Acorn 130 Owners
If you own an Acorn 130 Stairlift, understanding its fault codes is essential for troubleshooting and resolving any potential issues. In this blog post, we will provide a comprehensive guide to the Acorn 130 Stairlift fault codes, explaining their meanings and offering step-by-step solutions. By familiarizing yourself with these fault codes, you can effectively address problems and ensure smooth operation of your stairlift.
1. A1: Normal - No charge. Lift will beep. Explanation: This fault code indicates that your stairlift is not charging. To resolve it, check the mains power, activate the toggle switch, and drive the stairlift to the charge point.
2. A2: Normal - Lift moving up. Explanation: This fault code indicates that your stairlift is operating normally and moving upward.
3. A3: Normal - Lift moving down. Explanation: This fault code indicates that your stairlift is operating normally and moving downward.
4. A4: Normal - Lift moving up (Remote). Explanation: This fault code indicates that your stairlift is operating normally and moving upward using the remote control.
5. A5: Normal - Lift moving down (Remote). Explanation: This fault code indicates that your stairlift is operating normally and moving downward using the remote control.
6. A9: Normal - Lift operating the hinge section. Explanation: This fault code indicates that your stairlift is operating normally while moving the hinge section.
7. C1 - C5: Normal - Battery is charging (C1 being battery low in charge progressively increasing to C5 sustained charge). Explanation: These fault codes represent different stages of the battery charging process, from low charge (C1) to sustained charge (C5). They indicate normal operation during the charging process.
8. C6: Normal - Battery fully charged. Explanation: This fault code indicates that your stairlift's battery is fully charged. It signifies normal operation after reaching maximum charge.
9. C7: Fault - Battery fault. Charge voltage too low. Explanation: This fault code indicates a low charge voltage, potentially indicating a battery fault. If the issue persists, contact an engineer for assistance.
10. C8: Fault - Battery fault. Charge voltage too high. Explanation: This fault code indicates a high charge voltage, potentially indicating a battery fault. If the issue persists, seek assistance from an engineer.
[Include subheadings for the remaining fault codes]
1. E1: Normal - Safety edge activated (Footrest DOWN).
2. E2: Normal - Safety edge activated (Footrest UP).
3. E4: Normal - Safety edge activated (Carriage DOWN).
4. E5: Normal - Safety edge activated (Carriage UP).
5. E6: Normal - Seat not in position.
6. E7: Normal - Battery low.
7. E9: Normal - Key switch off.
8. F1: Fault - Relay fault.
9. F2: Fault - Brake fault.
10. F3: Fault - Motor overcurrent fault.
11. F5: Fault - Battery fault. Audible beep.
12. F6: Fault - Final limit overrun.
