Version 12/2018
4.3. SECURITE
crushing safety: Vertic 2 Fortissimo runs with a single-acting actuator. Any obstacle on its way will
automatically stop its going-down.
Emergency stop : the Vertic 2 Fortissimo emergency stop button is located on the
control box. Push it to stop the lifting or going-down. Turn it to unlock it.
Electric safety : lifting and going-down are locked when Vertic 2 Fortissimo is connected
to charge battery.
Alarm : a red led lights on when the actuator is running while battery is low.
Emergency going-down (only use when patient is stuck above and that it is impossible to go down using the
remote control) : There are two actuator release systems:
1/ Electrical release :
To go down, push the blue switch located under the emergency stop.
2/ Manual release :
Push up the red ring of the actuator.
This function can be used if the electrical system is not efficient.
4.4. CONTROL BOX OPERATING, BATTERY CHARGE :
If the charging level is too weak, an alarm sounds (in a constant way) when the control box is activated. The charging of
the battery is then necessary.
The control box has its own integrated charger. To charge batteries, connect the control box to the 220 VAC
main power line, until the green led turn on indicating batteries are charged (approximately 12 hours).
A third person must assist the patient during the
entire emergency going-down process.
The Vertic 2 Fortissimo must be connected to a network which is in accordance with the
NFC 15-100 and NFC 15-211 ( 230 V Electric plug + ground connection) for France and
CEI 364 for other destinations.
Make sure that the power supply of the control box (you can find it on the label), is in
accordance with the establishment power supply.
It is advisable to connect the device on a power fitting protected by a differential circuit
breaker of 30 mA Maximum, in accordance with the CEI 364-5-53 publication.

16
VERTIC 2 Fortissimo user guide
Version 12/2018
Warning, the loading of the batteries works only if the emergency button is out of power (put it on the position
‘on’ to load the batteries).
To make batteries last longer, they must be recharged every night.
4.5. STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS:
Do not expose to moisture.
Store in a temperate dry place (5°C to 40°C).
Charge battery before using it after a long time off (maximum storage: 6 months).
Handling and stocking of the lift has to be done in order to avoid any impact, falling or damage of the material.
