Automatic cut out:- (not an operator control but a
function built into the lifter electronics)
If the lifter is inadvertently overloaded (trying to
lift a patient heavier than permitted), an automatic
‘cut out’ operates to prevent the lifter lifting a load
in excess of one and a half times the maximum
rated load; this will stop the lift motion
automatically.
If this occurs, when pressure is released from the
lift button on the handset or dual control the
electronics will, after a short delay, reset and enable
the patient to be lowered only by pressing either
lower button. Remove the patient from the lifter.
Automatic stop function:- (not an operator control
but a function built into the lifter electronics)
Great care should be taken not to lower the spreader
bar, or stretcher onto the patient or any other
obstruction, but if this should happen inadvertently
the motor will stop and downward movement will
be held by the obstruction. If this occurs release
pressure from the ‘lower’ button immediately,
operate the ‘raise’ button until clear, then remove
the obstruction.
Battery Discharge Indicator:- (See fig 5) Is a
small LED display which shows the charge
condition of the lifter battery. (See also ‘Battery
Charging Section’ for complete description).
Service Indicator:- (See fig 5) Is a small LCD
display which shows the total duration of powered
operation (in hours) of the lifting and lowering
procedure. This is primarily intended as an aid to
service engineers.
Adjustable width chassis legs:- (See fig 8) By
operating the appropriate button on either the
control handset or dual control panel on the lifter
the chassis legs can be opened to any variable
width. When pressure is released from the button,
movement will stop and the chassis legs will
remain securely in position. Always transport the
chassis legs in the narrow (closed) position.
Chassis castor Brakes:- (See fig 9) The chassis
rear castors have brakes which can be foot operated
if required, for example, when leaving the patient
unattended, or to keep the Opera in position.
Jib and spreader bars/stretcher frame:-
(see fig 1) If your Opera has not been supplied with
a ‘dedicated’ or permanently attached, powered
patient positioning 4 point spreader bar (P.P.P.)
then it will be supplied with the ‘Lock and Load’
system jib. This jib is fitted with a carrier, able to
accommodate any of the Opera jib attachments, eg.
2/4 point spreader bars, stretcher frame etc. (see
“Using your Opera” section for full instructions on
fitting or changing attachments).
Warning: If the system cut out switch
operates again withdraw the lifter from
use and contact ARJO Service
Department.
