4 Safety
4.1 Intended and appropriate use
The product was specially developed for use in medical technology. It has been
designed for raising and transferring patients and residents. The patient is raised from
a sitting position. The NORA Pro is to be used exclusively for the indoor transfer of
residents on level floorings. The NORA Pro is designed for short-term use and any
contact with injured skin must be avoided.
The sit-to-stand lift is suitable for patients with a body height of 1.48 m to 1.97 m (4'10"
to 6'6") and a maximum body weight of 205 kg (451 lbs).
Please note that the product is not protected against the effects of greater mechanical
forces and only to a limited extent against the penetration of splash water into the
housing, motor, control unit and battery. The product is not intended for operation in
atmospheres with flammable mixtures!
The product may only be used for the specified purpose. Also observe the general
warning and safety instructions in section 4.5.
CAUTION
Before the product is used, adequately qualified nursing staff
must assess the physical and mental condition of the
patient/resident.
In order to facilitate this, corresponding assessments/routines
must and should be used in the daily care processes.
CAUTION
The patient/resident must have sufficient core stability (capability
of sitting autonomously on the edge of the bed is an indicator for
a sufficient core stability).
Furthermore, he/she must be able to bear his/her body weight
with one leg.
4.2 Electrical safety
The product meets the current VDE-prescriptions 0100 for installing low-voltage
systems and 0100-710 on requirements for special types of operating sites, rooms and
systems - medical areas. However, have a specialist company check the compliance of
your electrical installation with the applicable prescriptions prior to operating and using
the product. This requirement is only applicable for Germany. In other countries, other
requirements might be applicable. Ask a qualified electrician to proceed with the
installation in accordance with the regulations applicable in your country.

Installation
Operating manual NORA Pro V0.1 E Page 14 of 60
6 Installation
The product is supplied ready for use.
6.1 Electrical connection
Before you start using our products, your electrical installation must be checked in
accordance with the relevant VDE-regulations 0100 and 0100-710. This requirement is
only applicable in Germany. In other countries, other requirements might be applicable.
Ask a qualified electrician to install the charging unit in accordance with the regulations
applicable in your country. The socket must meet the requirements of VDE 0100 and
0100-710.
6.2 First start-up
WARNING
The equipment is to be used exclusively in accordance with the
accompanying documents.
Only when these conditions are met, the manufacturer considers
himself responsible for the impact on the safety, the reliability and the
function of the device.
In the event of a newly connected product, the technical data must
be observed.
HINWEIS
The battery must be completely charged prior to the first use
(initial charging time min. 12 hours).
Please check that the emergency stop switch is released prior
to moving the spreader bar.
The NORA Pro sit-to-stand lift is equipped with an electrical motor. This motor is self-
locking and therefore protected against unintentional lowering of the spreader bar in
case of malfunction or failure. The battery of the NORA must be completely charged
before starting to use the device.
Please check that the emergency stop switch is released (unlatched). To unlatch, turn
the button of the emergency stop switch clockwise (i.e., to the right) until it releases.
