, the normal safety
features will not function, so the lift will not stop if a
person, pet or object is under the lift.
• The exact lowering procedure must be observed in each
case, because the normal safety features will not function
during manual lowering.
• The emergency lowering procedures should never be
used if the lift is fully up or no one is trapped in it.
• The emergency lowering procedures should also never be
used as the normal down travel function until an engineer
attends.

12
1. Lowering the lift from inside the lift car.
FIRST:
If other people in the house, they must be alerted to the fact that
the lift has stopped. They should assist in the lowering procedure
by ensuring the following:
• That no object, person or pet are in the path of the lift
travel.
• That the aperture infill panel follows the lift during descent
and locates fully in the upstairs floor to guard against
anyone falling into the lift-way.
If no other people are in the house, check as best you can that
no pets or obstacles are in the path of the lift travel.
THEN:
Locate the emergency lowering key within the lock bar unit, see
illustration ‘A’ on pg.13 for how to access the key.
1. Insert the emergency lowering key into the control panel at
the back of the lift. See illustration ‘D’ on pg13.
2. Turn the key clockwise and hold it there with one hand.
3. Simultaneously, with the other hand, press and hold the
down button to lower the lift.
If the door lock does not release automatically when the lift is
down, press the door button on the control station. If this does
not work, see ‘Emergency Unlocking’.

2. Lowering the lift from outside the lift car.
If the lift has stopped mid level and the customer is unable to get the lift
up or down then the only time it should be lowered by the emergency
valve is if:
• There is a 2nd person around the lift area at the lower
level to ensure that nothing goes under the lift during the
lowering by the first person.
• OR the person lowering the lift has sight of the area under
the lift.
Person A:
• Ensure the lift door is fully closed.
• Turn off the mains supply to the lift.
• Locate the hydraulic power unit, normally outside the
property (see illustration below).
• Using the Torx Driver supplied, swivel the small metal
cover plate on the front face of the housing to reveal an
access hole (see illustration below).
• The red cord revealed in the access hole now needs to be
pulled continuously to lower the lift car slowly.
• After 5 seconds release the cord and check with person B
that the aperture infill panel is following the carriage. If so,
resume pulling the cord as before.
• Once the lift is at the lower level turn the mains supply
back on and secure flap.
Remove the screw using
the screwdriver provided at installation.
Swivel this metal plate to one side in
order to gain access to the lowering
cord behind the plate.

15
Person B:
• Remain in the house by the lift and communicate with
Person A to ensure the safe lowering of the lift.
• Ensure that no object, person or pet are in the path of the
lift travel.
• Confirm that the aperture infill panel follows the lift during
descent and locates fully in the floor to guard against the
possibility of anyone falling down the lift way.
Emergency unlocking
The lift car door is designed so that it will only unlock when the
lift is within 25mm of each floor served. If for any reason the lock
does not function, it can be over-ridden by one of the following
methods:
1. To release the lock from inside the car. (pg.16)
2. To release the lock from outside the car. (pg.18)
IMPORTANT:
The door lock may only be manually over ridden from inside the
lift car if:
• The lock has failed and does not respond to operation
using the normal controls.
• The lift is stationary at the upper or lower landing.

16
1. To release the lock from inside the car
Within the lock bar unit, there is also a tool to enable the lock
to be over-ridden. The lock bar panel must be removed by
firmly pulling it forward as shown below.

FAULT FINDING
The most likely cause of your lift failing to operate is the door
not being fully closed or something obstructing the travel of the
car. To assist in identifying the cause, the car is fitted with a
simple system of coloured indicator lights on the rear panel. The
left hand (red/green) light is an indicator for the optional GSM
communication system and is normally off. The illustration below
shows the light positions.
Along the bottom from left to right:
1. Red/Green light - Normally
off. Indicates optional GSM unit
operation.
2. Blue light - Comes on when door
fully closed (and when lift has been
activated with optional fob).
3. Green light - Indicates that upper
car safe edge is ok. Will be off when
car descends
4. Yellow light - Indicates that lower
car safe edge is ok. Will be off when
car ascends.
And above the UP button:
5. Red Light - Normally on. Will be
off if power pack emergency circuit is
broken.
