The TRV only has one lock, which covers all positions. 

 

Remember that it is strictly forbidden to release both axles of rotation at 

the same time. 

 

3.3  Emergency exit  

In case of unexpected loss of electrical integrity/failure of electrical equipment (like the foot switch), the 

electromagnetic lock will stay locked.  

If the primary frame is blocked in a different position than vertical with head upright and if the patient 

cannot be release safely, the operator can pull on a manual release system (back of the column) to free 

the shaft and put the patient upright. 

 

3.4  Charging the battery 

The TRV chair is equipped with a single 24V battery that powers the magnetic lock for the primary frame. 

To charge the battery, first release it from the chair by pulling the lever on the backside of the battery’s 

top. Next, place the battery in the wall-mounted battery charger and charge it until the yellow light in the 

charger station extinguishes. 

 

     

       

 

 

In order to avoid any degradation of the battery, remove it if the equipment 

is not likely to be used for some time.
