Purpose

This document outlines the procedure for programming new stop positions in the event flash memory has

been emptied (erased).

NOTE: Images used in this document are for reference only when assembling, installing and/or operating

this product. Actual appearance of provided and/or purchased parts and assemblies may differ.

Safety

Read and understand all instructions before installing or operating this product. Adhere to all safety labels.

Procedure

For the controller to work properly, at least one stop position (limit) must be set. Typically, this is the lowest

position the bed can reach.

The controller can be programmed with up to five stop positions, and will automatically detect the lowest of

those positions as its limit-reference. The programmed stop positions are stored in flash memory.

When activating the system, if the red lights (Fig. 1E and F) start flashing one second on/one second off,

then flash memory is empty. The existing stop positions are erased as soon as the programming mode

is selected. If the board loses power at any position before step 6, the stop positions will not be saved to

memory. When activating it after power is restored the red warning lights (Fig. 1E and F) will be flashing.

The bed can only be raised when a new setting is stored in memory.

Programing New Stop Positions

To create a new, or sequence of, stop position(s), do as follows;

NOTE: Some control panels have a keyed switch, others (Fig. 1) do not.

1. Make sure the controller is activated.

A. If the two arrow-shaped lights (Fig. 1A) are on, proceed to step 2.

B. If the arrow lights do not come on immediately after the controller is activated, press and hold the

UP button (Fig. 1B) for about six seconds until the lights turn on.

C. If after six seconds the lights do not turn on, make sure the system has power.

I. Unplug the harness from the back of the controller, wait a moment then reconnect.

II. Repeat steps A. or B.

The “CAUTION” symbol above is a sign that a safety risk is involved and may cause personal injury

and/or product or property damage if not safely adhered to and within the parameters set forth

in this manual.

Programming Stop Positions

Initial Stop Position Requirement

At least one stop position must be set for the controller to function, typically the lowest bed position.

Initiating Programming Mode

Procedure to activate programming mode, including button presses and indicator light checks.

End-of-Stroke Detection

The end-of-stroke position must be detected before any data can be stored by the controller.

Storing a Stop Position

Store a stop position by holding the NULL button and pressing the DOWN button; green lights confirm storage.

Setting Additional Positions

Move the bed to desired positions and repeat the storage step to set multiple stop positions.

Exiting Programming Mode

Exit programming mode by holding UP and pressing NULL, or automatically after five positions are stored.

The Lippert Components Project 2000® TopLine Bedlifting Plus is a sophisticated system designed for programming and managing stop positions for a bedlifting mechanism, specifically tailored for the European market. This document outlines the procedures for setting new stop positions, particularly when the system's flash memory has been erased, ensuring the bed operates within defined limits.

Function Description

The primary function of the Project 2000® TopLine Bedlifting Plus is to allow users to program and store up to five distinct stop positions for a bed. These stop positions are crucial for defining the bed's operational range, preventing over-extension or over-retraction, and ensuring safe and consistent movement. The system automatically identifies the lowest programmed position as its limit-reference, which is essential for proper functionality. The controller stores these programmed stop positions in flash memory, making them persistent even after power cycles, provided they are saved correctly.

The system incorporates a programming mode that is activated when the flash memory is empty or when the user wishes to redefine the stop positions. During this mode, the controller allows the user to manually move the bed to desired positions and then save those positions into memory. A key safety feature is that the controller will not allow data storage until the end-of-stroke position has been detected and set, ensuring that the system has a fundamental reference point for its operation.

The control panel features UP and DOWN buttons for moving the bed, as well as a hidden (NULL) button used in conjunction with the movement buttons to initiate programming and store stop positions. Visual indicators, such as arrow-shaped lights, a green light with a wrench icon, and a red warning light, provide feedback on the system's status, including power, programming mode activation, and error conditions.

Usage Features

The Project 2000® TopLine Bedlifting Plus is designed for intuitive use, though it requires specific sequences of button presses for programming.

Activation and Initial Setup:

To begin, the controller must be activated. This is indicated by two arrow-shaped lights turning on. If they don't, the user can press and hold the UP button for about six seconds until the lights illuminate.
If the lights still don't turn on, troubleshooting involves unplugging and reconnecting the harness from the back of the controller to ensure a proper power connection.

Programming New Stop Positions:

Initiating Programming Mode: A hidden (NULL) button, located between the UP and DOWN buttons, is central to initiating the programming sequence. To enter programming mode, the user must press and hold the NULL button while simultaneously pressing the UP button twice, then the DOWN button twice, and finally the UP button once. This sequence must be performed slowly, with approximately a one-second gap between presses.
Visual Confirmation: Upon successful initiation, a green light with a wrench icon will turn on, indicating that the system is in programming mode. If this light does not turn on, the sequence needs to be repeated.
End-of-Stroke Detection: A critical step before storing any stop positions is to reach and set the bed's end-of-stroke position. If the flash memory was empty, a red warning light will flash until this position is reached. The user must press and hold the UP switch until the bed automatically stops at its end-of-stroke. The red warning light will turn off once this position is detected, signifying that the system is ready to store data.
Setting Intermediate Stop Positions: Once the end-of-stroke position is set, the user can move the bed to any desired intermediate position using the DOWN button.
Storing Stop Positions: To store a specific stop position, the user must press and hold the hidden (NULL) button and the DOWN button simultaneously. The arrow-shaped lights indicating bed direction will momentarily turn off, confirming that the data has been stored.
Multiple Stop Positions: The system allows for up to five stop positions. Users can repeat the process of moving the bed and storing positions. The controller automatically sorts the stored positions, so they do not need to be programmed in a specific sequence.
Exiting Programming Mode: The programming mode can be exited at any time by pressing and holding the UP button and then the hidden (NULL) button. If five stop positions are stored, the controller will automatically exit programming mode.
Completion Indicator: Once programming operations are complete and the data is sorted, the green light with the wrench icon will turn off, and the controller will be ready for normal use.

Safety Features:

The system includes "CAUTION" warnings regarding the potential for personal injury or product damage if instructions are not followed, and specifically highlights the danger of moving parts that can pinch, crush, or cut.
The controller's inability to store data until the end-of-stroke position is detected is a crucial safety mechanism, preventing the system from operating without a fundamental reference point.
If data is stored without first reaching the end-of-stroke position, the red warning light will remain on until the buttons are pressed, alerting the user to an incomplete setup.

Maintenance Features

The document primarily focuses on programming and operational aspects rather than traditional maintenance. However, certain elements can be considered "maintenance-like" in the context of system upkeep and functionality:

Flash Memory Management: The ability to reprogram stop positions after the flash memory has been emptied (erased) is a key maintenance feature. This allows for system reset and reconfiguration, which might be necessary after component replacement, system upgrades, or in cases of data corruption.
Troubleshooting Power Issues: The instruction to unplug and reconnect the harness from the controller if the arrow lights do not turn on after activation serves as a basic troubleshooting step for power-related issues, helping to restore system functionality without requiring specialized tools or knowledge.
Error Indication: The flashing red warning light (Fig. 1F) serves as an important diagnostic indicator. It signals that the flash memory is empty or that the end-of-stroke position has not been detected, guiding the user to perform the necessary programming steps to resolve the issue. This visual feedback helps in identifying and addressing problems promptly.
System Reset for Programming: The process of entering programming mode effectively acts as a soft reset for the stop position data, allowing for a complete redefinition of the bed's operational limits. This ensures that the system can always be reconfigured to meet changing requirements or to correct previous programming errors.

In summary, the Project 2000® TopLine Bedlifting Plus is a user-centric system for managing bed movement, emphasizing safety through defined stop positions and clear programming procedures. Its design allows for flexible configuration and provides visual cues for operational status and troubleshooting.
