Ceiling lift
Emergency Brake
The emergency brake consists of a metal bar fixed to
the drum and functions similarly to a car seat belt
mechanism.
In the unlikely event of a transmission or motor
failure, the centrifugal force produced will quickly
throw the metal bar against the frame, blocking the
descent.
Battery Information
The life cycle (number of charging cycles) of the
batteries is largely dependent on the depth of
discharge within each cycle. The more the batteries
are drained, the shorter their overall life span. The
life of the batteries is also related to such factors as
varying temperatures and rest periods between when
they are charged and discharged.
See Fig. 9 for a graph illustrating the relationship
between the number of lifts versus the load being
lifted.
NOTE: To prolong battery life, return the
ceiling lift to the charger whenever the
ceiling lift is not in use.
If the low battery indicator beeps, and a
green light flashes, be sure to recharge the
batteries as soon as possible. Charge the
batteries until the charging indicator light
is a solid yellow before using the lift again.
This will extend the life of the batteries.
NOTE: Arjo uses sealed lead-acid
batteries. These batteries do not have any
memory effect. Therefore, batteries should
not be completely drained before
recharging.
CAUTION: Never leave a ceiling lift with the
power on for an extended period of time
without returning it to the charger. The
batteries will be drained and damaged.
Indicator Lights
The ceiling lift and the charging system have many
indicator lights. It is important to understand their
significance for the proper use and comprehension of
the ceiling lift (see Fig. 10).
Charging the Batteries
The steps for recharging the batteries are as follows:
1) The green indicator light will begin flashing if
batteries are low and need to be recharged. If the
light does not turn on, verify the
“Troubleshooting” section of this manual.
2) With a four-way unit, use the right or left button
or press the return to charge button on the
handset; if you chose to activate this feature. A
protection device prevents the ceiling lift from
returning to the charger if a patient is in the
ceiling lift during this operation. With a two-way
unit, slide the cassette back to the charger until
the contact blades on the lift make contact with
the charging station.
3) The yellow indicator light will flash when the
ceiling lift cassette has returned to the charger
and the batteries are being charged. Once the
charge is complete the light will stop flashing and
become a solid yellow light.
WARNING: Do not operate the charger unit
with a damaged cord or if the unit has been
dropped or damaged.
Do not bend the power cord by force, or
place a heavy object on it. This will damage
the cord and may cause fire or electrical
shock.
WARNING: Batteries need to be charged for
a minimum of 8 hours prior to the initial use
of the lift.
