Connecting The Handset To The Hoist - Prism CP User Manual

5.3 Connecting the Handset to the Hoist

A sturdy ladder or steps may be required in order to access the underside of the Hoist to attach the hand controller.
Caution should be used when this is required.
Should the cord that connects the Hoist to the hand controller become disengaged from the underside of the hoist it must be re-
connected in order for the Hoist to work.
The hand controller may become disconnected for the following reasons:
a. The Hoist is pulled along the track by the hand controller.
b. The hand controller cord accidentally gets wrapped around an object while a hoist or transfer is being performed.
c. It is accidentally pulled out by the carer or the individual being hoisted.
A connection plug, located at the end of the hand controller wire will make the connection to the Hoist via mating together of the
male and female sockets from the hand controller to the hoist itself.
To attach the Handset, align the groove circled in the image in the same orientation shown. The groove will be perpendicular to
the front face of the Hoist. If the alignment is not perfect, slowly rotate the handset until you feel the plug locating into the
socket.
The Electrical handset is connected to a female connector located on the underside of the hoist.

When the profile of the two mating parts are aligned. Push the handset connector upward into the port until it is fully located.

To fully secure the handset, twist the threaded lock on the handset connector until it is fully closed. (Figure 20)
Perform a brief test to ensure proper connectivity. Turn the Hoist ON and OFF and also use the hand controller to raise and lower
the carry bar. If these functions all work correctly, then the hand controller is correctly installed to the hoist.
If the Hoist does not work as expected after connection of the hand controller to the device, then please check firstly that the unit
has power to operate. This will be indicated by the LED indicator status on the unit.
To remove the handset, follow the procedure above in reverse.
