The LA43 Intelligent Control (IC) enables a simple system consisting of 1 or 2

actuators, a Switch Mode Power Supply and a hand control or a footswitch.

The system is for example an advantage when there is no space for a control box.

Usage:

• Duty cycle: 10 %, 2 minutes continuous use followed by 18 minutes not in use

• Usage temperature: + 5 ºC to + 40 ºC

• Storage temperature: -10 ºC to + 50 ºC

• Compatibility: SMPS30

• Approvals: IEC60601-1

Recommendations

• The actuator is not suitable for outdoor applications

• If there is a risk of “pull forces” in the application, the actuator must be equipped with electrical spline to avoid damage in pull.

• If the actuator is operated without load (e.g. loose on a table) the electrical spline can activate and the actuator cannot run in an inwards direction.

Push the back ﬁxture and the actuator can be operated again.

• Connection bolts must be dimensioned so that they have the necessary strength in order to obtain the minimum safety factor according to the

requirements of the authorities.

• The actuator must not be subject to a side load, as this can cause bending. It is also for this reason that the actuator should not be used as a

handle, e.g pulling a patient hoist sideways.

• The actuator must not be subject to off centre loading, as this can damage the actuator.

• The actuator must not be subject to impact, or any form of stress to the casing.

• The actuator must not be subject to overload, as this can reduce the lifetime of the actutor and in the worst case cause damage to the actuator.

• The actuator must not be used in pull applications, as this can cause collapse.

• Only use the actuator within the speciﬁed working limits.

• It is recommended that the actuator is serviced according to the relevant national norms for the applications in which the actuator is used.

• Connection bolts and brackets are to be inspected in connection with service, and must be replaced if there are signs of wear.

The safety function: Electrical Spline, should be checked in connection with service.

The function is checked by applying a straight pull of max. 100 N to the piston rod.

The actuator must not be able to run in an inward direction.

Hereafter press the piston rod and the actuator can run in an inward direction.

• The actuator should be cleaned regularly, in order to maintain a good hygiene.

• The application must be tested for correct functionality before putting it back into operation.

• Do not step or kick on the actuator as it may damage the housing or the motor.

Safety concept:

The user is a part of the safety concept. A light on the SMPS30 is green when a button on the hand control is not activated. When a switch is activated

the light changes to orange. Orange indicates that power request is on.

When the light is orange and a button is not activated there is a fault on the system. And the user must call for service.
