3.6 The hand control
The hand control is equipped with a built-in locking device, which allows the caregivers to
lock the hand switch via a key completely or partially for its operation.
The lockable hand control, first-fault protected
The base functions can be controlled safely through a slight pressure on the six or respec-
tively ten extra large keys, which are located on the ergonomically designed hand control.
The individual keys are marked with corresponding symbols. The servomotors run until as
long as a corresponding key is pressed and held. A coiled cable allows the necessary free-
dom of movement while operating.
With the rear-mounted suspension unit, the hand control can be attached to the side rail
- particularly when cleaning and during the maintenance of the bed. Thus, a possible dis-
ruptive position of the hand control can be avoided by simply attaching it to any preferred
spot on the bed.
