Which component is used to move the stairlift to a waiting rider and can be activated from a control panel?

• A. Call/Send Controls
• B. Traveling Cable
• C. AC/DC Motor
• D. Riser Calculation

Answer: (A)

Call/Send controls are the interface that summons a stairlift to a waiting rider and can be activated from a control panel on the chair or at the landings. When you press the call button at a landing or use the send control on the chair, a command is sent to the drive system to move the carriage along the track toward that rider. The traveling cable carries the power and signals needed for the drive system to respond as the chair moves. The motor provides the actual motion, but it only runs in response to the call/send command delivered through this control system. Riser calculation isn’t involved in moving the chair; it’s about stair geometry.
