Up/Down/Swivel Remote Control

Our radio remote controller for a motorized up/down/swivel lift is highly sophisticated and utilizes the latest computer chip technology to control the lift’s functions.

The controller consists of one black electronic box and a four button hand-held transmitter. This technologically advanced controller is capable of two different modes of operation that can be changed at any time. These modes are referred to as either Button 3 Mode or Button 4 Mode. While operating under Button 3 Mode, the swivel always remains in the center position when the lift is raised until the lift receives a swivel command. While operating under Button 4 Mode, the swivel always returns to the last “remembered” position when the lift is raised. This means that the swivel will return to the same position that it was in prior to the last time the lift was lowered. If the lift was swiveled to center prior to being lowered, it will remain in the center position when raised until the swivel receives a swivel command. If the lift was swiveled in a position such as 90˚ to the right prior to being lowered, the swivel will return to that 90˚ position the next time that the lift is raised until the lift receives another swivel command. The black electronic box will be shipped from Bausman programmed to Button 3 Mode unless otherwise specified; however, it can be easily changed at any time. The method in which the operating mode is changed will be discussed at a later part of the instruction manual.

Operation of the hand-held transmitter is very straightforward. The top button commands the lift to raise. The third button commands the left swivel function. The fourth button commands the right swivel function. The second button commands the lift to lower. If the lift is in a swiveled position when the down button is depressed, the swivel will return to center and then lower.

The precision, reliability, and unique operating features of this controller clearly sets it apart from and ahead of any other in the marketplace.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

When the lift is shipped from the factory, the swivel will be in center position. The swivel function will not operate when the lift is in the lowered position. The up/down functions will operate only when the swivel is in the center position. If vibration in shipping has caused the swivel to be out of center, contact us immediately.

Bausman utilizes a unique combination of computer chip technology and a solenoid to establish absolute center for the swivel. A potentiometer provides feedback to the controller so that the controller can determine the exact swivel position. This feature is important for a number of reasons:

1. To establish absolute center, so that there is no “play” that might result in damage to the cabinetry when the lift raises and lowers.
2. To establish a maximum range of swivel operation. The Bausman swivel will be shipped with a range of 180˚ in both directions; however, the limits may be readily reprogrammed at any time if less swivel travel is desired. This feature is beneficial for applications in which less travel is desired to avoid hitting a wall or other obstruction when swiveled too far. Once programmed, the controller will retain the swivel limits or “soft stops” until reprogrammed.
3. To “remember” the last swivel position. This feature applies when the controller is programmed to Button 4 Mode. As previously stated, when Button 4 Mode is utilized, the raise command will not only command the lift to raise. It will also signal the swivel to return to the last swivel position that it was in prior to being lowered.
4. There are no external switches or magnets on the swivel. The use of the potentiometer will provide reliable operation without having to worry about magnet placement or switch adjustment. The controller will actually identify that the swivel is approaching the “soft stop” and will decelerate the swivel motor to ensure a smooth motion when stopping.

SET UP

1. Plug the connectors into the electronic control box as shown in the previous picture. All connections are to be made prior to providing AC power. Plug the power cord into a 115V AC receptacle last!
2. After powering the unit, wait 10 seconds before using the hand-held transmitter. During this time, the controller is cycling through a learning mode. This learning mode will be utilized if the lift needs to be reprogrammed; however, it will retain the factory programmed settings in the absence of any input during this cycle.
3. After waiting 10 seconds, the swivel is now in operating mode. If the lift AC power source is interrupted, the controller will remember absolute center and maximum swivel range as long as no input is made within the 10 second cycle when power is restored. If input is accidentally made, the swivel limits are easily reprogrammed. If this occurs follow the reprogramming instructions in the next section or call Bausman.

During normal operation, the swivel always returns to the center position from a clockwise position. This allows the proper engagement of the solenoid when returning to absolute center. When the swivel is automatically returning to center from a left swivel position, it will slightly overshoot center, reverse direction, and approach the center (engaging solenoid contact to the physical stop) from the right. This characteristic will not be seen when the swivel is automatically approaching center from a right swivel position.

REPROGRAMMING THE SWIVEL LIMITS OR OPERATING MODE

In order for the controller to enter into the learning mode, the software requires that the lift platform is lowered and the swivel is centered. Therefore, lower the lift either with the hand-held transmitter or with the manual override button prior to initiating the reprogramming procedure.

Button 3 Mode: the swivel always remains at center when the lift is raised.

• Once the lift is in the lowered position, disconnect the power cord from the 115V AC power source. Leave all of the connections between the lift and the electronic control box secure.
• Restore power to the control box by plugging the power cord into 115V AC and hold down the third button (left swivel) on the hand-held transmitter within the first five seconds until the lift “hiccups”. Do not release the third button until you observe this audible/visual cue.
• Depress the up button on the transmitter to raise the lift platform.
• Once the lift is raised completely, depress and hold the left swivel button until the swivel achieves the maximum range of motion desired, upon release the left swivel “soft stop” is set.
• From this swiveled position, depress and hold the right swivel button as the swivel rotates past center until the maximum desired range of motion is achieved. Upon release of the right swivel button, the right swivel “soft stop” is set.
• With the swivel remaining in the maximum right swivel position, depress the down button.
• Now reprogramming is complete for Button 3 Mode operation.

Button 4 Mode: the swivel always returns to the last “remembered” position.

• Once the lift is in the lowered position, disconnect the power cord from the 115V AC power source. Leave all of the connections between the lift and the electronic control box secure.
• Restore power to the control box by plugging the power cord into 115V AC and hold down the fourth button (right swivel) on the hand-held transmitter within the first five seconds until the lift “hiccups”. Do not release the fourth button until you observe this audible/visual cue.
• Depress the up button on the transmitter to raise the lift platform.
• Once the lift is raised completely, depress and hold the left swivel button until the swivel achieves the maximum range of motion desired, upon release the left swivel “soft stop” is set.
• From this swiveled position, depress and hold the right swivel button as the swivel rotates past center until the maximum desired range of motion is achieved. Upon release of the right swivel button, the right swivel “soft stop” is set.
• With the swivel remaining in the maximum right swivel position, depress the down button.
• Now reprogramming is complete for Button 4 Mode operation

MANUAL OVERRIDE BUTTONS

The black (up) and red (down) buttons on the electronic control box are manual override switches. The purpose of these switches is to give you the ability to raise or lower the lift if the hand-held transmitter is lost. Caution: the manual override switches will cause the lift to raise or lower regardless of the positioning of the swivel. If the manual override down command is given when the lift is swiveled, there is potential of damage to the cabinetry. Do not use the manual override down switch to lower the lift if the swivel is not in the center position. Extreme caution should be used in activating these switches. If the lift is in a lowered position and the black (up) manual override switch is depressed, the lift will raise but not swivel until a swivel command is received.

ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT OPERATIONAL PRECAUTIONS

• Do not attempt to move the swivel position manually. This will result in damage to the swivel assembly drive shaft and the swivel function will no longer be operational.
• If utilizing an inner box design rather than a Direct Mount Backplate, it is of critical importance that the box positioning is consistent with the absolute center that has been established for the swivel assembly. If the box center is not consistent with the swivel absolute center, the lift will not operate properly and damage to the cabinetry and/or lift may result.
• Use of the manual override switches within 120 seconds of a normal source of command can cause both directions to be simultaneously activated and should be avoided.

GENERAL CONTROL INFORMATION

• Depressing the up button on the hand-held transmitter when the lift is lowering will reverse the travel.
• Depressing the down button on the hand-held transmitter when the lift is raising will reverse the travel.
• Depressing the up button on the hand-held transmitter when the lift is raising will cause the lift to stop.
• Depressing the down button on the hand-held transmitter when the lift is lowering will cause the lift to stop.
