3.7 Electrical connection
CAUTION
Before you connect the cables, remove the packaging material from all the cables.
The 4 drive motors are supplied with electricity by the switch mode power supply. All drive
motor plugs are connected to the control unit at the factory and secured with a cover to pre-
vent unintentional removal. The two plugs at the ends of the coiled cables must be inserted
into the correct lifting motor in each case (either the lifting motor on the head-end chassis or
the lifting motor on the foot end chassis) that is located under the mattress base frame.
Material damage
Failure to heed this warning may result in material damage due to incorrectly routed cables.
•
Lay all cables carefully.
•
When laying the connecting cables for the lifting drives, the cable must be routed through
the guides at the head end and foot end of the bed. It is important to ensure that the
coiled section of the cable is routed along the same (inward-facing) side of the chassis as
the drive motors.
•
Ensure that no cables are damaged, there are no loops and the cables are not squeezed
by moving parts.
•
The electricity cable must not be run over by the castors when the bed is moved!
1.
Insert the angled plug [1] for the drive motor on the head end chassis or foot end chas-
sis as far as it will go and secure it with the pull-out prevention device [2].
2.
Connection of the 24 volt cable:
Note:There is a strain relief for the 24 volt connection socket on the cross tube of the
head end chassis (see [a]). The strain relief is provided with an angular open lug and
applies for the Dali standard, Dali-wash and Dali low-entry bed variants.
