DISPLAY SYMBOLS
The following is a description of all the symbols that may be presented on the display.
Battery Charge Level

• Several symbols showing a battery at a different charge levels. These symbols indicate the status of
the batteries and/or the regular charging system.
ECS Indicator
• On units equipped with ECS option, this symbol shows up when the batteries are charging, confirming
that the ECS system is operational.
RTC (Return to Charge)

• This symbol indicates that the RTC function was activated by the hand control.
RTH (Return to Home)

• This symbol indicates that the RTH function was activated by the hand control.
PPP (Pre-Programmed Position)

• This symbol indicates that the PPP function was activated by the hand control
Over Duty Cycle

• This symbol flashes when the lift is used for a long period without allowing it to cool down. This security
feature disables the function (Up, Sit/Reclined or Left/Right) that is being used beyond recommended
duty cycle to prevent damage.
• When the overheat protection is engaged, the function, which exceeded the duty cycle, is disabled
while all other functions remain active.
• The red light will stay on during a cooling period. In addition, a single beep will be heard.
General Malfunction (Warning symbol accompanied with a numeric character)

• This symbol flashes when the lift encounters a malfunction.
• The lift needs to be inspected / repaired by a qualified service technician.
• The red light will stay on and a single beep will be heard.
Maintenance Required (Wrench symbol accompanied with a letter character)

• This symbol is shown for 7 seconds (accompanied with 2 beeps) when the lift is waking up from sleep
mode and flashes every 5 seconds to draw the user’s attention.
Overweight
• This symbol flashes when a transfer is attempted with a load exceeding the lift’s capacity.
• The red light will stay on (accompanied with four rapid beeps) until the patient is lowered.
• The function is disabled while all other functions remain active.

BATTERY INFORMATION
The batteries for this device are rechargeable lead acid batteries.
For safe handling and to extend the battery lifetime, please follow
and remember these instructions. Not following these instructions
can cause short battery life and may, in extreme cases, put user at
risk.
Battery life depends on many factors. These are: frequency of use,

frequency of charging, temperature of operation, storage and stor-
age time.
Using lead-acid batteries below 5% charge can damage the battery

resulting in shorter battery life. The 5% charge is indicated by the
critical battery level symbol flashing on the display. At this time, the
lift will allow only the down function. Make sure to recharge the bat-
teries as soon as possible.

CHARGING THE BATTERIES

WARNING
DO NOT OPERATE THE CHARGING STATION WITH A DAMAGED CORD OR IF THE STATION HAS BEEN
DROPPED OR DAMAGED. DO NOT BEND THE POWER CORD BY FORCE, OR PLACE A HEAVY OBJECT ON IT,
SINCE IT COULD DAMAGE THE CORD AND MAY CAUSE FIRE OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
NOTE
THE LIFT CAN BE OPERATED AT ANY TIME DURING THE BATTERIES’ CHARGING, WHICH WILL STOP AUTO-
MATICALLY.
Regular Charging System
2-function model: Move the lift under the charging station.
4-function model: Press the and buttons or the button to bring the lift to the charging station.
Check the LED to confirm that the batteries are charging properly.
• The LED will flash green until batteries are fully charged.
• The display will cycle through charge level icons according
< 25% < 50% < 75% < 100% to actual battery charge level to show the charging progress.
If the batteries have been completely drained it could take up to 8 hours
to completely recharge them.
001-15697 rev. 5
4-9
ECS Charging System

System equipped with ECS will display the icon when batteries are charging.
• The LED will flash green for a fixed period of 8 hours. After that period, the device will
launch another 8 hour charging period if the batteries are still below 80%. Otherwise,
< 80% the LED will become solid.
If a function is activated during the charging process, the ECS icon will disappear and the
green LED will become solid. After the function button is released, the device will attempt to
reconnect to the ECS system after approximately 20 seconds only if the battery charge level is still below 80%.
If the ECS system is not supplying voltage due to a system fault or power failure, the display will show actual battery level
as for a non ECS system. The device will attempt to reconnect to the ECS system every 15 minutes after the fault being
detected. The device will attempt to reconnect to the ECS system only if the battery charge level is below 80%.
MS2 Plus battery charging operates in the very same manner as MS2, both in Regular or ECS mode.

PERFORMING A WEIGHT LOAD TEST
Load test at SWL on lift and track.
As stated in the Maxi Sky 2 and Maxi Sky 2 Plus Instructions for Use, it is recommended to perform a load test on the ceil-
ing lift and track at its safe working load (SWL). This annual verification should verify the following aspects:
• The track system, including its anchors, are still performing as intended and are secure.
• The unit is able to mechanically raise the SWL.
• The batteries are still in good condition and are able to raise the SWL.
This test should be performed as per 001-11760-EN, Functional Load Test section. MS2 Plus, for load distribution on lead-
ing and driven ceiling lift, refer to MS2 Plus IFU 001-31228 or 001-31249, Preventative Maintenance Schedule section.

HOW TO USE THIS SECTION
The Maxi Sky 2 is equipped with a self-diagnosis system which displays either malfunction or maintenance code.
The malfunction code appears instantly when a problem occurs with the lift. After resetting the lift or when coming out
from sleep mode, the malfunction will be converted into a maintenance code . Refer to ‘‘Malfunction codes table’’ for
the malfunction codes list.
The maintenance code can be called in two different ways:

Malfunction code as mentioned above
Cycles or days (Preventive maintenance)
For MS2 Plus, each ceiling lift (leading or driven) will call independently its malfunction or maintenance codes.
For the maintenance codes list and the procedure, refer to the section ‘‘HOW TO PERFORM MAINTENANCE’’.
After completion of a maintenance, refer to the section ‘‘RESET THE MAINTENANCE CODE’’.
If there is no malfunction nor maintenance code, refer to section ‘‘TROUBLESHOOTING’’.
