CAUTION: The Pow’r Up Option is not designed for
continuous use. Duty Cycle 5% Max, 1 min. / 19 min.
Raising the Lift - Press the UP (arrow up) button on the hand
control to lift the seat.
Lowering the Lift - Press the DOWN (arrow down) button on
the hand control to lower the seat.
Battery Replacement
The batteries are enclosed in the control box of the Pow’r Up
Lift (the black box where the cords are plugged in). Once the
batteries have reached the end of their life and need to be
replaced, do not open the control box; please contact Altimate
Medical Customer Service or your medical equipment dealer for
information about purchasing a replacement control box. It is
recommended that the batteries be replaced every four years.
Please contact your local recycling authority for information
about disposing of the old batteries.
IP Rating
The IP rating is a classification system indicating the protection
degree from dust, water and impact for electrical equipment
and enclosures. Pow’r Up Lift components are rated at IP21.
The definition for IP21 is as follows:
First character definition: 2 - Protected against solid foreign
objects of 12.5mm diameter and greater.
Second character definition: 1 - Protected against vertically
falling water drops.
Electromagnetic compatibility
Pow’r Up Option components have been designed and tested
to meet the applicable EMC requirements. Problems with the
EasyStand due to inadequate electromagnetic compatibility is
unlikely, however, if any unusual (such as intermittent)
behavior of the Pow’r Up option and the EasyStand is noticed
and it is being used next to possible interfering equipment such
as mobile phones, microwaves, or radio broadcast masts, this
could be an indication of electromagnetic interference. If such
behavior occurs, use the mechanical release to lower the unit
to the seated position and move the EasyStand away from the
interfering equipment. Please report any instance of
possible electromagnetic interference to AMI’s Customer
Service Department.
Charging the Battery
The EasyStand Pow’r Up Lift uses two 12 volt sealed lead batteries rated at 2.9 amps each. An
EasyStand can be lifted approximately 100 times on one full battery charge. An audible alarm will
sound when the battery is low. Please charge the battery after the
alarm sounds. A battery needing to be fully recharged will take
approximately 8 hours. The EasyStand can be raised to the
standing position while being charged. The function of the charger is
to detect a full battery and then provide a constant potential power
supply to hold the battery at a full condition without overcharging.
When the battery EMF rises to a factory preset point, the charger
circuit will not allow the peak output voltage to exceed that value.
This factory setting protects a battery from excessive depletion of
electrolyte, which can occur from overcharging. The charger can be
found in the tool pouch on the back of the unit.
CAUTION: Use only the Linak charger, model numbers 00CH01-XX
OR 10CH01S-00, provided by Altimate Medical with the Pow’r Up
option.
1. Plug the receptacle into a wall outlet. The light on the charger will be green indicating an open
circuit.
2. FIG
. 9- Plug the charger cord into the side of the hand control.
The light on the charger will turn yellow indicating the batteries are
being charged.
3. FIG . 10- The unit will arrive unplugged from the battery, plug in
the white cord that supplies power to the actuator and the black
cord that supplies power to the remote. The black cord has a notch
on it to orient the connector properly. Fully charge battery before
use.
Note: The white cord has a rubber washer on it, which makes it
very sticky and sometimes will not get pushed in completely, make
sure to push the cord all the way into the battery.
4. When the batteries are charged, the light on the charger will turn green.
5. Fully charge the batteries every three months or less during periods of intermittent or non-use.
CAUTION: Ensure the cables are attached properly per the instructions for use. Do not allow the
cables to drag on the floor or to catch on objects.
