2.8 SYSTEM OPERATION GUIDE
”BED EXIT” SYSTEM USAGE (Optional Equipment)
1. Before putting a new patient on the bed: prepare bed for patient stay by adding linens and equipment to
the bed. Press and hold ”DISARM” key for 5 seconds – ”ARMED” light will begin to flash. Release ”DIS-
ARM” key and do not touch the bed until ”ARMED” light stops flashing.
2. To arm Bed Exit: place patient on the bed, push ”ARM” key and release (”ARMED” light will come on).
3. To deactivate Bed Exit, push ”DISARM”. The ”ARMED” and ”BED EXIT ON” LED’s will turn off.
NOTE
If the scale system is active, it will switch to ”off” when Bed Exit is armed. Bed Exit will be temporarily disarmed
when the scale system is activated. When the bed is equipped with scales, the scales must be properly
zeroed for the Bed Exit System to function properly (see page 31 for scale system usage instructions).
WARNING
Bed Exit System does not prevent the patient from exiting the bed. It signals when a patient is about to exit.
Adding or subtracting objects from the bed after arming the bed exit system may cause a reduction in the
sensitivity of the bed exit system.
DYNAMIC MATTRESS SYSTEM USAGE (Optional Equipment)
1. Turn the mattress system on using the ”ON/OFF” switch in the ”Prevention Mattress” module on the foot
board control panel (see page 26 for Foot Board Control Panel Guide).
NOTE
Push this switch to turn the system both on and off. The ”AUTOMATIC” or ”MANUAL” LED on the foot board
will be on when the system is active.
2. The system can be set in either ”AUTOMATIC” or ”MANUAL” modes. The ”AUTO/MAN” switch is used
to activate both modes. When Automatic mode is selected, the ”AUTOMATIC” LED on the foot board
control panel will be on. When Manual mode is selected, the ”MANUAL” LED on the foot board control
panel and the ”MANUAL” LED on the inside siderail control panel will be on.
3. When the Automatic mode is selected, the firmness of the mattress will adjust automatically as needed.
When the Manual mode is selected, the firmness of the mattress can be adjusted by the patient or the
hospital clinical staff. The ”FIRM” and ”SOFT” switches are located on the control panels on the inside
of the head end siderails.
NOTE
The ”MANUAL” LED on the inside siderail will blink when the ”FIRM” or ”SOFT” switches are pressed while
in the manual mode.
4. If the ”AIR LOSS” LED is on, an air leak may exist.
FUNCTION LOCKOUT SYSTEM USAGE
1. To lock out the bed movement functions on the siderails and prevent the patient from changing the position-
ing of the bed, push the ”HEAD”, ”KNEE” and/or ”UP/DOWN” switches in the ”Siderail Control Lockouts”
module on the foot board control panel (see page 25).
NOTE
The foot board controls for these motions are not affected by the lockout switches.
The ”padlock” symbol on the control panel will be lighted when that function is locked out.
2. To lock out the entire bed motion for all switches on the bed, push the ”ON/OFF” switch in the ”Bed Motion
Lock” module on the foot board control panel (see page 25).
