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°–40°, 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.

WARNING!
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.
It is possible to select if flat position, left or right side
should start right away.
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-...)
