Acorn 180 Relocation / Reprogramming
I’m trying to learn everything I can about Acorn 180 stairlifts before potentially purchasing a few used systems and trying to cobble together one for my father. We can’t afford the cost of a new curved stairlift that he’ll require, and multiple straight stairlifts wont be a good option.
From what I can tell, the system will need to be reprogrammed, and that’s where things get murky. I’ve found what seems like 3 different programming procedures, one for older systems that have switches on the PCB, and then two others for newer t565 board systems depending on the revision. (One for “PCB Software Version 0.812 or higher” dated 22.03.2016 and another apparently for those lower than 0.812.)
I guess my question is, are there more known than these? Has the reprogramming procedure changed again on even newer systems? I read a few posts and comments from some saying that new used Acorn 180 systems are worthless. Is this really the case?
There doesn’t seem to be much if any people sharing DIY instructions for the Acorn systems and none of the installers that install used systems work with any of the curved systems, saying the can’t “crack the code” for installing an Acorn 180 and the others are too unreliable or too custom to be able to reconfigure.
