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

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.

6. Maintenance
The Ceiling Hoist must be inspected in accordance ith NEN-EN-ISO 10535:2006 once per
year. The chargers must also be inspected annually based on the applicable conditions. The
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.
