• Route the cable of the switch mode power supply in such a way that it
cannot be pulled, driven over or damaged by moving parts when the
bed is operated.
• At regular intervals, carry out a visual inspection of the power supply
cable to check for mechanical damage (scuffing, exposed wires,
kinks, pressure points, etc.). Such a check should be performed:
• Whenever the cable of the switching power supply has been
subjected to any mechanical load, e.g. has been driven over by the
bed itself or by an equipment trolley, has been bent, stretched or
violently pulled due to the bed rolling away while still plugged into the
wall socket.
• Before plugging it back into the power socket after the bed has been
moved or relocated.
• Regularly by the user when the bed is in constant operation.
• If any damage or malfunction is suspected,
• Unplug the switch mode power supply immediately from the mains
socket,
• Indicate clearly that the bed is “Out of Order”,
• Take the care bed out of service, and
• Report this immediately to the operator responsible.
• Check the strain relief of the power mains cable regularly to ensure
that it is securely fixed.
• When using external electrical components such as patient lifts,
reading lamps, or compressors for positioning systems, ensure that
their power cables will not become entangled or damaged by moving
parts of the bed. This will prevent potential hazards due to electric
shocks, fire etc.
• Do not use multiple socket outlets placed loosely on the floor to
connect external electrical components. These could cause electrical
hazards due to damaged mains cables or the ingress of liquids.
• The cable for the switch mode power supply is fitted with a mains
cable holder. The holder is located on the mains cable itself
o Before moving the bed, always make sure that you have
unplugged the switch mode power supply from the mains socket.
Hang it on the headboard with the mains cable holder to ensure it
will not fall off and the cable does not trail on the floor.
