Power System Overview
Clio External User Interface
The easy-to-read battery user interface, which is located on the front surface of the cart handle, gives the user a
real-time status of the battery. Each LED will illuminate in several sequences to indicate the approximate charge
level of the battery.
• The rst LED indicates power on/off.
• LEDs two through ve indicate charge level and correspond to a percent of charge range.
• Power Button (third to last button on right) - To power up, press and hold for 3 seconds, and the on/off
Indicator will beep and power on.
To power down, press and hold for 3 seconds, and the on/off Indicator will beep and power off.
• Power Alert Mute Button (second to last button on right) - If the battery level falls below 10% for LiFe Battery
an alarm will sound. This button will mute the alarm.
• Keyboard LED Light (last button on right) - To turn on, press button. The light will automatically turn off after
5 minutes or if button is pressed again.

Battery and Power System Removal and Replacement
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO BATTERIES NOT SUPPLIED BY ALTUS
WITHOUT VERIFYING CONTROLLER SETUP AND OTHER OPTIONS WITH ALTUS.
WARNING!
If replacing the LiFe (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery with a SLA battery or SLA to LiFe,
the following steps need to be completed. If the MPM software has been installed, this will help
with step #4.
1. All cables to and from controller must be connected, including the battery and its cables and connections.
Both the AC-In and AC-out connector ends include a locking feature to prevent them from pulling apart. To disconnect
pull back both “red” tabs. Note: Older models may not have this feature (red tabs) so simply disconnect.
Controller must rst be OFF (no lights on the Remote User Interface) and connected to AC power.
Perform this step only if using the MPM Software. If the MPM Software is not used, proceed to step 2.
Connect the USB cable into the technology component within the cart (or into a resident laptop with
the MPM software loaded).
2. Wait for the double yellow to appear on the interface.
3. When this happens, press and hold the mute button for 5 seconds. One “beep” will be made immediately.
Within 3-5 seconds after the initial “beep”, a second “beep” will be heard.
Keep holding down the mute button until a scrolling light sequence appears (release mute button at this time).
This will look like all of the green LED lights going lighting up in order and then back off in order. When green light
sequence is complete, the controller will show a Yellow LED and Green LED and then will shut itself off (all lights
will turn off) and then will “Reboot” itself. When controller reboots, the remote user interface will show the battery
level of the connected battery.
4. The “battery reading for conrmation” will only be available if MPM View is being utilized.
The cart is ready to be used.

Circuit Breaker Overview

air
We’ve added a circuit breaker in our carts
that will allow them to protect themselves
from any current spikes found within the
system. These spikes would only happen
in extreme cases and the breaker can eas-
ily be reset in seconds.
A user would be able to tell that the circuit
has been tripped if the cart will no longer
raise or lower. The user can reach under-
neath the right side of the cart and press
the button in to reset the circuit. This will
return the cart to a functional electric lift
mechanism.
