2 The OT200 Ceiling Hoist
The OT200/OT400 is a ceiling hoist for passive
transfers of patient/users. The patient/user can be
lifted and transferrred with the OT200 and it is
possible to transfer the patient/user by means of
a rail that is attached to the ceiling. The OT200 is
delivered with a 2 point spreader bar, but can be
delivered with a mechanical (balanced) or
powered hanger cradle bar. The OT200 can also
be equipped with an electrical horzintal drive for
transportation along the rail (4FB)
The OT200/OT400 can be used for the following
transfers:
•From a (wheel)chair to a bed and vice-versa.
•From a (wheel)chair to a toilet and vice-versa.
•From a (wheel)chair to a shower-bath-toilet
chair and vice-versa.
•From the floor to a (wheel)chair or bed.
The OT200/OT400 cannot be used to
help patient/users with standing up or
walking unless specifically for Gait
Training in a Physiotherapy environment (usually
an active hoist like the James will be used for
these purposes).
The OT200 /OT400 complies with the following
standards (by KBOH):
•The user can be lifted from a sitting or lying position and will hang in a (semi) sitting
position. After transfer using the hoist, the user can be placed back on the supporting
element in a sitting or lying position.
•The hoist can be used in combination with wheelchairs, without having to remove foot,
leg or arm supports.
•The hoist can be used in combination with an accessible bed, shower window or dressing
table at working height. Next to this the hoist can be used for transfers to and from the
floor.
With this the OT200 also complies to the demands set by the European Standards,
ISO 10535 and the GQ-quality mark T-02, cluster UTT.
Under normal conditions, and with the exception of slings and batteries, the expected life
span of the hoist is 10 years (100.000 transfers), provided the hoist is maintained as
instructed.
•Special circumstances, like using the OT200 in humid environments or environments
with aggressive vapours can shorten the life time of the hoist.

FOR TRAINED AND CERTIFIED OPEMED PARTNERS ONLY

2.1 Points of Attention
•The OT200 is designed to lift and transfer patient/users weighing less than the Safe
Working Load (SWL) in combination with an appropriate sling rated same or higher, the
OT200 can only be used for this purpose. Any other form of use is not allowed.
•It is not allowed to lift more than 200kg (440lbs) with the OT200, unless otherwise stated
on the lift (refer to the SWL stickers on the hoist and track, the lower should always be
used as the SWL – Safe Working Load). The OT400 can lift 200kg (standard), 250kg or
400kg depending on model.
•It is not allowed to lift any object (e.g. a chair or wheelchair) together with the patient.
•Special caution needs to be taken when the loops or clips of a sling are attached to the
hanger bar correctly, incorrectly attaching these clips can cause a fall of the patient/user
and lead to severe injuries.
•Always make sure sufficient space is available above the patient/user before lifting.
•Only use the OT200/OT400 in combination with a sling that is delivered or approved by
OpeMed. Always contact OpeMed before using alternative slings.
•Treat the lift with care and always make sure the working environment is neat and clean.
Working with the hoist is only allowed to authorized personnel.
•The OT200/OT400 needs at least once a year a periodical inspection by a qualified
personnel. 6 monthly if LOLER applies (as in the UK)
•Service and maintenance of the hoist is only allowed to be carried out by authorized
personnel.
•Only use original parts (supplied by OpeMed) for repairs or replacements.
•Replacing hanger bars or other constructive parts of the hoist is only allowed by
authorized personnel.
•Charging the battery always needs to be done in well ventilated, dry rooms. Battery
chargers need to be connected according to the installation demands.
•Battery chargers need a periodical inspection at least once a year.
•Never lift the patient/user higher than necessary.
•When deformations occur to the hoist due to incorrect usage or transport, the hoist
should not be used anymore, and will have to be sent back to the supplier.
•Avoid collision into end stops at full speed. Move the hoist carefully in order to prevent
excessive movements of the patient/user.
•Never leave the hoist unattended while loaded. In energy saving mode (after 10 minutes)
the load will be lowered slowly.
•Do not use the hand-held control or the hanger bar wires as towing-lines to move the
patient/user as this will damage the wiring.

2.3 LED indicator Lights
!"#"$ %&''()*(+*,-./&)01(2/3345)2))
The green indicator will light up when the cassette is activated. The cassette will
automatically deactivate when it has not been used for 10 minutes. The green
indicator will dim. The cassette will automatically reactivate when the hand-held
control is being used.
!"#"! 1&-(6')7-..'&8)*(+*,-./&)9))
The orange/yellow light on the display lights up when charging and turns off when the
batteries are full. The light flashes when the battery is low. When the light starts
flashing, there is enough power to complete the transfer. When the hoist is being
lowered while loaded, the battery will charge and therefore the orange indicator will
light up.
!"#"# :'+)3-*;<&')*(+*,-./&)
When the red indicator lights up there is a potential service issue inside the
cassette. Immediately alarm the technical service department.
2.4 Emergency Stop and Lower
On the OT200 hoist is a red emergency stop cord.
This cord is only for emergencies. When you pull
you break the power to the PCB and the cassette
will stop sharply. To emergency lower pull and keep hold of
the chord at the lowered position. To reset the switch (by a
separate action) press the metal button back up.
2.5 Charging OT200
The batteries of the cassette are charged at a fixed spot on
the rail that is marked with a sticker. The display on the
OT200 is the battery status. The orange/yellow light on the display lights up when
charging and turns off when the batteries are full. The light flashes when the battery
is low. When the light starts flashing, there is enough power to complete the transfer.
Put the hoist after the transfer to the charger. The charger of the cassette is a fast
and energy efficient charger.
2.6 Handset
Do not use the hand-held control as a towing line! Stand behind the
patient/user and steadily push him or her along the rail. The hanger bar can
be used as a handle for transfers.
The OT200 is operated with either a hand-held control or the optional infra-red hand
control. This control is used to:
•Move the hoist up or down.
•Bring the hanger bar from a lying position into a sitting position (only with
powered hanger bar).
•Move the cassette along the rail (only with powered drive of the cassette).

3 Using the Rail System
The OT200 is designed to run on the OpeMed or approved other supplier’s track. The track
or rail should always be inspected according to local
legislation (e.g. in UK LOLER and EN ISO 10535
inspected every 6 months).
For installation of track please refer to separate Installation
Manual.
3.1 XY or H System for Room Coverage
An XY rail system is a system where two rails are put, where a movable rail angles below will
be hung from the ceiling. The OT200 will charge at the end of the moving rail and the moving
rail needs pushing normally to the end of the fixed rail for charging to commence.
3.2 Turntable
The system you have chosen might be supplied with a turntable, creating the possibility of
running a cassette along more than one rail. A turntable operates automatically and makes a
quarter-turn to the left or the right. A full turn is not possible.
Controlling the turntable is simple:
•Place the cassette in the middle of the turntable.
•After approx. 2 seconds the turntable will beep will turn 90
degrees.
•Drive the cassette out of the turntable.
•If you do not want to make a turn but simply pass the
turntable,
you should not stop the cassette in the turntable.
3.3 Gate (with X-Y Systems for room-room continuous track)
If your system uses a X-Y system with a transition to a fixed rail (room to room) then a
“gate” is placed where the rails join. This gate makes sure that the cassette cannot slide out
of the rail when the joints are not aligned. The gate automatically connects the rails and
enables a smooth transition from a mobile to a fixed rail. The OpeMed gate is very safe with
an electrical and mechanical security system.
Travelling from fixed rail to X-Y system:
•Move the cassette through the gate toward the mobile rail.
•The rail will de-attach and can be moved.
Travelling from X-Y or H system to a fixed rail:
•Place the cassette in front of the gate.
•Place the rail with the cassette opposite to the other gate.
(keep moving slightly)
•The rails will connect and cannot be moved anymore. The guard will open and the
cassette can be moved through the gate.
3.4 Exchanger or Junction
This is a more cost effective solution to the turntable if only 3 exits are
required (or the track splits). Similar to the turntable the exchanger will
operate automatically if you pause the motor in the Exchanger for 2
seconds or more. A sound will bleep and the exchanger junction will
move to the other track.
If you want to continue the OT200 without changing tracks simply do not stop when passing
through the Exchanger.

4 Hanger Bar Options
4.1 Hanger Bar
The OT200 is provided with a hanger bar. The hanger bar is a construction to which the sling
(in which the patient/user will take place) can be attached. Several types of hanger bars are
available, of which the balanced and the powered hanger bar are the most important types.
Both hanger bars create the possibility of transporting the patient/user in a sitting or a lying
position. The way this is done is described below.
It is very important only approved clip slings are used with the Manual or Powered
Cradle. Loop slings CANNOT be used with these spreader bars and should ONLY
be used on the standard 2 point Spreader Bar.
4.1.1 Standard – 2 Point Spreader Bar
For use with loop slings (OpeMed and approved competitors). To operate
this please ensure the sling strap (shoulder and leg) are individually
placed on the hook with the sprung disc preventing the strap from coming
off. An extra hip tape can be used on the 3rd hook on the end of the
Spreader Bar if required.
4.1.2 Optional – Manual Cradle (Clip Slings only)
The patient/user can bring himself/herself into a sitting or a lying
position with simple movements. The balanced hanger bar is most
efficient when used with patient/users who have sufficient stability in
the hip-joint and sufficient body balance. This unique expanding cradle
keeps the patient at the centre of gravity and expands and changes
shape with the patient as he/she lies down/sits up providing a safe and
comfortable transfer.
4.1.3 Optional - Powered Cradle (Clip Slings only)
The powered hanger bar is moved
from a sitting to a lying position by
means of an actuator on the
hanger bar. This enables
automatic positioning of the
patient/user into the desired
position, which has high benefits
for patient/users with a low hip-
stability. The powered hanger bar
is controlled by two buttons on the
hand-held control.
4.1.4 OT400 Hanger Bar
This is a different hanger bar for the OT400 and is re-enforced for the extra capacity.
WARNING. Do not use the OT200 hanger bar on the OT400.
Do not use the hanger bar cord as a towing line! This might damage the wiring.
Stand behind the patient/user and steadily push him or her along the rail. The
hanger bar can be used as a handle for transfers.

5 Slings
5.1 Sling Attachment
•Read the sling guidelines carefully before using the sling. It is ESSENTIAL that
you fully understand how to attach the sling in the correct way. Always check the
sling for signs of wear or damage before use.
•Always complete a risk assessment and check the capacity of the sling as well
as the hoist. The lower SWL between the hoist and sling should be the one adhered to.
•Never use a loop sling on the Manual Cradle (4.1.2) or the Powered Cradle (4.1.3).
These are designed for Clip Slings Only.
•Never use a Clip sling on the Standard 2 point Spreader Bar. These are designed for
approved Loop Slings Only.
5.1.1 Loop Slings
•Attach the loop over the hook, taking care that the same length of loop is attached on
either side.
•Ensure thee sling is past the safety spring disc and the spring disc is clicked in place to
prevent the sling coming off.
•Ensure both leg and shoulder loops are attached (min of 4 loops on any sling).
•Always refer to the sling user guide.
•Always check the weight capacity of the sling and ensure it is not more than the OT200.
5.1.2 Clip Slings (depends on clip sling used – please refer to sling
instructions)
•Hold on to the strip on the clip with one hand and pull the large hole in the clip over the
attachment point. Check whether the belt on which the sling is hanging is not turned or
twisted.
•Take the belt under the clip and pull this down until the clip falls into the secure position.
•The attachment point is now locked into the hole in the top side of the clip.
•Attach all clips in the same way before lifting.
6 Using the OT200 Ceiling Hoist
6.1.1 Before Use Checks
Check the OT200 on the following points before use:
•Check that status of the batteries on the cassette´s display
•Is the emergency stop de-activated?
•Check whether the used sling fits the purpose and the transfer
•Check the condition of the sling and the clips and whether the whalebones are placed
•Carefully place the sling on the spreader bar
•Is the patient/user able and comfortable to be lifted?
•The cassette will automatically activate when any button on the hand-held control is
pushed
•When using a standard sling, always place the arms of the patient/user inside the sling
on the patient/users’ lap.
•When using a toilet sling always make sure the arms of the patient/user are outside the
sling so that the upper slips with clips pass beneath the arms!
•Always work in a neat and clean environment.
•The OT200 is now ready to be used according to the instructions in this manual.

FOR TRAINED AND CERTIFIED OPEMED PARTNERS ONLY
Page 13 of 35 OT200 Compact Technical Manual.docx 12/05/15
•Always make clear to the patient/user what is happening with every step of the process!
•Pay attention to the danger of getting entangled between the hinging points of the hanger
bar.
6.1.2 Lifting From a Chair
•Place the sling behind the back of the patient/user down to the seat. Let the patient/user
sit slightly forward during this handling. Make sure the sling is placed with the washing
instructions facing to the outside.
•Pull the leg slips slightly forward, this way the patient/user already sits ‘inside’ the sling.
•Lift one of the patient/user’s legs and bring one leg slip of the sling to the inside of the
leg. Use the same method to apply the other leg slip.
•If necessary, pull the head side of the sling up to the correct height. The sling will now fit
around the patient/user like a ‘tank chair’.
•When using a toilet sling apply the circular belt (leg-side) like a belt around the waist of
the patient/user. Put the arms of the patient/user through loops on the head-side of the
sling.
Toilet slings can only be used with patient/users with sufficient shoulder
functioning and body stability.
6.1.3 Lifting From a Bed
•Roll-up one slide of the sling for about half the total width of the sling.
•Roll the patient/user over on one side, facing the carer.
•Put the sling with the rolled-up side against the back of the patient/user.
•Make sure the sling is placed with the washing instructions facing to the outside (currently
the down side).
•Roll the patient/user over the sling onto his/her other side.
•The rolled-up part of the sling will now be on the side of the carer.

7.2 Cleaning Instructions
Cassette and hanger bar-The best way to clean the OT200/OT400 is with a moist cloth.
Use normal (house) cleaning detergents.
Slings - Always see washing instructions attached to sling. Do not use
aggressive solvents when cleaning the hoist or the slings.
7.3 Daily/Weekly Maintenance
Pay attention to the following points daily in order to prevent or recognise problems in time.
Action Remark
Clean the hoist: See cleaning instructions paragraph 7.1
Wash the slings: See washing instructions on sling.
Charge the batteries regularly: Make sure the cassette is in the charger when
the hoist is not being used.
Check whether the hoist operates smooth: Alarm the technical service department in order
to let them grease or change parts that hinder
smooth operation.
Check for irregular sounds: Alarm the technical service department
7.4 6 Monthly Checks
Maintenance list that must be carried out every six months to the OT200, according
to manufacturer’s instructions, LOLER and ISO10535. This is to be carried out by an
approved, trained and competent technician, documented and recorded.
Failure to complete, document and record these tests voids the warranty and liability
of the manufacturer (UK only). See Section 12 for Documenting Servicing to ensure
warranty is validated.
•Check for damage to hoist, rail and fixings.
•Check the wiring on the handset, charge rand inside the motor housing for any
visible damage
•Check that the OT200 runs smoothly along the rail
•Check the OT200 wheels turn freely and are not damaged.
•Check the operation of the emergency stop by pulling the chord whilst the hoist is
in up/down motion.
•Test the emergency-down operation
•Clean the contact springs of the charger (gate) and the contact surfaces on top of
the cartridge with a contact cleaner (without lubricant)
•Set the OT200 on the charger and charge goes to the yellow light
•Make sure mounting bolts are tight (OT200, spreader bar, rail system, gate,
turntable, ..)
•Check rail system for damage or deformation.
•Clean the rail clean with a detergent and a lightly damp cloth
•Check the lifting tape for any visible signs of fraying, discolouring or wear. If so
replace lifting tape with a genuine OpeMed lifting tape.
•Check the slings visually for signs of fraying, loose seams, stitching - tire damage,
and also clips of the sling, to damage it should be disapproved the band
•Check no other manufacturer accessories have been fitted onto the OT200
(different spreader bar, weigh scale etc).

•Make sure the tape rolls up and down fully
•Check the micro switch of the belt slack security, by loosening the belt byt lifting
the spreader bar whilst lowering the hoist.
•Check the micro switches of the tape at the top of the cycle, and the switches
operate without the spanner light coming on.
When the lift does not meet one or more of the above points, it should be put
out of operation with immediate effect and take immediate action.
7.5 Annual Inspection and Maintenance
The hoist needs to be checked once a year according to the local-guidelines (UK
LOLER every 6 months). This needs to be done by OpeMed or another OpeMed
authorized institution. OpeMed offers you the possibility of an annual inspection by
means of a Service Agreement.
Failure to complete, document and record these annual tests voids the
warranty and liability of the manufacturer (worldwide). See Section 12 for
Documenting Servicing
If maintained by an authorised person the OT200 hoist should have a sticker that
indicates when the hoist is due for inspection. For more information about inspections
you can always contact OpeMed.
•Each 12 months a full weight tested inspection should be completed and
monitored and the date of the next service should be marked on the motor.
•Every 12months the 6 monthly inspection should be completed (see above).
=">"$ ?'-@<&*(6)A'3;',.*/()
•In addition a full weight testing of the track by placing a portable trolley in the track
and measuring the deflection with weights of the maximum capacity +5% (% may
depend on local country guidelines)
!The deflection between fixings should not exceed the graphs below according
to LOLER 10535.
!OpeMed recommend the deflection between fixings be monitored in a service
report.

7.6 Preventative Maintenance
In addition to the mandatory annual inspection:
•The batteries need to be replaced every 2-3 years (to avoid
performance problems)
•A sling is recommended to be replaced every 2-3 years (sooner if any signs
of wearing or the label becomes unreadable) as per ISO10535.
•The lifting of the cassette tape and the sling should be checked every year
and in the UK every 6 months according to LOLER.
7.7 If the OT200 Does Not Function
•Check whether the emergency cord is pulled out
•Check whether the batteries are sufficiently charged.
•Check whether the plug of the hand-held control is connected correctly.
•Check whether the plug of the hanger bar control is connected correctly.
•Check whether the belt is slack, if necessary tighten it.
•Check whether the belt has been pulled up too much, the hoist will only go down.
•Check whether the belt has been rolled out too much, the hoist will only go up.
•If the hoist is still not working, alarm the check technical service department.
In addition please refer to the Troubleshooting Guide
7.8 Disposal
•For disposal the OT200 can be returned to OpeMed. This is
also possible with batteries, chargers, slings etc. If you choose
to dispose the batteries yourself, be aware of the fact that these
batteries are chemical waste.

8 TroubleShooting
Any service or maintenance work should be carried out by qualified, certified and
technical persons only.
PROBLEM
SUGGESTED SOLUTION
Hoist is not working. Green light
comes on for a few moment and the
yellow light flashes. Cannot get the
hoist to operate although it will lower
but do nothing else.
1: Make sure hoist is parked on charge point.
2: Make sure handset plug has not pulled out.
3: Make sure charge is switched on at the mains
there should be a green light to indicate
The charge box has a Red light on -
customer is saying this is stopping
the hoist from charging
Place the hoist back onto the charge point and
ensure the light changes to orange.
Ensure the emergency stop switch is pushed fully in.
Cannot shut off service light
1: Put into service mode (press button on the
PCB)
2: Simultaneously press the following buttons
on the hand set: Top Left Button, Middle
Button, Bottom Right Button
OT200 Lifting Belt descends down
with little or no weight applied.
To prevent that the OT200 (with weight) slowly
descending, a small current is applied to the motor.
When the current is not enough and the spreader
bar is still going down, the current can be
increased:-
1) Remove the covers of the
OT200/OT200 (see below)
2) Push on the service button
(B) on the pcb. Release the button.
The display on the pcb (A) shows [service menu]
3) Push again on the service button (B)
and keep pushing it in.
4) Together with the service button,
push in the left hangebar button on the handset.
5) Let go of al the buttons
The display on the pcb (A) shows [tegenstroom
pwm]
6) The current value is standard set on
10. Increase or decrease this value by pushing the
hangebar button on the handcontrol (normally an
increase of 1 unit is enough)
Push on the service button (B) to save the settings

BService'Procedures)
9.1 Removing the Cover
The caps (Figure 10, item 1) of the
OT200 have to be removed for an
inspection, maintenance or repair.
Remove the 2 screws (Fig.10, item
2) on the side of the cassette to
loosen (Torx20) you can remove
the caps from each other. Remove
both caps at the same time to
prevent one side drops out of
location.
Mind hands while
operating the elevator
without caps. No holding
hands in or near the moving parts!
This can cause serious injury!
9.2 PCB Board and Diagnosis Screen
When the cover of the OT200 has been removed, you can see the PCB
control board.
On this PCB there is a LC display and on which the letters correspond to
the control functions of the cassette. Each letter stands for a function.
When the function switches it will change the letter of the corresponding
function in a case (see Figure 11). So you can check for a malfunction
which features work and which do not.
Also state the voltage of the batteries indicated on the screen.
Capitalized on the display means that the function is enabled.
The meaning of the letters is as follows.
h (H) up manual operation
d (D) down manual
v (V) forward drive manual
a (A) reverse manual
z (Z) is state spreader bar manual
l (L) lying position spreader bar manual
e (E) first lift-and-end-stop (micro switch with yellow cable)
T (T) second lift-end-stop (micro switch with orange cable)
b (B) slack tape micro switch (micro switch with green cable)
s (not in use)
When operating the hoist a scrollbar becomes visible that shows the
ampere consumption on the display. Each block is approximately 1
ampere.
