2.5 Head Up Malfunction
The head motor does not raise the head section when the head up switch is
activated.
1. The bed is plugged into the appropriate power source, and the lockout
switch is off.
Yes No
Plug the bed into an appropriate power source and turn the
lockout switch off. If this solves the problem, go to “Final
Actions” on page 2-10. Otherwise, continue to step 2.
2. Check the CPR release handles on either side of the bed. The CPR handles
are in the proper position, and no sheets or blankets are caught between the
head section and the CPR release handle causing the CPR release to
actuate.
Yes No
Remove the sheet or blanket that is causing the CPR release to
actuate. If this solves the problem, go to “Final Actions” on page
2-10. Otherwise, continue to step 3.
3. Activate the head up switch on the opposite siderail. The head motor runs.
Yes No
Go to step 5.
4. Activate another bed switch on the siderail with the non-functioning head
up switch. The other bed functions work properly.
Yes No
Replace the P.C. switch board containing the faulty function(s)
for caregiver controls (refer to procedure 4.30) or for patient
controls (refer to procedure 4.29). If this solves the problem, go
to “Final Actions” on page 2-10. Otherwise, continue to step 5.
5. Activate the head up switch, and listen for an audible relay click. An
audible clicking sound can be heard.
Yes No
Replace the logic control P.C. board (refer to procedure 4.23).
If this solves the problem, go to “Final Actions” on page 2-10.
Otherwise, continue to step 6.
6. Allow the head motor to cool. Activate the head motor up switch. The head
motor runs.
Yes No
Replace the head motor (refer to procedure 4.5). If this solves the
problem, go to “Final Actions” on page 2-10. Otherwise,
continue to step 8.
