5.6 Battery Charger
The battery charger (Figure 14) uses standard AC
power (115 VAC/60 hz/1 phase) to charge the batteries
in the cot's power pack module. The power cord
connects to a standard wall outlet. The charging cord
attaches to the power pack.
To charge the batteries, see Charging the Batteries,
page 36. Charge the batteries for 3 hours minimum for
a full charge.
The cot can be powered through an average of 50 cycles
before the batteries require recharging. Patient weight
and extreme temperatures affect the number of cycles.
If the batteries are providing significantly fewer cycles
than normal, replace the batteries or power pack. See
Accessories and Related Products, page 40.
5.7 Power Pack Module
If you have purchased multiple power packs, you may
wish to swap out a discharged power pack for one that
is charged, in order to eliminate the downtime of waiting
for batteries to recharge.
The following procedure describes how to remove and
replace the power pack module.
1. Unscrew and remove the "Control Unit
Connector" and the "Actuator Unit Connector"
cables from the power pack (Figure 15).
2. Raise the backrest about halfway.
3. Lift and slide the power pack away from the cot
(Figure 16). Raise or lower the backrest a little
as needed to work the power pack out of its
position.
4. Install the new power pack by sliding it into place
and reattaching the two connecting cables.
Note: Route the power cable over the X-frame
crosstube, and under the lift axle (Figure 15).
5. Test the cot by raising and lowering it to verify
the power pack is providing power to the unit.
Check the battery charge indicator and charge the
batteries if needed.
