Figure 4

The Maxi Sky 2 ceiling lift is equipped with a universal charger (#700-15501) that can be customized to fit the AC voltage outlets where it is sold.

The Maxi Sky 2 ceiling lift is also compatible for use with the KWIKtrak Enhanced Charging System (ECS).

The charger is feeding a charging station located on the rail to transfer power to the lift for recharging the batteries. The charging station features a small Green LED to indicate when power is present on its contacts.

This rail system allows the lift to benefit from continuous charging wherever it is on the rail. It eliminates the need to send the lift back to the charging station after the patient transfer. With the ECS option, the (RTC) feature is no longer necessary. However, it may be of interest to park the lift out of the way, in this case the RTH feature could be enabled in combination with the use of PPP stations added onto the rail at the desired parking (Home) locations.

001-15698-EN rev. 1

The RTC is disabled by default, see “Customizing” on page 17 for instructions on how to enable this feature. Note: When the unit is installed on an ECS rail system the RTC feature becomes the RTH feature (see “Return to Charge / Return to Home” on page 18).

How to Use the Maxi Sky 2 Ceiling Lift Controls and Features

Powered Dynamic Positioning System (PDPS)

Sleep Mode

Models equipped with a PDPS are supplied with a hand control having the and buttons which allow positioning the patient in the upright or reclined position according to the transfer starting and / or destination position.

The lift turns the display off to save energy consuming whenever it is not being used for more than the ready state parameter configured time. The LED remains solid green to indicate that the batteries charge is above 25% or flashing green if the lift is charging. The Status LED turns to red when the batteries charge drops below 25% of their full charge. The lift will beep twice every 10 seconds when batteries reaches the critical point (less then 5%). the lift awakes every 15 minutes to display low battery messages and goes into sleep mode again after 30 seconds. Pressing any buttons on the hand control wakes up the lift.

Movement Controls Moving the Maxi Sky 2 ceiling lift is achieved with the aid of the hand control which includes all the command buttons to operate the lift.

Vertical Movement  



The and buttons are used to raise or lower the patient. The raising and lowering functions accelerate gradually to prevent any abrupt movement as soon as the button is pressed, and remain active for as long as the button is pressed. The movement decelerates gradually to prevent any abrupt movement when the button is released.

Horizontal Movement 



001-15698-EN rev. 1



The four-function models are equipped with the and buttons which activate a lateral motor to move the lift along the rail. With the two-function model, the lift must be moved manually. The and functions accelerate gradually to prevent any abrupt movement as soon as the button is pressed, and remain active for as long as the button is pressed. The displacement decelerates gradually to prevent any abrupt movement when the button is released.
