10.4 Powered height
adjustment
The powered chassis can be easily adjusted
with the push button control handset. The
seat can be height adjusted with the client
in the chair. When one of the buttons on
the handset is pressed, then the seat will
move up or down in that direction until the
button is released again, or if the actuator
has reached the end of its stroke.The system
is started by inserting the battery into the
circular holder in the end of the control
box. Clean the magnetic poles for all dirt
or metal chips before inserting. The battery
will magnetically hold itself in place with the
correct position , and a confirming long beep
is heard.
10.5 Charging the
battery
The control box checks the battery level
every 24 seconds, and when the battery
reaches a low limit, then the control box will
give a double-beep every 24 seconds to
indicate that the battery needs recharging.
This is done in the "C3-charger", full
re-charging takes 5-8 hours, depending
on state of charge. To remove the battery,
turn it 90 degrees (right- or left) to release it
from the magnets . The battery (NiMH-type)
can be recharged from any state of charge
without reducing battery life or battery-
capacity.
When connecting the "C3-charger" to the
mains (100 – 240 V AC), the red diode lights
up continuously and a single flash in the
green diode appear before it turns off again.
When inserting the battery into the charger,
the green diode starts flashing with an
interval of 1/sec during the charging process.
When charging is finishing, the green diode
stops flashing and turns on continuously, the
battery is fully charged, can be removed and
is ready for use in the C3 controller.
Repeated runs at a high rate with heavy
loads, may create overheating inside the
battery – a safety interlock-temperature
sensor will disconnect the power. When
the battery has cooled down to accepted
working temperature the power switch on
automatically.
To secure long lifetime of NiMH batteries, it
is recommended to recharge the battery at
least every 3 months.
Beep signals:
Long beep: Power on (battery inserted)
Two short beeps: Every 24 seconds (when
the system is not in use): = indicating low
battery level, please recharge.
Two short beeps: When starting the actuator
= low voltage, please change battery soon,
or recharge—the battery will still give power,
but only limited time.
Long beep: When running the actuator =
battery lower than 17,6Volt (only down/in
movement will be accepted thereafter)
Continuous short beeps: (Temperature inside
control box too high, please take a break)
10.6 Height Adjustment –
Hi-low Chassis
You can carry out this adjustment with the
child in the chair. To adjust the height of the
Hi-low chassis press the foot lever at the rear
of the chassis or press the up button on the
handset of the powered option whilst holding
the push handle. Once you remove your
foot from the pedal or your thumb from the
handset the seat will be fixed at the chosen
height.
For safety the height adjustment pedal on
the chassis can be locked by engaging the
pull pin (C) on the right hand side of the
pedal. To unlock pull the pin out and rotate
90 degrees, the pedal can then be operated.
The locking pin (C) should be kept in the
locked position when you are not adjusting
the chassis.
