Introduction Chapter 1: Introduction Hilow Function The sleep surface of the AvantGuard™ Electric Bed can be raised or lowered to move the patient or to facilitate getting on/off the bed. The column-based elevation system frees space under the sleep surface and enables trendelenburg/reverse trendelenburg to be obtained automatically by the control unit.
Introduction Chapter 1: Introduction movements enlarge the sitting area, reduce pelvic pressure, enable the patient to breathe more easily by reducing abdominal pressure, limit the shearing forces and provide greater support for the head and neck. CPR Emergency Release The AvantGuard™ Electric Bed has an emergency lower function for the HS. The CPR release (M) is situated in the central part of the bed alongside the LCU (K) at either side under the sleep surface.
Introduction Chapter 1: Introduction To lower the FS of the LI159Ax model, ensure that the TS is at least at mid-height and press the FS lower button (H) of the control pendant or control panel on a flexible arm. Release the button at the desired angle or when maximum lowering is reached.

Theory of Operation Chapter 3: Theory of Operation Theory of Operation The operation of the AvantGuard™ Electric Bed is divided into 2 sub-systems: • Electrical • Mechanical The interaction between these sub-systems allows all the operational functions to be used. The electric functions are driven by low voltage actuators.
Mechanical System Chapter 3: Theory of Operation Mechanical System The mechanical sub-system consists of two connected systems: • Bed frame • Sleep surface Retractable Head Section The retractable head section feature is achieved by controlling a sliding movement of the HS frame with two sliding blocks in channels at each side of the intermediate frame which causes the HS frame to extend (with respect to the SS).
Mechanical System Chapter 3: Theory of Operation Casters The bed has four casters, three brake and one brake/steer, each with a 30° inclination activation mechanism and three positions: • Brake caster: Brake/Neutral/Neutral positions • Steer caster: Brake/Neutral/Steer positions Antistatic brake casters are available as an option. They are always fitted in pairs when this option is installed and are identified by a yellow dot on the tyre (single band) or in the centre of each caster (double band).
Mechanical System Chapter 3: Theory of Operation TotalGuard™ Integral Siderail Construction The siderail subassemblies comprise two head and foot sections in fire-resistant extruded/blow-moulded polypropylene and a metal support of the malleable parallelogram type. • Each head siderail integrates a double security release system. •...

Electrical System Chapter 3: Theory of Operation Automatic Contour The PSU, when it received a command from the CU, controls the automatic contour (HS and TS) operation of the bed. This function is carried out through an intermediate switch of the TS actuator. When the HS raise function is activated from the horizontal position, the HS and TS rise immediately until the intermediate internal microswitch of the TS actuator cuts its power at approximately 20°.
