Using Multiple Lifts
11.
Using Multiple Lifts in the
Same Work Area
11.1
Adjusting lift communication frequency
If you have 4 or more lift units in the same work area, it is
possible to use them for separate lifting applications
(e.g., lifting two different vehicles at the same time). Each
set of lift units designated to work together to lift a
particular vehicle is considered a lift system. Different lift
units could be used in different lift systems at different
times. For example, two units may be used as a lift
system to raise the front end of a vehicle one day and
those same two lift units might be used as part of a 4-
unit lift system on another day. When using multiple lift
systems in the same work area:
1.
Identify the lift units to be used together in the lift
system.
2.
Before raising the vehicle, make sure each lift unit in
the lift system is fully lowered and the master on/off
switch is turned to the
OFF
position. This will ensure
that the lift system will know exactly how many lift
units are part of the lift system and they will all be
prepared to work together.
WARNING!

WARNING!
WARNING! Failure to turn the master on/off switch to
the
OFF
position could cause individual lift units to
retain incorrect settings from previous lifts or to retain
incorrect information from their use in previous lift
systems.
3.
During the lift system initialization (see Section 8.4)
make sure to select the same frequency for the Touch
Screen Controller and the lift units for the touch
screen communication and the same radio frequency
and channel for all lift units for lift communication.
Also, check the radio settings of all other lift units in
the work area that are not part of the current lift
system to make sure that no other lift systems (or any
other individual lift units) are using the same
frequency for touch screen communication or the
same frequency and channel for lift communication.
4.
More than one lift system can operate on the same
frequency as long as each system uses a different
channel. Once a frequency is found that allows for
operation with minimal signal loss faults, it is
recommended to use this frequency for all systems
unless
multiple
frequencies
give
satisfactory
performance. Multiple Touch Screen Controllers
cannot use the same frequency to operate separate
lift systems.
NOTE:
The wireless feature complies with Part 90 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is registration-free and there are no
licensing requirements for the end user.
