Because discharging the baeries fully reduces their lifespan considerably
and also aects the li capacity and ease of use, the Ceiling Hoist is equipped
with a system to prevent complete discharge.
During the orange status (secon 2.3.2), when charging is recommended but
not yet strictly necessary, the system will emit a beep every 10 seconds to
signal that the Ceiling Hoist needs to be charged (as soon as possible).
If this signal is ignored for a long me, then the Ceiling Hoist will go into red
status (secon 2.3.3). The system will now beep every other second. The only
funcon that will sll be available is lowering the hoisng belt.
The Ceiling Hoist should now be connuously charged for at
least 2 hours before it can be used again.
Baeries that are not used for an extended period of me will
gradually lose their charge. Allowing the baery to lose too
much charge harms its capacity and lifespan.
The red status is only reached when the orange status has
been ignored for a long me. However, if the red status follows
the orange status quickly, it is likely that the baeries have reached
the end of their lifespan. In this case, contact your distributor.

The height limit switch or limit stop (Figure 3, page 10) ensures that the
system switches o when the maximum li height is reached or if the care
recipient is hoisted at a skewed angle. You can sll lower the hoisng belt.
