3.9 Electrical connection
ATTENTION
• When connecting components, always ensure that the plugs are inserted fully into the
control unit. This is the only way to ensure proper sealing and faultless operation.
• Ensure that the plug cover is always on the control unit.
• Stow the motor cable and handset cable under the mattress base frame in such a way
that there are no loops and they will not be damaged by moving parts of the bed. Use
the cable routing provided on the chassis for this purpose.
• Please take extra care when laying the switch mode power supply connection cable.
This cable must not be damaged by moving bed parts or trapped under the castors
when moving the bed!
Material damage
Failure to heed this warning may result in irreparable faults to the switch mode power sup-
ply unit and a short-circuit in the wall socket.
•
The mains socket you wish to use for the switch mode power supply must NOT be under
the bed. Otherwise, the moving mattress base frame may rip the switch mode power sup-
ply out of the mains socket during horizontal adjustments.
•
Before moving the bed, always hang the switch mode power supply on the head end
chassis using the cable holder. The cable holder is attached to the mains cable.
•
Before moving the bed, remember the length of the electrical cable; unplug the power
supply cable beforehand.
•
Take care when adjusting the height: Maintain a sufficient distance at the side between
the bed and the switch mode power supply to avoid damaging it. Use wall deflector rollers
if necessary.
•
Position the bed so as to allow easy access to the switch mode power supply at all times
so that the bed can be disconnected from the mains, if necessary.
All plugs are connected to the control unit. To prevent the plugs from being inadvertently dis-
connected, they are secured with a locking device.
Only the switch mode power supply must be connected.
