Intended use

The distance strap is attached to the rail roller in the lift at one end and at the other end is the portable lift. The distance strap brings the portable lift at a reachable height for the care giver to transfer the lift to another room during the room-to-room transfer or when deattaching for transport to another room. Human Care distance straps are compatible with our portable lifts, called Altair and Roomer S.

Technical specifications

Use

• The distance straps are attached to the rail roller, see pictures with examples.
  The connection should always be a combination of connection between a hook and a loop.

• Define the right length of the distance strap:
  All rail rollers should be equipped with distance strap (inspected when installed) to come down to a recommended working height from the ceiling.
  If a rail roller with hook (20529) is used, the lift attaches directly to this.

Recommended working height
Recommended hook-up height approx. 1850-1900 mm from Roomer and approx. 1900-1950 mm for Altair.

NB: Shorter distance straps can be used to obtain greater lifting height if required.

• Distance straps must be chosen to enable safe and comfortable room-to-room transfer. If the ratio of the distance from the rail roller to the lift (A) and the distance between transfer points (B) is to great, it is possible that the unloaded lift belt will not be released (Roomer only).

NB: To ensure comfortable transfers, we recommend a maximum distance of 800-900mm between the transfer points. If a greater distance is required, this should
be tested before putting the system into use.

The diagram shows the minimum permitted distance between the hoist and rail roller (A) at different distances between the transfer points (B).

• Suspending the lift Place the lift on a suitable surface and feed out belt by gently pulling out the belt while at the same time pressing the ‘down’ button on either the hand control or secondary panel of the lift. Hook the lift belt onto the distance strap so that it is held firmly in position. The loop of the lift belt is approaching the hook in an angle of 140-160 degrees as shown in the illustration. Ensure the lift belt is firmly in place before use.

Inspection

• Annual inspection – The lift and the related components must be inspected at least once per year by a qualified technician certified by Human Care.
• Monthly Inspection – Check the complete lifting system for damage or wear.
• Daily Inspection – Always inspect the lift for visible signs of damage before use. Ensure the lift is correctly mounted on the distance strap or rail roller. Always check slings, distance straps and belts for signs of wear before use. Do not use if wear is evident.

Visual inspection:
When lifting the strap in vertical and upwards direction, the connection should stay in place, meaning that the hook is not leaving the loop. The hook and loop are not detached when lowering the lift again. It should only be possible to detach the distance strap by having the metal parts diagonal at a angle of 140-160 degrees.

Yearly inspection by technician

• Measurement:
  The hook should have an opening of 5,1 mm. the acceptable distance is between 4-6 mm.

• Product lifetime
  The product´s expected lifetime is three (3) years, if the product is used as intended and maintained according to the manufacturer´s instructions, depending on the intensity of use and maximum load applied during use. If the product label is no longer legible, the product should be discarded.
