5.1 Individually defined programs

Program 1 and 2 can be individually defined by the care staff
by setting the angles of the wings and the times for holding
the different positions.
Defining angles
The angles of the left and right wing in the first side position
can be defined individually. The second (opposite) side
position will automatically be defined as a mirror image of
the first side position.
• If the angle for one wing is set between 13°–30°, this
wing will be defined as the "primary wing.
• The opposite wing will then be defined as the
"secondary wing" and limits its selectable angle values
to 0°–12°.
• The "primary wing" defines the first side position in
the program sequence.
Two options for the wing the end-user is laying on (e.g. left
wing if the end-user is laying on the left side):
• If the angle of the secondary wing is set to 0° it will be
elevated by 12° during the turn movement and move
to a horizontal position 5 sec. after the primary wing
has reached its set angle, so the end-user will rest on a
flat secondary wing.
• If the angle value for the secondary wing is set between
1°–12° it will stay elevated at the selected angel in a
side position and the end-user will rest on a elevated
secondary wing.

CAUTION!
Risk of falling
If the secondary wing stays elevated while the
end-user is resting in a side position, the distance
to the top of the side rail is decreased.
– Only use the side rails listed for this situation
in 9 Technical Data, page 21.
Defining the time:
The times for the two side positions and the flat position can
be defined individually between 000 and 180 minutes.
The program sequence always starts in the flat
position.
If the time for one side position is set to 000 minutes:
• the program will start to transition from the flat position
into the first position after the specified time.
• the program will only cycle between the flat and the
other side position (e.g. flat-right-flat-right-...)
If the time for the flat position is set to 000 minutes:
• the program will start immediately after activation with
the transition to the first side position.
• the program will only cycle between the two side
position (e.g. left-right-left-right-...).
If the time value for the flat position is set between 3–180
minutes:
• the program will start to transition from the flat position
into the first position after the specified time.
• the program will always move into a flat
position between the two side positions (e.g.
flat-right-flat-left-flat-right-...)
