Acorn 180 T565 Hinge Programming struggles
-
-
Newbie here, hoping you fine folks can help. Just installed an Acorn 180 with the power gate. Originally purchased June 2021. I reinstalled it with exactly the same parts. But had some J3 issues. After much struggling and buying an (outdated) full programming manual, I got it into program mode and i’ve got everything working (with no codes), except for the power gate. It seemed like the (maybe newer) quick guide had different instructions to get it into program mode. Rather than the foot support safety switches it seemed to want the switch underneath pressed. For the life of me I can’t get it into the P9 or L8 modes. It says swivel seat, hold the down safety switch on the carrier, and toggle up on the arm switch to P9 mode before hitting the button to pair the gate. I can’t get it to show the P9 mode. The power gate wiring is functioning manually. I had similar issues not getting it into the L9 mode to set the level reference (if I would have been able to solve that I could have kept all the original programming, but the top section is steeper in this house.) Very indebted to anyone that can help. Giving this to the friend of my old man because that’s what he’d want, but no good deed…

Further to this post, it appears that the lift is not recognizing when the seat swivels, and this is why i can’t get it to the E6 code where I can then pair the power hinge. Does anyone know why it may be that the lift isn’t recognizing the seat swiveling?

Not an expert of this chair but I do hobby computer programming and circuit boards.
The only reason why a chair will not recognize if it is swiveled or not is due to the momentary switch that it hits when in the closed position.
2 things to start checking 1) that momentary switch (make sure it can open and close freely), easier with a continuity tester 2) the connection to the circuit board.

Thanks for your reply. I should have updated this earlier. You’re exactly right – I found the swivel switch and it was indeed broken/out of place. I was able to force it as showing the swivel position and finish the programming!
