Just finished installing a used Stannah 420 Solus, straight run with hinged
bottom section. I rang the local Stannah service agent for installation
details but not a chance of getting DIY INFO from them. After everything
screwed down and connected, socket switched on and unit switched on with the
chair at the top and the hinged section upright the result is that the
chairmotor kicks in and the hinged section drops for about a second,
everything stops then the unit beeps constantly every couple of seconds. With
the down button pressed and held the unit kicks in for a second then stops. I
feel Im missing something simple, like maybe a sticky switch, Id like a
cct diagram and any ideas would be appreciated. Im pretty sure Ive
connected everything correctly as it was originally.

The user guide gives various reasons for beeping

battery not charging
warning that hinged rail is moving

Seat not moving, maybe the chair control is being used without anyone
being seated - there is a pressure sensor. Using the remote control
doesn't require anyone to be seated.

Correct, the remote should work irrespective of how the chair has been
left - as in arms up down, foot rest or seat up/down.

Using the local control on the seat, the arm rests and foot rest need
to be down, it doesn't care about the seat up/down or there is a
passenger in the seat.

They have anti-trap / obstruction sensors on the foot rest and where
the chair attaches to the rail, for both directions. Beeping when
trying to move, suggests the battery is dead, or an obstruction has
been detected.

Moving a little way, then stopping and beeping, suggests the batteries
are almost dead or not connected, or not charging. 2x 12v batteries in
series, so 24v. On charge they should show around 26 to 27v.

Beeping suggests
