Auto contour
Raise: The backrest and thigh rest are raised at the same time.
Lower: The thigh rest follows the backrest after a five second delay.
- This prevents the resident from sliding towards the foot end of the bed.
Height adjustment
Depending upon the bed model, the mattress base height can be adjusted from
approximately 19.5 to 80 cm.
During the height adjustment, continuous monitoring of the horizontal position
occurs – including when a strongly imbalanced load is acting on the mattress base.
During lowering of the bed, two intermediate stops occur automatically. To
continue lowering, the adjustment button must be released briefly and then pressed
again.
- The first intermediate stop takes place at approximately 40 cm, which is
the most comfortable height for getting in and out of bed.
Note: The bed also stops at approximately 40 cm when the bed is being
raised.
Only the height of the first intermediate stop can be individually
programmed for each resident (see chapter 4.4.2.3).
- The second intermediate stop is at approximately 25 cm. From this stop
onwards, the bed lowers at half speed and a warning tone sounds. The
purpose of this feature is to reduce the risk of foot injuries for carers.
If the mattress base is tilted, it automatically moves into a horizontal position
when it reaches the highest or lowest setting.
Sitting position
Initially, the backrest and thigh rest are raised (to an auto contour position). The
mattress base is then tilted to a reverse-Trendelenburg position.
