Return to Charge
If your power traversing lift has a return-to-charge feature (RTC), press and hold the blue and yellow
colored directional hand controller buttons simultaneously for 3-5 seconds until the lift beeps. The lift
automatically retracts the carry bar and drives along the track until it docks at the charger.
The weight sensitive adaptive return-to-charge feature offers added protection during Return to Charge
movement. Significant features of the Load Sensitive RTC include:
•
If the user/operator inadvertently enables Return to Charge while a patient is in the lift, the Return to
Charge function stops automatically by sensing excess load on the lift.
• The overload threshold is approximately 10 lbs (4.5 kg) when equipped with a load cell. Without a
load cell, the lift has a 2 Amp overcurrent threshold.
•
During Return to Charge, if the lift's carry bar accidentally gets tangled with obstacles such as
furniture or drapery, the lift automatically detects the change in the load.
• If the load varies more than 15-30 lb (6.8-13.6 kg), lift stops automatically.
The Return to Charge feature can be interrupted manually either by pressing any button
on the hand controller or by grasping the carry bar firmly.
The Return to Charge feature does not work with power traversing lifts outfitted with
the Constant Charge (Omni) option.
13. Return to Charge features several settings that can be customized:
• RTC Max. Time - The maximum time allowed for the lift to travel to and dock at the charger before
aborting; may be set in 60 second increments from 60 to 240 seconds
• RTC Drop Time - The time the lift devotes to lowering the carry bar upon docking at the charger;
may be set in 3 sec increments from 9 to 24 seconds
• RTC Speed - The relative speed the lift travels at to reach the charger; may be set to 2, 4, or 8
Contact your Service Technician to change these settings.
Make sure the carry bar is attached to the lift before activating Return to Charge. The
added weight of the carry bar is required to ensure correct working of limit switches,
and failure to have carry bar attached can result in a limit switch error (see
"Troubleshooting" on page 22).
Avoid any obstructions that may cause injury to the individual in the sling or damage to
the lift or track.
