PICKERINGS
TECHNICAL TRAINING
PROGRAMME
When the pulpit cover is removed, live electrical equipment is exposed. Ensure that
the system is electrically isolated before working on items where contact with the
exposed electrical equipment is possible.
When any of the back panels are removed, be aware of the potential trapping points
between the platform and back panel-mounting frame.
Before entering the shallow pit, always ensure the pit prop is locked in the set
position.
For lifts incorporating variable speed inverter drives, capacitors remain charged to a
potentially lethal voltage after the AC supply has been disconnected. Ensure the AC
supply has been isolated for at least ten minutes before working on electrical parts of
the drive.

SPECIFICATION
Travel Up to 9 meters.
Drive System Belt driven rotating bronze nut which runs up and down
steel wormed screw. Secondary safety nut to hold the load
should the drive nut fail. Drive motor positioned behind platform.
Motor is inverter driven from single phase supply.
Control System Constant pressure push button. PLC based control system
mounted on the platform under pulpit cover.
Landing Doors Steel hinged type with manual opening and mechanical closing
operation as standard. Powered operation and remote control
optional. Electromechanical interlocking system operated by
retiring ramp.
Emergency
Lowering Secondary drive system supplied by automatically recharged
batteries. Emergency lowering is activated by simultaneous
operation of the push button and key switch at the bottom floor
landing entrance.
Emergency drive only becomes functional when main power
supply is lost.
Platform
Overload Overload protection fitted as standard. Upon exceeding the
rated load the overload indicator illuminates and the lift is
prevented from starting.
Pit prop Prior to entering the pit, the platform prop is set and the door
lock kept released, by a turning special key at the landing
entrance. A green indicator illuminates to when the prop is set.

2. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
To gain emergency access into the well (shaft) or lift platform, the unlocking
key for the landing doors must be used. In the interest of safety, use of the
key should be limited to an authorised person(s), who has been instructed
in and is familiar with the correct procedure.
Note: For lifts fitted with fire rated doors, there is no hole in the frame to
access the lock with an EN81 key as described above. Instead, there is a
small Torx screw in the door panel. Removing this allows a screwdriver
or similar to be pushed in until it reaches the chamfered surface at the
end of the lock pin, which is then opened by applying a ‘lever’ action.
PROCEDURE
1. LOCATE THE KEY FOR THE EMERGENCY LOWERING KEY SWITCH.
7. UNLOCK THE LANDING DOOR (see Section 2.1) using the emergency
unlocking key and manually open the door to release the passengers.
WARNING - IF THE PLATFORM IS NOT EXACTLY AT FLOOR LEVEL,
CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO PROTECT THE PASSENGERS WHEN
LEAVING THE WELL.
10. CALL OUT THE LIFT SERVICE TECHNICIAN to check the lift before
being put back into service

3. INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Accessing Components
The majority of components are accessible following removal of the pulpit cover
and central column of the back panels. Gate locks are accessed following removal
of the access panels corresponding to the position of the lock. The emergency
drive system is accessible following removal of the hood from the uppermost back
panels
Removal of the
pulpit cover Switch off the electrical supply to the lift. Two ‘Torx’
headed screws secure the pulpit cover at the top (see
Figs.3, 4 & 5).
A tool (Torx T25) to remove these is included in the
emergency tool kit provided with the lift. Following
removal of the screws, lift the bottom of the cover out
from behind the skirting plate. Put the cover in a safe
place.
The control panel is now accessible and can be isolated
by the mains switch S1 (see Fig.6).
Accessing
components behind
the control panel Access to: drive system and screw, retiring ramp and
limit switches is possible by the means described below.
Operate the pit stop switch and enter the lift pit.
Remove the lowest central back panel via the four
socket screws. Remove the panel from the pit and place
it in a safe place.
Exit the pit and reset the stop switch. Engage the
actuating key and turn it until the pit prop is fully
retracted. Close the landing door and call the lift down
to floor level.
Component Inspection
The frequency of these checks depends on the usage and age of the lift.
Note:
The controller PLC monitors the state of the 24 Volts
supply and prevents the lift from operating should this
voltage level reduce below 22V. In such a case, a low
battery warning (pulsing sound) is emitted and the
overload indicator illuminated. If the platform is in
travel when this occurs, it is allowed to continue to the
next floor and then prevented from restarting.
It has been found that when the lift has been switched
off for some time and the emergency batteries have
become discharged, that upon power up the drain on
the 24V d c, caused by the load of the platform light
and simultaneous charging of the batteries, reduces
the 24 Volts supply sufficiently to prevent the lift from
operating. In such cases the platform light tube should
be detached and the batteries allowed to charge for
several hours. Following this period, the light tube
should be reinstated and the lift operationally tested
and put back into service.
The customer should be advised to leave the lift
permanently switched on.
Ensure that the pit area is clean, dry and free of debris.
After exiting the pit area, reset the pit prop and door
lock with the activating key (the green indicator should
extinguish).
Motor and Drive Check the condition and security of motor and fixings.
Run the lift and listen for any unusual sounds from the
motor.
Limit Switches
and Ramps Referring to Figs.15 & 16. S2 is the final limit and is
common for both directions of travel. Check the switch
and its operating ramps are secure. The limit should trip
10mm after floor level.
When tripped the final limit cuts the main supply to the
lift. This puts the alarm system and platform light on to
emergency battery supply.
Emergency Drive The emergency drive rotates the main screw, which
causes the platform to move up or down (at reduced
speed) depending on the direction of rotation. The
supply for this drive is via the emergency batteries and
is only active when the main power supply is off.
Landing Doors
and Locks Check the security, condition and function of the door
electrical interlock contacts. Ensure the lift stops/will not
start when contacts are open.
