2.05 Configuration of supplementary modules, GH3 Before the GH3 is put into use, the hoist must be configured. Configuration covers language (Scale module/CLM module/Service module) and the unit for specification of weight (Scale module). Factory setting: Language: English (UK) Unit of weight: Scale module: The weight unit can be set to kg or lb.
Shock effects The GH3+ with scale module includes high-sensitive sensors to register mass corresponding to the nominal recommended load. The sensors are highly sensitive and can be damaged by the effects of shock, for example pulling the GH3+ at extreme speed into an end stop.
2 .07 Scale module (GH3+ with integrated scale module) The GH3+ with scale module (option) provides the facility to determine the user’s weight. Warning! If the scale is required to comply with the Non-automatic weighing instru- ments directive (EU Directive 2014/31/EU), a Class III scale must be used.

2.09 Calibration/verification of Classe III Scale In order to maintain the medical approval the digital scale must be calibrated/ verified according to national regulatory requirements at an accredited testing institute. Software version and change counter are verified on the hand control’s dis- play.
2 .10 CLM module (GH3 with statistical function for management use) The GH3 with CLM module (option) includes a management tool that saves important information on the use of the lifting module and which can be used to evaluate the system’s efficiency and utilisation, as well as to optimise its use and hoist name/location.

1. Press any key on the GH3 hand control to activate the hoist. When the lifting module is activated, the display on the hand control is switched on and the Guldmann logo “G” appears. 2. Select “Menu” using the function key located below the display.
2 .11 Service module (GH3 with service module) The GH3 with Service module (option) saves all of the information about time and indication of next safety/service inspection. The GH3 with Service module specifies the date of the next safety/service inspection.
Page 34
Pop-Up’s for Service module (supplementary module) There are two different Pop-Up’s (brief messages on the display) on the GH3 with Service module. These pop-up’s notify the user of upcoming and exceeded dates for service inspections. Both Pop-Up’s appear immediately after the hand control has been switched on.
GH3 Twin up to 500 kg/1100 lbs from approx. load 160 kg/350 lbs Emergency stop If the GH3 does not stop/react to the hand control when the GH3 is in use, pull the red strap and the lifting/lowering functions (except emergency lowering) are deactivated.
Page 36
Emergency lowering function, electric If the GH3 fails, the electrical emergency lowering function is used to lower the user safely. The emergency lowering function is operated by a constant pull on the red strap that is used for the emergency stop.
The indicator lamp on the bottom of the hoist turns yellow if the charge status becomes low or if there is a complete interruption to the charging function. The GH3 then has a limited number of lifts available at a time and must be re-charged.
The horizontal lifter may be used only for horizontal relocation of people lying on a level, horizontal surface. The person must be lying on a Guldmann sling or on another suitable sling. A level surface can be, for example, a bed, a stretcher or the floor.
For long-therm storage, disconnect the battery plugs and the plug at the charging PC from the battery. 4 .03 How to prevent/avoid corrosion? When the GH3 is mainly used in an corrosive environment, e.g. swimming pool, the hoist must be ordered with a special corrosion-preventive surface treatment.
Check the lifting sling for wear and damage before use. Do not use the lifting sling if it is damaged or defective. Do not use the GH3 if the lifting strap is damaged or defective. Contact your supplier and order a new lifting sling or a replacement of the lifting strap.
During the safety/service inspection a report must be prepared on what was checked and replaced. Parts that are worn or defective must be replaced with new parts from Guldmann. Spare parts drawings and documentation can be obtained from the manufacturer or supplier.
