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.
