INSTALLATION - DOOR SWITCH
Lippert Components, Inc. (LCI) recommends the use of the LCI supplied switch. However, if another switch is to be used, it must be a switch held
open in the presence of a magnet and should have a triggering distance of no more than one inch.
Steps are designed to extend when the door switch closes (magnet is removed) and the switch completes the ground.
The Door Switch is ideally installed 6 inches above the floor on the hinge side of the door frame. The magnet will be installed on the door
immediately opposite. The distance between the magnet and the switch should be determined by trial unit the steps begin to extend when the door
is open around 6 inches.
Wires are best installed out of sight and away from sharp objects and potential snags. It is very important that a good ground is supplied in an
area not likely to corrode, as this can contribute to step failure.
NOTE: Installation of the Door Switch is a critical element in the installation of the step. The switch must be installed so that any flexing of the
door frame does not cause the step to extend. Conversely, the switch must trip early enough so when the door is opened, the steps extend prior to
the passenger exiting the coach. The steps should begin extending prior to the door opening 6 inches.
