Level of Compliance Electromagnetic Environ-
ment
Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
IEC 61000-4-2
± 6 kV for contact
± 8 kV for air
± 6 kV for contact
± 8 kV for air
Ensure that the following
requirements are met:
Floors: wood, concrete or
ceramic tiles

response/ group of impulses
IEC 61000-4-4
± 2 kV in feeder line
± 1 kV in input/out- put line
± 2 kV in feeder line
± 1 kV in input/out- put line
Ensure that mains quality is
suitable for commercial or
hospital environment.

short-duration interruptions
and slow voltage changes on
the fee- der input line
IEC 61000-4-11
± 1 kV between lines
± 2 kV between line (lines)
and earth

Ensure that mains quality is
suitable for commercial or
hospital environments.
For permanent operation
during a power failure,
connect the bed to a power
generator since the back-up
battery’s capacity is limited.

elds of the network fre-
quency conform to the nor-
mal levels of commercial or
hospital environments.
