If your motorized, traversing
lift has a
return-to-charge feature (RTC)
,
pressing & holding the blue and yellow colored directional hand control
buttons simultaneously for 3-5 seconds (to produce beeping noise) will
automatically retract the lift’s carry bar and drive the lift along its track
until it docks at the charger.
C-1000’s is equipped with new
weight sensitive adaptive return-to-
charge feature,
which
offers added protection during RTC movement.
The salient features of new “Load Sensitive RTC” are as under
1) If user/operator may have accidentally enabled RTC while a patient is
in the lift , the RTC function will stop automatically by sensing ex-
cess load on the lift during RTC. The overload threshold is between
40-70 lbs.
2) During RTC , if lift carry bar accidentally gets tangled with obsta-
cles , Furniture , drapery etc., the lift will automatically detect the
change in the load and if any variation of more than 15-30 Lbs. is de-
tected the lift will stop automatically.
Note:- RTC feature can always be interrupted manually by either
pressing any buttons on the hand control or by holding the carry bar
firmly.
Note that the RTC feature has several characteristics that may be altered
to the user’s preference:
RTC Max. Time may be set anywhere from 60 sec to 240 sec in 60 sec
increments and represents the maximum time allowed for the lift to travel
to and dock at the charger before aborting the operation.
RTC Drop Time may be set anywhere from 3 sec to 24 sec in 3 sec incre-
ments and represents the time the lift devotes to lowering the carry bar
upon docking at the charger.
RTC Speed may be set to 2, 4, 6
or 8 and represents the relative speed the
lift travels at to reach the charger.
Contact your Service Technician to change these settings.
Return To Charge (If Equipped)
Figure 8D - Press & Hold the blue and
yellow color hand control buttons simul-
taneously to activate the RTC feature.
Caution: Always use extreme care when moving the traversing beam. Watch out for
and avoid any obstructions that may cause injury to the individual in the sling, or
damage to the lift/track.
Caution: Always ensure the carry bar is attached to the lift before activating RTC
function. The added weight of the carry bar is required to ensure correct working of
limit switches. Failure to have carry bar attached can result in limit switch error , refer
to “Troubleshooting” Section at page 25 for recommended solution.
