Overview of TRANSACTIVE XTRA hoist system The TRANSACTIVE XTRA is a hoisting aid used by health care professionals and those providing care in the home to hoist, position and transfer clients or a disabled family member. The TRANSACTIVE XTRA hoist is part of what is termed ceiling hoist technology which takes advantage of hoisting from above and not from below or the side. Additionally the ceiling hoist does not take up valuable floor space as most traditional methods do. Finally, the ceiling hoist makes it possible to move mobility impaired individuals with minimal strain or risk to the carer, while providing complete safety, dignity and comfort for the client or family member. The TRANSACTIVE XTRA hoist is one of three major components that make up this technology. The other two components Are the track and sling. The TRANSACTIVE XTRA hoist runs on the hoist track which is securely mounted to the ceiling structure of the institution, or home with the use of ceiling brackets. The track itself is made of specially designed aluminium and comes in many different shapes, lengths and configurations, and is custom tailored and installed to meet your specific requirements. The third component, the sling, is a specially designed fabric accessory that attaches to the hoist by means of a carry bar and straps, and holds an individual while the hoist, positioning or transfer takes place. Both the track and sling are generally supplied with the hoist at the initial time of purchase. Please refer to any user guides supplied with the TRANSACTIVE XTRA hoist and reference them while reviewing this manual. The TRANSACTIVE XTRA is a fixed ceiling hoist, that is, it always remains on the hoist track. It has the ability to raise an individual up from one location such as bed, move the individual along the track to another location and finally lower the individual into a chair or bath. It is moved along the track in one of two ways. The first is by manually moving the hoist along the track with the aid of a carer. The second is by having the hoist with powered traverse. The functions of hoisting up or down, or moving to the left or right, are accomplished by pressing buttons of a pneumatically (air) operated hand control. The hand control is attached to the hoist by way of a rubber airline tubing. Due to the design of the hoist system, it takes very little effort to press a button to perform the desired motion. Please refer to figures 1A and 1B to see sample floor plans of an installed hoist system. Refer to figures 2A and 2B to familiarize yourself with the components of the TRANSACTIVE XTRA hoist. Figures 3A and 3B show the underside view of the hoist as it would be seen by an operator.

Attaching the airline tube to the hoist Caution: A sturdy ladder may be required in order to access the underside of the hoist to re-attach the rubber airline of the hoist. Caution should be used when this is required. Should you have any concerns or questions contact your local authorised Freeway dealer Should the grey rubber airline that connects the hoist to the hand control become disengaged from the underside of the hoist it must be re-connected in order for the hoist to work properly.

Figure 13A - Grey rubber grommet located on underside of hoist. Rubber airline is not connected. Note grey rib on grommet.

The rubber airline may become disconnected for the following reasons: 1) The hoist is pulled along the track by the airline. 2) The tubing accidentally gets wrapped around an object while a hoist or transfer is being performed. 3) It is accidentally pulled out by the carer or the individual being hoisted. The airline is connected to a grey rubber grommet located on the underside of the hoist. Refer to figure 13A.

Metal pins that get inserted into the holes of the grommet of the hoist.

Figure 13B - Grey rubber airline being inserted into rubber grommet of hoist. The grey ribs on both pieces are lined up. The metal ribbed pins are on the airline.

Small metal ribbed pins located at the end of the airline hold the airline to this rubber grommet in a specific manner. Therefore it is important to make sure that the airline is connected properly. Both the grey airline and the rubber grommet have a grey rib on one of their sides. Line up the grey ribs together. Refer to figure 13B. When this is done then the metal ribbed pins attached to the end of the airline can be re-inserted into the corresponding holes in the rubber grommet on the underside of the hoist. Be sure to insert the pins into the grey rubber grommet sufficiently so that it is secure. Refer to figure 13C. Perform a brief test to ensure proper connectivity. Turn the hoist ON and OFF. Raise and lower the carry bar. For motorised traverse hoists move the hoist left and then right. If these functions work correctly then the airline is properly connected.

Pieces connected together

Figure 13C - Grey rubber airline being inserted into rubber grommet of hoist. The grey ribs on both pieces are lined up. The metal ribbed pins are on the airline. Transactive Xtra User Guide

If the hoist does not work properly, check to ensure that the grey ribs on the grey rubber grommet on the underside of the hoist and the airline tubing are lined up properly. If they are not lined up properly, then remove the airline, line up the grey lines and then re-insert it into the rubber grommet. Perform the test as noted in the preceding paragraph. If there are still problems with the hoist then contact your local authorised dealer for service. 10.04.08

Figure 4A - Manual traverse hand control

Press any button to turn ON

Press any button to turn ON

Figure 4B - Power traverse hand control

Figure 4C - Motorised traverse H - System hand control

To operate the hoist it must first be turned ON with the use of the hand control. This can be done by pressing any button on the hand control. The indicator light located on the underside of the hoist will turn GREEN and the display screen will turn on. Refer to Figure 4D. If the hoist fails to turn ON at anytime, ensure that the EMERGENCY STOP/ LOWERING CORD has not been pulled and that the plastic clip at the end of the red cord has not come out, see page 13 for details. To conserve battery power the hoist will automatically shut off after approximately 2 minutes on non-use. If the batteries of the hoist are low and require charging, the indicator light located on the underside of the hoist will turn ORANGE, and a slow beeping audible alarm will sound. The display will also indicate low battery. If the batteries of the hoist are completely discharged and require charging, the indicator light located on the underside of the hoist will turn RED, and a fast beeping audible alarm will sound.

Operation Raising / lowering the Carry Bar

Figure 5A - Power traverse hand control showing raising/ lowering functions Moving the hoist along the track

By pressing the DOWN arrow button, or the UP arrow button, the carry bar can be lowered/ raised to the correct height for attaching the sling or positioning an individual. Refer to figure 5A and 5B

Figure 5B - Hoist showing raising / lowering of carry bar.

It is recommended that the carer (operator) hold the carry bar with one hand while this is being done so that it will not accidentally sway and/ or come into contact with an individual or close object. These buttons work the same on each model of the hoist.

Moving the hoist along the track The hoist is normally parked at the charging station end of the track when not in use. It can be moved along the track to a position directly above the person to be hoisted in one of two ways.

Figure 6A - Motorised traverse hand control showing coloured buttons Figure 6B - Hoist showing horizontal movement. Arrows are for motorised versions

If you have a manually traversing hoist lower the carry bar to a comfortable height such that it can be easily grabbed by your hand. Move the hoist along the track by gently pushing the carry bar, or individual in the sling. Never pull the hoist along the track using the handset airline.

If you have a motorised traversing hoist, use the blue or yellow coloured directional hand control buttons to move the hoist. The blue and yellow buttons correspond to the blue and yellow directional arrows on the underside of the hoist. The direction therefore that is taken is determined by the colour of the button that is pressed. This works the same no matter what side of the hoist a person is standing on. Refer to figures 6A, 6B and 6C. Figure 6C - Directional arrows on underside of hoist

Transactive Xtra User Guide

Caution: Always use extreme care when moving the hoist along the track. Watch out for and avoid any obstructions that may cause injury to the individual in the sling and/ or damage to the hoist. 10.04.08

Operation Moving the H - System traversing beam If the installed track is an H - System then this section should be reviewed as it describes how to move the traversing beam. If the installed track is not an H - System then this section can be skipped.

Figure 7A - Sample of H - System room covering layout. Note that the hoist can be moved along the traversing beam, and that the traversing beam itself can be moved along the two parallel support tracks. The actual direction of travel when the hand control buttons are pressed may be different than shown, since the track and hoist orientation may be different than installed.

Figure 7B - Power traverse H - System hand control showing traversing beam movement buttons. Button colours correspond to the black and white directional arrows located on the underside of the hoist.

The H - System involves the installation of two parallel support tracks and one traversing beam that is mounted perpendicular to the two support tracks. Refer to figure 7A. The benefit of this type of system is that it provides greater movement and positioning ability for an individual since the floor space coverage area is much higher than for a single piece of track. Besides the previously described UP/ DOWN movement of the carry bar, and LEFT/ RIGHT movement of the hoist, the H - System adds the ability to move the traversing beam anywhere along the length of the two parallel support tracks. Refer to figure 7A.

Figure 7C - Directional arrows on underside of power traverse H - System hoist. Black and white arrows show traversing beam direction of travel when the corresponding coloured button is pressed on the hand control.

This can be accomplished in one of two ways. If the installed H - traversing beam is manually traversing then the beam is moved along the support tracks by manually moving the beam, hoist, and individual in one motion. This movement is the same as that used for a manual traversing hoist, as previously described. If the installed H - System traversing beam is motorised traversing then the beam is moved along the support tracks by pressing either the black or white hand control button. Refer to figure 7B. This will move the beam in the direction of travel as noted by the black and white arrows located on the underside of the hoist. Refer to figure 7C.

Caution: Always use extreme care when moving the traversing beam. Watch out for and avoid any obstructions that may cause injury to the individual in the sling, or damage to the hoist/ track. Transactive Xtra User Guide

Return to Charge

If your motorised, traversing hoist has a return-to-charge feature (RTC), pressing & holding the blue and yellow coloured directional hand control buttons simultaneously for 3-5 seconds (to produce beeping noise) will automatically retract the hoist’s carry bar and drive the lift along its track until it docks at the charger. Note that the RTC feature has several characteristics that may be altered to the user’s preference. This will be set during installation.

Hand Control Hook Your hoist has come with an optional Hand Control Hook. This Hand Control Hook can be installed onto the Hand Control using the self tapping screws provided with the plastic hook. On the back of the Hand Control there will be 2 small pilot holes where the self tapping screws should be screwed into. See figure 7D for a Hand Control with the Plastic Hook already assembled. Figure 7E demonstrates the use of the plastic hook with your hoist.

Charging the Hoist The charger for the hoist is mounted in the end of the track. The charger would have been installed at the same time as the track and hoist were installed. The batteries should be charged on a regular basis. It is recommended that the hoist be left on charge when not in operation, and at the end of each day. This will maximise the life cycle of the batteries. The hoist may remain connected to the charger indefinitely since the hoist has a built-in regulator, eliminating the danger of overcharging. To charge the hoist it is a simple matter of moving the hoist to the end of the track where the charger is located. Refer to previously outlined sections on how to move the hoist along the track. As a general rule it is recommended that the carry bar be raised to a height so that it will not interfere with anything or anyone. Caution: For manually traversing hoists use caution when parking the hoist into the charger. A slow speed should be used when close to the end of the track where the charger is located. The light will turn ORANGE on the hoist control panel and a slow beeping audible alarm will sound if the batteries are low and require charging. The display screen will also indicate low battery. Complete the transfer that is in progress and then move hoist to the end of the track where the charger is located. Following the ORANGE indicator, the light will turn RED on the hoist control panel and a fast beeping audible alarm will sound indicating the batteries are fully discharged and require charging. The display screen will also indicate low battery. When the battery is discharged the UP function will be disabled. The DOWN and EMERGENCY DOWN function along with H - TRAVERSING will continue to operate. When the hoist is connected to the charger and turned ON, the indicator light on the hoist will FLASH ORANGE . Once the hoist is turned OFF the indicator light will change to a solid ORANGE. This indicates that the hoist is on charge. After one hour, the hoist may be used, however, overnight charging is recommended. The EMERGENCY DOWN function along with H - TRAVERSING will continue to operate. Caution: Use only the charger that was supplied with the hoist. Use of any other charger will void all warranties and may cause damage to the hoist.

Figure 8A - Underside of hoist showing RED discharged battery indicator light ON. A fast beeping will be sounded. When the hoist is connected to the charger this light will be ORANGE indicating that the batteries are charging. Transactive Xtra User Guide
