6 Environmental Conditions
The sections below will give detailed information regarding the environmental conditions the product should
maintain throughout its life cycle. Failure to adhere to these conditions may negatively impact the function of
the product. If you are unsure of any environmental conditions, always seek advice.
6 . 1 Operating Environment
The ceiling track hoist is designed for indoor use in dry environments.
.
The hoist is intended to be used within a professional healthcare facility or home healthcare environment and is
not suitable for any other environment.
The hoist is not intended to be used in environments where there are rapid changes in the environmental
temperature and humidity.
The ceiling track hoist suffers little from any effects of lint, dust, and light.
• Lint – Due to the nature of the hoist being installed closely to the ceiling, very little lint would be likely
to gain access into the hoist’s workings. The ceiling hoist is recommended as per service guide to be
wiped cleaned during every hoist inspection.
• Dust – Due to the nature of the hoist being installed closely to the ceiling, very little dust would be likely
to gain access into the hoist’s workings.
• Light – The user controls have been designed to be easily recognisable and the use of bright colours
will help the user through all ranges of lighting. The Specification of the ceiling hoist dictates that
normal use would occur during ambient luminance 50 – 500 lux. Additional as the hoist is designed for
indoor use only, if required the user may wish to switch on room lighting. The LCD display on the hoist is
backlit to aid with user interaction.
6 . 1 . 1 Normal Operating Conditions
+5°C to +40°C (41°F to 104°F) at a relative humidity between 15% to 90% RH, non-condensing but not requiring a
water vapour pressure greater than 50hPa and atmospheric pressure between 700hPa to 1060hPa.
6 . 2 Storage Conditions
The hoist is designed for usage indoors under normal environmental conditions and it should be kept in a dry
room. Avoid storing it in environments with rapid temperature changes. Before storing it, ensure that the
product is cleaned and dried properly. For more information, please refer to the instructions on cleaning.
6 . 2 . 1 Shipping and Storage Conditions
-25°C to +5°C (-13ºF to 41ºF) with any humidity level.
+5°C to +35°C (41°F to 95°F) at a relative humidity up to 90%.
+35°C to 70°C non-condensing at a water vapour pressure up to 50hPa.
12 Hours are required for the ceiling hoist to cool from the maximum storage temperature until ready for its
intended use when the ambient temperature is 20°C (68°F).
12 Hours are required for the ceiling hoist to warm from the minimum storage temperature until ready for its
intended use when the ambient temperature is 20°C (68°F).
