Safety Information for Bed Operation
5.1.2 Length of Operation of Electric Actuators
Do not operate for more than two minutes at a time!
Continuous operation must not exceed two minutes! After this time, a rest period of at least 18
minutes must be observed.
If the electric actuator is operated for a much longer period, e.g. due to the patient continually
‘playing’ with the handset, the thermal protection device integrated in the transformer of the con-
trol unit will deactivate the actuator permanently.
In this extremely rare case, the control unit must be replaced.
Please note: Not all illustrations show the model that you have purchased. The step-by-
step instructions should still be carried out accordingly for your particular model.
When not in use, always use the hook provided to stow the handset in such a way that it cannot
fall off onto the floor and become damaged (see illustrations). Avoid collisions with other objects or
devices as this could inadvertently trigger adjustment functions and result in damage.
When routing the handset cable, ensure that it cannot be damaged by any moving parts of the
bed.
x Hang the handset with the keypad facing the inside of the bed
x Make sure that the cable cannot be crushed, stretched or otherwise damaged by moving parts
of the bed.
To safeguard the patient, and children in particular, against unintentional electrical adjustments,
place the handset out of their reach (e.g. at the foot end of the bed) or lock the appropriate ad-
justment options.
