Mattress and Seat Systems Service Manual Introduction Mattress Overlay Systems (OL) A typical mattress overlay (OL) system is shown in Figure 1. It includes a base sheet, alternating and static cells (which are individually replaceable), a cover, air inlet tubes (with connectors where applicable) and a Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) pull tag (also referred to as a Rapid Deflate stopper).
Mattress and Seat Systems Service Manual Introduction Mattress Replacement Systems (MR) A typical mattress replacement (MR) system is shown in Figure 2. The MR systems are basically the same configuration as the OL systems with the addition of a foam base which replaces the normal bed mattress.
Page 10
Mattress Type: MR = Mattress Replacement, OL = Mattress Overlay b. The Alpha Active system has 8 ventilated cells and 9 non-ventilated cells. c. The AlphaXcell Double Mattress has 20 cells on each side. On one side 17 cells are alternating and 3 are static, and on the other side all 20 cells are static.
Mattress and Seat Systems Service Manual Introduction Operating Principles Refer to Figure 4 for a typical pneumatic system diagram and cell inflation cycle, and Table 2 for the actual cell configurations. All pumps have two pressurised air outlets. Air from the outlets is fed to separate cells or groups of cells in the mattress or seat cushion via a rotary valve.
Mattress and Seat Systems Service Manual Introduction Rapid Deflation of the Overlay or Mattress Replacement Most, but not all, mattress replacement and overlay systems have a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or Rapid Deflate plug to allow rapid deflation of the mattress replacement or overlay system. None of the seat systems have a CPR (or Rapid Deflate) plug.
Mattress and Seat Systems Service Manual Maintenance CHAPTER 2 MAINTENANCE Mattress/Seat System Service To carry out a service on the mattress or seat system, do the following: Carry out the Mattress/Seat System Maintenance Checks (Refer to Page 9, Section 2). Carry out the Pressure and Function Test on the mattress or seat system in accordance with Chapter 5, Page 53, Section 1.
This chapter details the repair procedures for the range of mattress and seat systems identified in Chapter 1, Page 2, Table 1. All repairs should be carried out by Arjo approved service personnel. The repair procedures in this chapter are general and not unique to a product. Refer to Table 3 first to identify the relevant assembly drawing and parts list for the product being repaired, and then refer to them whilst carrying out the repair procedures detailed in Section 3 onwards of this chapter.
Refer to Table 3 for the assembly drawing and parts list for each mattress or seat system. Table 3 - Product Assemblies and Parts Lists Product Assembly Drawing Parts List Alpha Active Mattress Replacement (MR) Figure 6 Table 4 Alpha Active Mattress Overlay (OL) Figure 7...

Mattress and Seat Systems Service Manual Repair Removing the Top Cover Refer to Figure 22 for a typical view of the top cover assembly and mattress system. Zipped Top Cover Pull away the velcro strips at the head and foot end of the mattress, and undo the zips along all four sides.
Position the top cover over the mattress or seat. Note: Make sure that the cover is placed the correct way round, with the feet logo and/or Arjo logo facing up and situated at the feet end of the mattress or seat.
Mattress and Seat Systems Service Manual Repair Replacing the Non-Return Valve Assemblies Not all of the mattress replacements and overlays detailed in this service manual have non-return valve assemblies. Only those mattress replacements and overlays which have static head cells have non- return valve assemblies fitted in the manifold assembly.
Mattress and Seat Systems Service Manual Repair Removing a Cell Refer to Figure 24 for a typical view of the connections between the cell assembly and the manifold assembly. Note: The cells in the Alpha Trancell II mattress overlay are not individual, replaceable cells, but are a one-piece manufactured item, and can only be replaced as a single, complete item (the mattress overlay assembly).
Page 44
Mattress and Seat Systems Service Manual Repair Installing a Cell Note: There are several different cell assemblies in the various mattress replacements, overlays and seat systems detailed in this service manual. Make sure the cell assembly is the correct type for the particular mattress or seat, and also for the position within the mattress (where applicable).
Page 45
Mattress and Seat Systems Service Manual Repair Removing a Manifold Assembly Refer to Figure 24 for a typical view of the connections between the cell assembly and the manifold assembly. Note: The cells in the Alpha Trancell II mattress overlay are not individual, replaceable cells, but are a one-piece manufactured item (the mattress overlay assembly).
Page 46
Mattress and Seat Systems Service Manual Repair Installing a Manifold Assembly Note: Installing the T or elbow connectors into the manifold tubes or side-entry grommets on the cells is made easier if the parts are wetted with methylated spirit immediately prior to insertion. All Mattress Replacement and Overlay Systems except Alpha Trancell II Lay the manifold assembly onto the side of the mattress, with the tube connections to the pump at the feet end of the mattress and the CPR end plug assembly at the head end.
Page 47
Mattress and Seat Systems Service Manual Repair Replacing the CPR/Rapid Deflate End Plug Assembly Most, but not all, mattress replacement and overlay systems have a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or Rapid Deflate plug to allow rapid deflation of the mattress replacement or overlay system.
