Is SecureMax mandatory?
No. Limax absolute positioning is enough for most lifts; SecureMax, SIL 3 certified, is an option when the project requires safe positioning.
Do Demon Safe buttons fit an existing lift?
Yes, on Sodimas operating panels: they are fitted and wired in place of the existing buttons, with QI Touch, Qi, NG240, NG120 and NG12 controllers.
Does Airsafe 60 need maintenance?
Yes, filter replacement: every 90 days for the Germagic filter and every 360 days for the UV photocatalytic filter.
