3.11.3 Acoustic and indicator lamp message if drive blocked

Attention!!
If during moving one drive is blocked (e.g. collision of table top ), stop motion
and remove blocked reason
If drive is blocked and reason not found (e.g. internal blocked drive), check
elevating column function.

If one drive is blocked, an optical indicator lamp message and acoustic warning
sound take place (see table 3.2 and 3.3)

If after reset of indicator message with release button (Fig. 3-1/6) the drive blocked
reason is not removed, the drive in function will move only in direction of the blocked
drive, independently if up or down (Fig. 3-1/1, 2 or 7, 8) is commanded. This will
prevent inclination of table top.

If the difference between both drives is more than 1cm (0.394inch), moving of
drives will be disabled.

The indicator lamp shows cyclic red flashing and the acoustic beeper warning
will become also cyclic peep

3.13 Table top UP and DOWN movement

By depressing one of these pushbuttons, ▲▲ , ▲ or ▼▼ , ▼ (Fig. 3-1/1, 2 or 7, 8)
in conjunction with the motion-release button (Fig. 3-1/6), the table top moves up or
down. At end positions the movement stops automatically.

3.14 Column synchronization

At first time, after a long time without usage and at visible heights differences
between the column during use the table top controllers must be synchronized. If not
synchronized the 2 columns can have different heights and therefore the table top
can move automatically to the lower side if the table top brakes are leased..

For synchronization depress pushbutton „S“ (Fig. 3-1/4) three times and then
pushbutton (Fig. 3-1/5) in conjunction with the motion-release button (Fig. 3-1/6), to
drive the table completely down until both columns stops. The columns elevation
controllers are synchronized now.
Attention:
Never make column synchronization with patient in position on table top!

3.15 Adjustment and storage of preferences table heights

It is possible to store and memorize three different intermediate table heights to
pushbuttons 1, 2 and 3. Move table height to desired position. Depress pushbutton
“S” (Fig. 3-1/4) three times and then the memory pushbutton 1, 2 or 3 (Fig. 3-1/3). By
this the current height is stored to the selected pushbutton. The Storage will be
confirmed by a beep. It is recommended that the stored table heights are sequential
as e.g for pushbutton 1 the lower height, for pushbutton 2 the medium height and for
pushbutton 3 the highest table position.

For selection of a stored position, press key 1, 2 or 3 in conjunction with the motion-
release button (Fig. 3-1/6) until table top stops.

3.16 Reset error and error log

If an error occurs, the controller stores an error message into internal memory.

Attention!
Before deleting an error message, make sure that the error reason is found and
solved!

Reset of non-critical errors:

Depress pushbutton “S” (Fig. 3-1/4) three times and then the pushbutton (Fig. 3-1/9)

Reset of critical errors, e.g. Internal limit switch error, or column difference more than
1cm (0.394inch):
Depress pushbutton “S” (Fig. 3-1/4) five times and then the pushbutton (Fig. 3-1/9).

3.17 Accumulator-box

Two accumulator-boxes (Fig. 3-2) are delivered in the basic configuration Charger
connection
12Vdc contacts

Figure 3-2 Figure 3-3

For the operation of the Prognost XPE-Akku one charged accumulator-box (Fig. 3-2)
must be inserted into the power supply box of the table (Fig. 3-4).

Autofuse rated
32dc 20A
Use UL listed
types only.

Figure 3-4 Figure 3-5

For charging one accumulator-box must be inserted into the charge-station (Fig. 3-6)
(see chapter 3.17)

Attention!
Use charger Provotec Id. 3400 0007 only
Charging of accumulator-boxes are only allowed with chargers which are
released by Provotec (see also chapter 3.18).

To protect the 12Vdc voltage a 20A fuse is mounted inside the power supply box
(Fig. 3-4) of the Prognost XPE-Akku. The fuse is accessible from inside of the box
(Fig. 3-5).

23.01.2008 © PROVOTEC GmbH & Co. KG, Espelkamp 13 of 43

 0303 7605E Prognost XPE Akku, Technical Description

Attention!
The accumulator-box has on the bottom two contacts (Fig. 3-3) for connection
to the 12Vdc voltage of the inside mounted accumulator.

Never short-circuit these contacts!

To prevent a short-circuit of the accumulator, never place an accumulator-box
on metal-plates, metal parts or conductive parts!!

Inside the accumulator-box is a 25A fuse for additional protection (Autofuse rated
32dc 25A Use UL listed types only).
In case of defect of this fuse (no voltage at the contacts (Fig. 3-3)) check the
Prognost XPE-Akku box and replace if necessary.

3.17.1 Accumulator state of charge

When the lower discharge-limit of the accumulator-box is reached, an acoustic tone
comes out of the electronic controller box and the indicator lamp changes from color
green to orange.
This usually takes place at first when the table moves up with patient load.

In order to ensure the further correct table up and down moving function, it is
necessary to change the discharged accumulator-box against a new charged
accumulator-box, before placing the next patient.

NOTE
In case of ignoring the acoustic and optical discharge-limit tone the XPE
controller allows up and down moving of the table until the discharge safety-
limit of the accumulator-box is reached.
If the discharge safety-limit is reached all moving are disabled to prevent the
accumulator against complete discharging.

To set the Prognost XPE-Akku again in correct function, a new charged

accumulator-box has to be inserted into the power supply box

To prevent discharging of the accumulator-box when the Prognost XPE-Akku

is not used over a longer time, it is recommended that it will be switched off
with the emergency stop switch (Fig. 1-1/4)

NOTE
As known as characteristic of accumulators, the maximum charging capacity is
reached after several cycles of discharging and charging.
The accumulator-boxes are charged when delivered by Provotec.
In any case it is recommended to charge the accumulator-boxes with the
charger (Fig. 3-6) before first use of Prognost XPE-Akku
