Arjo Tempo - Patient Positioning Function Cut Out Fuse

19
The fundamental difference being, that the “P.P.P.”
spreader bar has the added advantage of enabling
the patient positioning manoeuvre to be performed
with minimal physical effort by the attendant.
Rotation of the P.P.P. spreader bar is manual and is
the same as the manual patient positioning spreader
bar.
The (P.P.P.) is fully waterproof and is classified by
ARJO as a wet environment unit and has a blue and
white circular label to qualify this, attached. (See
“Labels” Section). This label signifies that the
lower end of the unit may be immersed in bath
water, or used for showering.
When ready to perform the patient positioning
function (as described previously) operate the
P.P.P. control switch (see fig. 27) to achieve
spreader bar movement in the required direction. A
label situated near the switch is for easy direction
recognition (see also “labels” section).
Powered movement will continue until the limit of
travel has been reached, or until pressure is released
from the control switch.
The spreader bar will remain firmly in position,
once powered movement has ceased.
Powered patient positioning function
cut out fuse
If a solid obstruction is encountered accidentally
during upward or downward movement then an
automatic cut out fuse will operate to protect the
system. The fuse will reset quickly once powered
movement has ceased, the obstruction or lifter
should be moved to avoid this re-occurring. If the
patient positioning function cut out fuse operates
again, withdraw the lifter from use and contact
ARJO Service department.
