1. Introduction
You are no reading the Technical Manual of the PLS Ceiling Hoists AR-200, AR-200D (Detachable), AR-260
and the AR-350 in combination ith the PLS Rail system. The purpose of this technical manual is aimed at
the Technical Service Department of the care institution here this Ceiling Hoist is being used. Each type of
Ceiling Hoist orks in the same manner. The components of the Ceiling Hoists are nearly similar ith the
exception of some structural adjustments and soft are settings. The Service Manual contains:
• Technical Specifications.
• Maintenance Procedure and repairs.
• Component list ith part numbers.
1.1. Used symbols

1.2. Sa ety
If any deformations to the component(s) and/or the rail or corresponding components occurred due
to rong use or transport, they may no longer be used and must be returned to the vendor.
Service and maintenance and replacing a Spreader Bar or other structural components of the Ceiling
Hoist may only be carried out by demonstrably authorised persons.
The Ceiling Hoist may not be used to hoist a mass of more than the number of kg listed on the label.
Al ays disconnect the po er supply hen carrying out assembly ork. A Ceiling Hoist may move in an
uncontrolled manner causing the risk of pinching.
Batteries may only be charged in a properly ventilated dry room. Chargers must be connected in
accordance ith the applicable installation regulations. Chargers must be periodically inspected at
least once a year.
Treat the Ceiling Hoist ith care and ensure a clean and tidy ork environment.
Only use original or parts supplied by PLS BV for repairs or replacement.
PLS BV and your distributor are not responsible for any damage caused by inadvertent, improper,
incorrect or unreasonable use and/or maintenance (described above) or by unauthorised persons.
Contact your distributor if you are not sure.

1.3. Sa ety acilities
The Ceiling Hoist contains facilities that increase the safety during use. Al ays check the
operation after repairs. The systems are described in Chapter 2.4, safety systems, of the User
Manual.

1.4. Commissioning
The Ceiling Hoist is delivered ith a disconnected Battery terminal. This prevents the Batteries
from discharging. Connect the Battery terminal before the Ceiling Hoist is placed in the rail
(see label top cover).
Check the PLS Rail System in combination ith the Ceiling Hoist on the follo ing aspects before use:
• Ensure that a eight test has been carried out for the installed rail system based on the maximum
capacity of the Ceiling Hoist.
• Check the connection of the Ceiling Hoist to the rail.
• Check the connection of the Spreader Bar to the Ceiling Hoist.
• Check the status of the Battery on the Battery indicator of the Ceiling Hoist.
• Check hether the type of Sling matches the Patient or transfer.
• Check the condition of the Sling and the Clips and/or Loops.
• Check the functioning of the Coupling (if present).
• Check hether all End Stops have been attached and tightened properly.
• Check, if present, the functioning of the Turntable and/or S itch.
• Al ays ensure a clean and neat ork environment.
The Ceiling Hoist is ready for use as described in the user manual.

daily and eekly inspection ill be carried out by the users and is described in the manual.
6.1. Advice
We as PLS BV recommend the follo ing in addition to the annual mandatory maintenance:
• Replace the Batteries every 24 months (chapters 7.2 and 7.3). This aims to prevent errors/improper
operation.
• Replace the Lifting Tape every 24 months (chapters 7.5 and 7.6). Notify the date on the Inspection
and Maintenance form.
• The Lifting Tape must be checked during every inspection.
6.2. Six-month maintenance
The follo ing actions must be carried out during the six-month maintenance:
• Check the listed Inspection Requirements set out in the Manual.
• Check for potential damage.
• Check the iring.
• Check the smooth operation in the rail.
• Check the installation equipment, brackets etc.
• Check the rail for damage and fixing points.
• Lubricate the gear heels ith, advice; Kroon Oil Lithep Grease EP2 of a comparable grease.
6.3. Annual inspection
The annual inspection consists of an inspection and maintenance form (Annex 1 .4) based on the
requirements set out in NEN-EN-ISO 10535:2006.

and over the axle of the Strap
Tension S itch. The Ceiling Hoist
ill not lift if the Lifting Tape
does not move along the Strap
Tension S itch.

8. Disassemble the PCB.
(chapter 7.11.
9. Disassemble the Led-Unit.
10. Disassemble the Lifting Tape (chapter 7.5).
11. Disassemble the bolts and nuts ho
connect the Side Plates ith the Upper
Plate and Underplate.
12. Disassemble the bolts 2, 3 and 5 at both
sides (Figure 18).
13. Remove Side Plate (7) by hitting it
ith a hammer of the axles.
14. Remove the Drive Shaft and the Spool by
hitting it out of the Side Plate ith a Nylon
hammer.
15. Replace the gears of the axles. Remove
also the bearings!
16. Make sure that after replacing the circlips
(Figure 19) and Loctite placed on the 4 bolts.
17. After replacement, hit the axles in the Ceiling Hoist as Figure 18 ith a nylon hammer.
18. Assemble the Ceiling Hoist vice versa. Add Loctite 243 (2x) on bolt 2 of Figure 18.
19. Lubricate the gears before the batteries are placed back (point 6). Place the Lifting Tape back on the
spool (chapter 7.5). Roll the tape on the spool trough the Handset.

7.10. Replacing Gears (AR-260 and AR-350)
Replace the gears hen they are damaged or contain broken tooth.
1. Get the Ceiling hoist out of the Rail and place it here reperation is safe.
2. Disassemble both covers (chapter 7.1).
3. Put the connector of the Handset in the Ceiling Hoist.
4. Unroll the Lifting Tape completely.
5. Turn the Ceiling Hoist off.
6. Disassemble both batteries (chapter 7.3)
7. Disassemble both Motors (chapter 7.8).
8. Disassemble the PCB (chapter 7.12).
9. Disassemble the Led-Unit.
10. Disassemble the Lifting Tape (chapter 7.6).
11. Disassemble the bolts and nuts ho connect the Side Plates ith the Upper Plate and Underplate.
12. Disassemble the bolts 1 and 3 at both sides (Figure 21).
13. Remove the Side Plate (5) by hitting it ith a Nylon hammer of the Axles.
14. Remove Drive Shaft 1, 2 and the Spool by hitting it ith a Nylon hammer out of the Side Plate.
15. Replace the gears of the Axles. The gears on Drive Shaft 1 and Drive Shaft 2 are identical at each
other and identical assembled. Replace also the bearings!
16. Make sure that after replacing the circlips (Figure 22) and Loctite placed on the 4 bolts
17. After replacement, hit the axles in the Ceiling Hoist as Figure 18 ith a nylon hammer.
18. Assemble the Ceiling Hoist vice versa. Add Loctite 243 (2x) on bolt 2 of Figure 21.
19. Lubricate the gears before the batteries are placed back (point 6). Place the Lifting Tape back on the
spool (chapter 7.6). Roll the tape on the spool trough the Handset.

7.11. Replacing Circuit Board (+ diagram) (AR-200)
1. Remove the Ceiling Hoist from the rail and place it here you can safely carry out repairs.
2. Remove both covers.
3. Connect the Hand Control to the Ceiling Hoist.
4. Read parameters 1, 2 and 7 (chapter 8). Make record of the number of cycles (chapter 8.1) and the
programming date.
5. Turn off the Ceiling Hoist.
6. Disconnect a Battery terminal to ensure that the Ceiling Hoist is turned off.
7. Remove the 4 nylon scre s from the circuit board (Philips PH-1x8 ).
8. Disconnect the iring from the circuit board one at a time and immediately move them to the ne
circuit board.
9. Install the ne circuit board. Slo ly tighten the nylon scre s to avoid stripping a ay the threading.
Inspection: Test the operation of the Ceiling Hoist.
