CHAPERONEr BED EXIT WITH ZONE CONTROL (OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT)
For beds with a scale system:
NOTE: If the weigh system is in use, it will switch to ”off” when Bed Exit is armed.
1. Before putting the patient on the bed, the weigh system must be zeroed for the Bed Exit System to func-
tion properly (see page 26 for instructions on zeroing the weigh system).
2. Put the patient on the bed and push and release the ”ARM/DISARM” key (top light will come on).
3. The Bed Exit system with Zone Control will automatically select the first zone. To change the zone, push
and hold the “SELECT ZONE” key until the light indicating the desired zone comes on.
4. To deactivate Bed Exit, push the ”ARM/DISARM” key. The selected zone light and ”BED EXIT ON” light will
turn off.
For beds without a scale system:
1. Before putting the patient on the bed, press and hold the ”ARM/DISARM” and the ”SELECT ZONE” keys
together for 5 seconds. The top light will begin to flash.
2. Release the ”ARM/DISARM” and the ”SELECT ZONE” keys and do not touch the bed until the top light
stops flashing.
3. Put the patient on the bed and push and release the ”ARM/DISARM” key (top light will come on).
4. The Bed Exit system with Zone Control will automatically select the first zone. To change the zone, push
and hold the “SELECT ZONE” key until the light indicating the desired zone comes on.
5. To deactivate Bed Exit, push the ”ARM/DISARM” key. The selected zone light and ”BED EXIT ON” light will
turn off.
CHAPERONEr ZONE SETTINGS
The first zone (top indicator light) is the traditional Bed Exit zone. The patient can move around the bed freely
but cannot fully exit the bed or the alarm will sound.
The second zone (middle indicator light) is more restrictive than the first zone. When the zone is selected, the
bed measures the location of the patient’s center of gravity. If the patient’s center of gravity moves from the original
location more than 6.5 inches to either side or 13 inches toward the head or foot, an alarm will sound.
The third zone (bottom indicator light) is the most restrictive zone. When the zone is selected, the bed mea-
sures the location of the patient’s center of gravity. If the patient’s center of gravity moves from the original
location more than 1 inch to either side or 1 inch toward the head or foot, an alarm will sound.
NOTE: All zone dimensions are ± .5 inches.
WARNING
To avoid possible injury and to assure proper operation when using a powered mattress replacement system
such as XPRT, do not initialize (“arm”) bed exit with Percussion, Vibration, Rotation or Turn−Assist active.
The patient motion and position resulting from a dynamic therapy mattress may adversely affect bed exit sys-
tem performance.
