Battery Management - Scaleo medical Poweo 140 Quick Up User Manual

The opening of the legs is also secured: in the case of a contact between a leg and an
obstacle, the legs will automatically stop moving. The leg opening movement stop is
therefore a warning for the user: it means that the security device is operating, so the
transfer of the patient is not secured.

Battery management

The Poweo 140-180 Quick Up are equipped with SCALEO® electronics, a NiMh battery and the
Poweo® charger, which contains advanced safety features, including electronic protections
against short circuits, over voltages and over temperature. If one of these parameters exceeds
the specified value, the battery will stop working, preventing the user from overheating and the
risk of fire.
When the LED indicator of the remote control turns red, it means that the battery needs to be
recharged. There is still enough power to perform at least one patient lowering.
When the battery discharge threshold is reached, the user is alerted by a beep. If the battery
does not recharge quickly, the display on the control box turns off and the up / down function
will not work.
Charging the battery
In accordance with current regulations, the Poweo® does not work while the battery is
being charged directly into the patient lifter.
If the emergency stop button is pressed, the battery will not charge.
The removal of the SCALEO® battery from the patient lifter does not require any manipulation.
It simply needs to be removed by pulling it towards you. Its shape prevents it from being
accidentally connected backwards or improperly, either in the patient lifter or in the external
charger.
The SCALEO® battery is exclusively charged using the external charger which is supplied by
default.
