JOERNS OXFORD PRESENCE (01) PDF Document

The intended use of the JOERNS OXFORD PRESENCE lifting device is for the safe lifting and transfer of an individual from one resting surface to another (such as a bed to a wheelchair) over a short distance. It is an electrically operated patient lift designed to support and promote safe patient handling and transfer for both the patient and carer.

The JOERNS OXFORD PRESENCE is suitable for patients in SITTING, SITTING/RECUMBENT, and RECUMBENT positions.

WARNING: JOERNS OXFORD PRESENCE Patient Lifts should only be operated by fully trained/competent caregivers.

WARNING: The JOERNS OXFORD PRESENCE is heavy and will need to be lifted with care. You may need assistance to lift it from the carton.

1. Remove all parts from the carton and place them on the floor, taking care to protect the finish from damage. Place the chassis in a clear space and apply the rear brakes.

2. Fit the mast and boom assembly into the chassis socket.

3. Tighten the mast assembly with the mast-locking device, which is located at the front of the chassis. Turn the locking knob until hand tight.

WARNING: Avoid trapping fingers. Keep fingers away from the end of the mast when inserting it into the chassis socket. Full engagement of the mast is indicated by the label on the side of the mast. The electric leg operation will not function unless the mast is fully engaged.

4. Line the handle assembly up to the rear of the mast, and attach using the fixings provided. The fixings and wrench are kept in the user instruction wallet. NOTE: When attaching the handle, be sure that all trailing wires are left outside the handle before fixing.

5. Fit the power pack to the lift and make sure the latch holding the pack in place is fully engaged. It should “click” into place.

The Integrated APC must be attached to the lift and connected electrically by a competent person before use.

To connect the cradle:

1. Lift the Integrated APC up towards the boom aperture.

2. Insert the pin sleeve through the plastic end cap to support the Integrated APC.

3. Once aligned in the boom aperture, reinsert the quick release pin fully into the sleeve until it locks into position. You must check that the pin is securely fitted. To do this, press your finger into the barbed end. If the pin remains stationary, the lift is safe to use.

To make the electrical connection:

Ensure the battery is disconnected and the control box is powered off.

1. Remove the cable grip from the boom using a small flat blade screwdriver. Find and pull the ends of the wires through the hole in the side of the boom.

2. Connect the bullet terminals on the ends of the wires to the bullet terminals on the end of the wires from the Integrated APC.

3. Fit the cable grip around the cable 150mm from the point the cable enters the cradle connection pin.

4. Feed any excess wire, including the bullet terminals, through the hole and into the boom.

5. Fit the cable grip back into the hole in the boom, ensuring it is pressed all the way in.

6. Check there is still 150mm of free cable length between the boom and the Integrated APC.

Always check the following before operating your JOERNS OXFORD PRESENCE:

• The mast is fully locked into position.

• The legs of the lift open and close satisfactorily using the hand control.

• The red emergency stop button, located on the rear of the control box, is in the OFF (out) position.

• Push the up and down buttons on the hand control to confirm the boom rises and lowers.

• On models with an Integrated APC, push the seated person buttons on the hand control and confirm the cradle re-positions accordingly.

• YOUR lift is for patient lifting. DO NOT use it, or allow it to be used, for any other purpose.

• DO NOT bump the lift down steps, loaded or unloaded.

• DO NOT attempt to negotiate a loaded lift on a slope which exceeds 1:12 (approximately 5 degrees).

• DO NOT attempt to negotiate a slope without a second helper being present.

• ALWAYS check the hoist is not charging before moving as the electrical connection may be damaged.

The Oxford Smart Monitor allows you to read out servicing information. Access this information by a ½ second press on the ‘UP’ button on the user handset or the redundant ‘UP’ button on the Smart Monitor. The display shows:

• 12034 (example): Total Lifting Cycles

• 1257000 (example): Total Work Done (Amps * Seconds)

• 7 (example): Number of Overloads

• 90/180 (example): Number of Days (since last service) / Number of Days (between services)

Service & Usage Information:

• Service Symbol (Spanner): When it is time for a service, this symbol will appear on the display, and an audible signal will sound when the handset is activated. Contact your authorised service provider to arrange a service.

• Overload Symbol (Weight/MAX): If the lift stops due to an overload, this symbol will appear, and the lift will cease to operate until the additional load is removed.

WARNING: If the LCD display has recorded an overload, it is recommended that ALL routine daily checks are carried out on the lift prior to further use.

Battery Information:

• Full Battery Symbol: The battery is fully charged and the lift is ready for use.

• Half Empty Battery Symbol: It is time to charge the battery.

• Empty Battery Symbol (with a line through it): The battery has no capacity left and should be placed on charge immediately.

1. Leg adjustment: The legs are electrically adjustable for width. Press the appropriate buttons on the hand control to open the legs for access around chairs or close them for narrow doorways. The legs lock when the button is released.

2. Castors and Braking: The lift has two braked castors for parking. When lifting, the castors should be un-braked to allow the lift to move to the centre of gravity.

3. Raising and lowering the boom: Use the UP and DOWN buttons on the hand control. The actuator stops automatically at the limit of travel in both directions.

4. Repositioning the Integrated APC (on selected models): Use the two buttons on the hand control depicting a seated person to adjust the cradle’s tilt. The cradle position locks when the button is released.

5. Emergency Stop: The red Emergency Stop Button is located on the front of the control box. Pressing it in cuts all power. To reset, twist the button anticlockwise and release.

6. Redundant controls: Raise and lower buttons are located on the control box underneath the emergency stop button. These can be used if the hand control fails.

7. Mechanical Emergency Down: In case of a complete electrical failure, the actuator has a spring-loaded mechanical lowering device (RED BOSS). This only works when the lift is under load. Twist the device by hand and release it to activate a slow descent. Repeat until the patient is safely lowered. WARNING: If this feature is used, the lift MUST be subsequently checked by a competent engineer.

8. Batteries: A LOW VOLTAGE ALARM will sound when the batteries need recharging and the hand control is being operated. Do not ignore this alarm. Complete the lifting operation and place the lift on charge.

WARNING: If your JOERNS OXFORD PRESENCE is fitted with an Integrated APC, do not attempt to remove it. The power cord will not allow effective removal, and damage to the lift may occur.
