2. Installation and Commissioning Detach headboard Remove the footboard from the transportation brackets, leaning the headboard against the wall. Place the footboard to one side. Then remove the transportation brackets from the headboard and place the backrest section of the mattress platform (OP014) in front of the headboard.

Fit headboard to platform Attach the backrest section of the mattress platform to the headboard. Make sure the headboard is stood upright and connect the backrest section by placing the steel prongs on the platform into the grooves on the headboard. Secure in place using the Mattress Platform Securing Bolt (pictured below).
Page 11
Connect platform sections Connect the legrest section (OP015) to the backrest section to complete the mattress platform. Slide the steel side channel prongs on the backrest section into the side channel openings on the legrest section. Ensure the actuator on the legrest section is at the centre of the bed, near to the control box.

2. Installation and Commissioning Attach footboard Attach the footboard to the end of the mattress platform in the same way as the headboard was attached in step 6, securing in place using the two black securing bolts. Remove cable ties Using scissors, remove the cable ties around the actuator motors;...
Page 13
Activate actuators Lift the backrest profiling section fully, it should remain upright without support. This will give you free access to the control box. Remove the control box socket cover using the Philips head screwdriver. Insert all four actuator cables into the correct colour-coded sockets alongside the handset cable and replace the cover.

2. Installation and Commissioning Fit side rail end caps Unpack the side rails (OP012) from their box. Lay all four side rails on the floor. Fit the plastic end caps (OP018) to both ends of the rails. The easiest way to put the end caps on is to use the bottom of the side rail as a leading edge (as pictured).
Page 15
2. Installation and Commissioning Complete side rail fitting At the footend of the bed, release the black securing bolts and pull the footboard away from the mattress platform. This will allow enough room to fit the wooden side rails onto the side rail runner. Slide the fingers all the way into the wood of the side rails.
Page 16
2. Installation and Commissioning Mattress holders Clip in place the mattress holders (OP017), 2 slats down from the top of the backrest, and 2 slats up from the bottom of the legrest. Repeat for the other side of the bed. Test functions Connect the bed to mains power.
Page 17
2. Installation and Commissioning Confirm compliance Measure the distance between the mattress top and the side rails when in the up position. This distance should be around 110mm, which is less than the maximum 120mm stipulated in the bed rail regulations. Position the bed Once the testing has been completed satisfactorily, you are ready to move the bed into the desired position.

Operation of the Side Rails To use the side rails, lift the upper side rail until it locks into place in the highest position. To lower the side rails, lift the upper side rail and at the same time push the release catch for the side rail lock and lower the side rail.
Page 25
Electric Emergency Lowering The power supply unit fitted on the bed frame is equipped with a 9V block battery, which makes it possible to make a CPR emergency lowering according to EN 60601-2-52 in the event of a power failure. Please note, however, that this is only possible once per 9V battery, as the capacity of the 9V battery is limited.
4. Troubleshooting Fault Possible cause Remedy No response Mains plug not plugged in Insert mains plug into mains socket. Locking function on Unlock handset. handset activated Handset not plugged in Insert handset into mattress base motor. Motor unit not plugged in Plug motor unit into mattress base motor.
When the side rails are used, the following instructions must be adhered to: • Use only approved side rails supplied as an option by Alpine HC. See suitable dimensions at section 7.1. • Only suitably instructed personnel are allowed to operate the side rails.
Page 28
The mains plug must always remain accessible to enable immediate cut-off by unplugging the mains plug from the wall socket in case of emergency. The mains cable must be free and not caught up in anything, as it gets carried along when the bed height is adjusted and the mains plug may be pulled out of its socket and ELECTRICAL electric leads exposed as a result.
Refer to section 7.2. Any defects, damage or signs of wear must be rectified without delay. Only original spare parts from Alpine HC may be used, otherwise all guarantees or warranties will be excluded.
Page 30
Please check all fixings on your bed at least once a month. Pay special attention to side rail components and mattress platform connections. The 9V block battery is the energy store for electrical emergency lowering in the event of a power failure. The energy store is sufficient for one emergency lowering at the most and must then be replaced.
