subject to change without prior written notice.
Overview of C1000 lift system
The C1000 is a lifting aid used by health care professionals and those providing care in the home to lift, position and transfer clients or a disabled family member. The C1000 lift is part of what is termed ceiling lift technology which takes advantage of lifting from above and not from below or the side. Additionally the ceiling
lift does not take up valuable floor space as most traditional methods do. Finally, the ceiling lift makes it possible to move mobility impaired individuals with minimal strain or risk to the caregiver, while providing complete safety, dignity and comfort for the client or family member.
The C1000 lift is one of three major components that make up this technology. The other two components are
the track and sling. The
the institution, or home with the use of ceiling brackets. The track itself is made of specially designed aluminum and comes in many different shapes, lengths and configurations, and is custom tailored and installed to
meet your specific requirements. The third component, the sling, is a specially designed fabric accessory that
attaches to the lift by means of a carry bar and straps, and holds an individual while the lift, positioning or
transfer takes place. Both the track and sling are generally supplied with the lift at the initial time of purchase.
Please refer to any user guides supplied with the C1000 lift and reference them while reviewing this manual.
The
C1000 is a fixed ceiling lift, that is, it always remains on the lift track. It has the ability to lift an individu-
al up from one location such as bed, move the individual along the track to another location and
finally lower the individual into a chair or bath. It is moved along the track in one of two ways. The first is by
manually moving the lift along the track with the aid of a caregiver. The second is by having the lift power itself along the track. The functions of lifting up or down, or moving to the left or right, are accomplished by
pressing buttons of a pneumatically (air) operated hand control. The hand control is attached to the lift by way
of a rubber airline tubing. Due to the design of the lift system, it takes very little effort to press a button to perform the desired motion.
Please refer to figures 1A and 1B to see sample floor plans of an installed lift system. Refer to figures 2A and
2B to familiarize yourself with the components of the
of the lift as it would be seen by an operator.

● To maintain optimum function, the C1000 should be inspected and maintained on a regular basis.
See the section titled “General Inspection and Maintenance”.
● Any accessories used with the C1000 including track and sling (s), should be checked to ensure that
they are in good working order. Check for signs of wear or fraying prior to use. Report any
unusual wear, or damage immediately to your local authorized Prism Medical dealer.
● The C1000 lift and associated lift, track and sling (s) are intended only for lifting and
transferring of a person. Prism Medical will not be responsible for any damage caused by the misuse,
neglect or purposeful destruction of the lift, and/or its’ associated components.
● Do not in any circumstance exceed the maximum allowable load of this lift. Refer to the
“Specifications” section of this manual, and/or the labels on the side of the lift.
● The installation of the lift, track, accessories, and sling are certified to a maximum load. Do not
exceed the maximum rated load of any of the components,
● There is a risk of explosion if the lift is used in the presense of flammable anaesthetics.
● The C1000 has features which improve it's electromagnetic immunity but immunity from
interference cannot be guaranteed. For best performance keep transmitting devices (cell phones and
hand-held radios) away from the lift.
● Ensure that a clear space is maintained around the lift and track. Move all curtain material and other
obstacles out of the way before performing a transfer.
The charger must be located outside the patient vicinity at all times. The patient vicinity is the space
with surfaces likely contacted by the patient or an attendant who can touch the patient. This
space is 6 feet (1.83m) beyond the perimeter of the bed, examination table, etc., extending vertically
7-1/2 feet (2.29m) above the floor.

Attaching the airline tube to the lift
Caution: A sturdy ladder may be required in order to access the underside of the lift to re-attach
the rubber airline of the lift. Caution should be used when this is required.
Should you have any concerns or questions contact your local authorized Prism Medical dealer.
Should the gray rubber airline that connects the lift to the hand
control become disengaged from the underside of the lift it must
be re-connected in order for the lift to work properly.
The rubber airline may become disconnected for the following
reasons:
1) The lift is pulled along the track by the airline.
2) The tubing accidentally gets wrapped around an object while

a lift or transfer is being performed.
3) It is accidentally pulled out by the caregiver or the individual
being lifted.
The airline is connected to a gray rubber grommet located on the
underside of the lift. Refer to figure 3A.
Small metal ribbed pins located at the end of the airline hold the
airline to this rubber grommet in a specific manner. Therefore it is
important to make sure that the airline is connected properly.
Both the grey airline and the rubber grommet have a grey rib on
one of their sides. Line up the grey ribs together. Refer to figure
3B. When this is done then the metal ribbed pins attached to the
end of the airline can be re-inserted into the corresponding holes
in the rubber grommet on the underside of the lift. Be sure to insert the pins into the grey rubber grommet sufficiently so that it is
secure. Refer to figure 3C.
Perform a brief test to ensure proper connectivity. Turn the lift
ON and OFF. Raise and lower the carry bar. For motorized traverse lifts move the lift left and then right. If these functions work
correctly then the airline is properly connected.
If the lift does not work properly, check to ensure that the grey
ribs on the grey rubber grommet on the underside of the lift and
the airline tubing are lined up properly. If they are not lined up
properly, then remove the airline, line up the grey lines and then
re-insert it into the rubber grommet. Perform the test as noted in
the preceding paragraph. If there are still problems with the lift
then contact your local authorized dealer for service.

If you have a motorized traversing lift, use the blue or yellow colored
directional hand control buttons to move the lift. The blue and yellow
buttons correspond to the blue and yellow directional arrows on the underside of the lift. The direction therefore that is taken is determined by
the color of the button that is pressed. This works the same no matter
what side of the lift a person is standing on.
Refer to figures 6A, 6B and
6C.
Caution: Always use extreme care when moving the lift along the
track. Watch out for and avoid any obstructions that may cause injury

Moving the “H” system traversing beam
If the installed track is an “H” system then this section should be reviewed as it describes how to move
the traversing beam. If the installed track is not an
“H” system then this section can be skipped.
The “H” system involves the installation of two parallel support tracks and one traversing beam that is
mounted perpendicular to the two support tracks.
Refer to figure 7A. The benefit of this type of system
is that it provides greater movement and positioning
ability for an individual since the floor space coverage area is much larger than for a single piece of
track.
Besides the previously described UP/DOWN move-
Figure 7A - Sample of “H” system room covering layout. Note that the
lift can be moved along the traversing beam, and that the traversing
beam itself can be moved along the two parallel support tracks.
The actual direction of travel when the hand control buttons are pressed
may be different than shown, since the track and lift orientation may be
different than installed. .
ment of the carry bar, and LEFT/RIGHT movement
of the lift, the “H” system adds the ability to move
the traversing beam anywhere along the length of
the two parallel support tracks. Refer to figure 7A.

and avoid any obstructions that may cause injury to the individual in the sling, or
damage to the lift/track.
This can be accomplished in one of
two ways. If the installed “H” traversing beam is manually traversing
then the beam is moved along the support tracks by manually moving the
beam, lift, and individual in one motion. This movement is the same as
that used for a manual traversing lift,
as previously described.
If the installed “H” system traversing

beam is motorized traversing then
the beam is moved along the support
tracks by pressing either the black or
white hand control button. Refer to
figure 7B. This will move the beam in the direction of travel as noted by the
black [▼] and white arrows [▲]located on the underside of the lift. Refer to figure 7C.
