Default Display Modes:

The user can set either of the following as the ‘Default’ display mode:
1.– Battery Level (the factory setting for the Default Display Mode); or,
2.– Number of Lifts.

In Battery Level Mode the hoist will:
1.
Display the word, “Battery”, with the percentage charged (in 10% increments) in
the top row of the display (e.g., “Battery Level 60%”).
2.
Display a “Bar Graph” of the battery level in the second row of the display by
displaying the appropriate number of fully blackened rectangles as in the
following diagram (note: as there are 12 characters, the charge percentage will
be divided by 8.333 and rounded DOWN to determine how many rectangle
characters are shown):

incorrect. However, as soon as the hoist is actually operated, the charge level will
update to the correct level.

3.
Display the word, “Lifts”, with the number of lifts completed in the top row of the
