The beds are equipped with reliable control units, controllers and motors that have low noise levels and do not place any demands
on maintenance even after several years of operation. The bed may be equipped with multiple types of electronics based on the bed
configuration.
Before positioning any part or the entire bearing area, make sure that the power supply cable, the nurse panel cable
or the hand controller cable cannot be interrupted by a single movement. This may happen especially due to
inappropriate cable pulling through the bed chassis!
Press the buttons in their centres with finger pads only. Otherwise it may result in simultaneous pressing of more
buttons! In such case, the bed would start positioning in the direction of the first push-button pressed. Others are
ignored!
When adjusting the positions of any parts of the bed, no foreign object or part of the human body may interfere with
the working area of the moving parts of the bed. Furthermore, make sure that there is no object above the bed that
could collide with the bed bearing area or its accessories during adjustment. It may cause damage to its parts and
accessories, but especially bodily harm!
Never exert the force greater than 10 N on the buttons of the patient controller. These buttons are controlled by the
finger pads of upper limbs. Excessive load, control by other parts of the human body or control by other objects may
cause bodily harm, damage to the equipment or surrounding objects!
The maximum allowed time for the continuous operation of the motors is 2 minutes, then a break must follow for at
least 18 minutes!
If the bed is not used, it must remain in the basic position (i.e. the bearing area and all the adjustable parts are in the
lowest possible position)!
If the patient is not under supervision, the bed must be kept in the lowest position in order to reduce the risk of injury
due to falling out of the bed!
During the bed positioning, the protection of the so-called collision states can be activated when it is no longer possible
to adjust the bed in the given direction in which it is controlled, namely due to the risk of endangering the patient,
the operator or damaging the bed. These positions are indicated by the bed stop and by a short acoustic signal. If you
continue to hold the selected function, the safe movement will continue after 3 seconds to avoid the injury to the
patient or operator and damage to the bed. Such states may occur, e.g. when going down from the vertical position.
At first, the bed reaches the lowest horizontal position and then the bed can be adjusted to the height!
If any function of the bed does not work as required by the operator, always make sure first that the patient controller
has been activated using the activation GO button. The adjustment failure can also be caused, for example, by the
fact that the part you want to adjust is in the extreme position (maximum or minimum position) where it can be
adjusted only in the opposite direction. Some functions of the patient controller might be locked against unauthorized
use – unlock the functions according to the instructions in the PATIENT MANUAL CONTROLLER. If none of the
above options is helpful, continue with Chapter 13. PROBLEMS AND TROUBLESHOOTING.
