4 Putting into Service
4.1 Putting into service
4.2 Making Ready for Operation
Before initial operation, no electrical measurement is necessary for beds with a 24-volt sys-
tem, since these beds are tested for electrical safety and functionality by the manufacturer
before they leave the factory in perfect condition.
• Allow the bed to adjust to room temperature for about 20 minutes if it was stored be-
forehand at the lowest or highest permissible temperature.
• After the bed has been assembled, carry out a check in accordance with the chapter
Part B: Maintenance » 47.
• Clean and disinfect the bed before it is used for the first time and before every re-use in
accordance with the chapter
Part B: Cleaning and Disinfection » 42.
• The bed is ready for operation if all the steps described in the chapter Part B: Assem-
bling the Care Bed » 10 have been read and carried out successfully.
Before putting the bed into service each time, the user must check that:
• The bed has been cleaned and disinfected.
• The castors are braked.
• The power supply is compatible with the bed (AC 230 V, 50/60 Hz, -15% - +10%).
• The switch mode power supply is connected and the cable is routed in such a way that
it cannot be damaged.
• The switch mode power supply, drive cables and handset cable cannot be damaged by
moving parts of the bed.
• No obstacles such as bedside cabinets, supply rails or chairs will inhibit adjustments.
• All adjustments function properly and have been checked (see Part B: Inspections and
Function Checks » 48).
The bed must not be put into operation unless these checks have been carried out!
