CPU BOARD REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT
Tools Required:
• T27 Torx
• Needle-Nose Pliers
Procedure:
1. Run the litter to the full up position and remove the mattress from the bed.
2. Fold the foot section back toward the head end of the bed. Electrically run the knee section to full up. If the knee
section will not move electrically, pull the foot section toward the head end of the bed while pulling the CPR release
handle (located at the head end of the bed). The knee section will raise.
3. Using a T27 Torx, remove the four screws holding the cover to the actuator box and remove the cover.
4. Properly ground yourself (Refer to Static Protection Procedure).
5. Unplug all electrical connections from the CPU board.
6. Press the six stand off away from the board while gently lifting the board up and out.
7. Install the replacement CPU board.
Note
After the replacement CPU board is installed, a “burn-in” procedure must be performed for the Fowler and lift motor
potentiometers (Refer to Lift Potentiometer “Burn-in” Procedure and Fowler Potentiometer “Burn-in” Procedure).
If the bed is equipped with a scale system, the scale calibration procedure must also be performed after the replacement
CPU board is installed (Refer to Scale System Diagnostics and Calibration procedure).
