FAQ (1) What can we do when the parking lock up and down automatically or stays at the lowest or highest position responds nothing to the remote control? 1. After opening the yellow-cover you find the two location-limit switches as following two pictures show. 1-1 is for the highest position 1-2 (at the middle of the main body) is for the lowest position. The wire on the location-limit switch is connected with the control panel. When the lock goes down to the lowest position, the small metal rail would touch the switch (the metal sheet in 1-1), then the circuit gets cut off and parking lock stays at the lowest position. Activating the remote control sends a signal to the control panel which activates the circuit. The parking lock goes up, when it gets to the highest position, the metal rail touches the switch (the metal sheet in 1-2). The circuit switches off and the parking lock stays at the highest position. The problem might happen with the switch is: 1. The small metal rail can’t get close enough to the metal sheet, (showed in 1-3). In this case, the switch can’t switch off the circuit effectively then parking lock will not stay at the end position. Instead it will return from the end position automatically. The solution is adjusting the metal sheet. Adjust it to the right position to enable the switch to switch off the circuit. Just bend the sheet a little to get closer to the metal rail, as 1-4 shows. With a small pinchers this can easily be done. 1-1 1-2 1-3 1-4

1-3 2. As we can see from the pictures the switch is fixed to the main body by two small screws. Here it may happen if the switch fixed too tight to the main body by the screws that the metal sheet would loose its flexibility. In this case when the parking lock gets to its end position and the circuit switched off. Than the metal sheet will not recover, so remote control can’t work at this time, because it can’t activate the circuit again, as the switch stays in the switched-off stage. You must loose the screws a little. In worst situation replacing the location-limit switch is very simple. Just cut the wire off in the red ink place and replace the broken switch with a new one. Connect the wires. There is no need to reconnect the wire of the new switch to the control panel. (1—5) But also a skilled technical person can fully replace a new switch with all wires. 1-5 How can I install a parking lock? You will need to clean the surface of your concrete area, drill four 10cm holes correspond to the hole of parking lock, Install the expanding bolts in the holes, put parking lock on, then it’s completed. Do not install your parking lock in a low or depressed area where water will sit. Do not install your parking lock backwards. Do not install your parking lock onto dirt, gravel or loose stoned parking areas. When positioning your parking lock into your car parking space, we recommend placing the unit at the middle of the parking space and centrally between the two side lines. FAQ (2)

How to program the code of the remote control? Before the remote control works on the parking lock, it needs to be programmed with code of the control panel. First the power supply, location-limit switch and motor should be well connected and work well. Then clean the control panel back to its virgin state. As showed in 1-6 and 1-7, press the button for 2 seconds or more. When a frequent buzz comes after a longer buzz it shows the control panel is clean again to be programmed. Finally to program the code press the button again and simultaneously press one button off the remote control. When a buzz is heard the remote control is already programmed. In this process it needs to be very fast. If press too long on the button it would clean away the code programmed before. Than only the remote control last programmed can work well. Those you did before will not work again. Mostly it needs not to clean the control panel’s code. When customer needs a new remote control, just take out the control panel, program the remote control directly. 1-6 1-7 FAQ (3)

What if I accidentally drive over it? Parking lock has been tested to withstand a 2 tons vehicle driving over the top of it. The cover and its contents can withstand occasional driving over, but the painting and sign with your information on it are likely to be damaged with continuous driving over. What if I want to change parking lot to other place? Your parking lock can be relocated to a new spot. What happens when the battery goes flat? The battery will almost always only go flat in the Down position. If in the unlikely event that the battery goes flat in the Up position, gentle pressure with the hand while pushing the Down button on your transmitter will assist to send it down. How do I recharge the parking lock? You need to open the parking lock unit with the supplied key, and change over the battery with your fully charged spare battery. The battery you remove can then be put on charge in your office to be ready for the next change over. How long between charges will the parking lock operate? Under ordinary usage conditions (two to four operations of the parking lock per day) the battery will last between four and six months. Tests conducted have seen in excess of 12 months operation, so there is a variance. The transmitter will have a 12 to 24 month life depending on frequency of use. When the speed of up and down of the parking lock gets slowly, it indicates the battery needs to be recharged. What if I accidentally drive into it when it is in the Up position? There is a small amount of flexibility in the gear arrangement for minor contact. anything more that that is likely to damage the Uprights and damage your vehicle. It may is likely that only the uprights will be bent/broken and the internals of the parking lock will be undamaged. New Uprights and Identification Plate can be purchased and fitted to your parking lock as spare parts. FAQ (4)
