The electrical drive system for this bed consists of the following components:
•
One drive each for the backrest and thigh rest, and two drives for the mattress base

dust and water protected plug connections.

Batteries (lead-acid/lithium) for mains-independent emergency operation.
•
Optional equipment: various separate handsets, brake alarm, under bed light.
