Return To Charge - Handicare PRISM MEDICAL C450 Owner's Manual

Return To Charge (If Equipped)
Caution: Always ensure the carry bar is attached to the lift before activating RTC function. The
added weight of the carry bar is required to ensure correct working of limit switches. Failure to
have carry bar attached can result in limit switch error , refer to "Troubleshooting" Section at page 25
for recommended solution.
Caution: Always use extreme care when moving the traversing beam. Watch out for and avoid
any obstructions that may cause injury to the individual in the sling, or damage to the lift/track.
C450/ C625 - User Guide (753101)
If your motorized, traversing lift has a return-to-charge feature
(RTC), pressing & holding the blue and yellow colored directional
hand control buttons simultaneously for 3-5 seconds (to produce beep-
ing noise) will automatically retract the lift's carry bar and drive the
lift along its track until it docks at the charger.
The new weight sensitive adaptive return-to-charge feature offers
added protection during RTC movement. The salient features of new
"Load Sensitive RTC" are as under
1) If user/operator may have accidentally enabled RTC while a pa-
tient is in the lift , the RTC function will stop automatically by
sensing excess load on the lift during RTC. The overload threshold
is between 35-50 lbs. (15.8-22.6Kg).
2) During RTC, if lift carry bar accidentally gets tangled with obsta-
cles , furniture , drapery etc., the lift will automatically detect the
change in the load and if any variation of more than 15-30 Lbs.
(6.8-13.6Kg) is detected the lift will stop automatically.
Note:- RTC feature can always be interrupted manually by either
pressing any buttons on the hand control or by holding the carry
bar firmly as shown in figure.
Note that the RTC feature has several characteristics that may be al-
tered to the user's preference:
RTC Max. Time may be set anywhere from 60 sec to 240 sec in 60 sec
increments and represents the maximum time allowed for the lift to
travel to and dock at the charger before aborting the operation.
RTC Drop Time may be set anywhere from 3 sec to 24 sec in 3 sec
increments and represents the time the lift devotes to lowering the car-
ry bar upon docking at the charger.
RTC Speed may be set to 2, 4, 6, or 8 and represents the relative speed
the lift travels at to reach the charger.
Contact your Service Technician to change these settings.
