5. Operation
These instructions cover day-to-day operation of the system. Other operations, such as maintenance
and repair, should only be carried out by suitably qualified personnel.
Installing the System
Before using the
Alpha Trancell
Deluxe system make sure that it
has been installed correctly in accordance with
Section 3, Page 6 “Installation”.
Where fitted, make sure:
• The rapid deflate stopper on the mattress is securely fitted.
• The Transport control on the mattress is set to Normal.
Inflating the Mattress
1.
Connect the pump to the mains power supply using the
supplied cable.
2.
Set the Power:connect / Power:disconnect switch to
Power:connect ( ). The pump performs a diagnostic self test,
illuminating all four indicators and sounding the audible alarm.
3.
At the end of this start-up sequence, the pump starts to inflate
the mattress or seat cushion.
• The green Power indicator and amber Wait indicator are
illuminated while the mattress or seat cushion is inflating.
• The pump may take up to 10-15 minutes to fully inflate a
mattress or 2-3 minutes for the seat cushion. The amber
Wait indicator extinguishes when the system is fully
inflated.
NOTE
Refer to Section 4, Page 9 “Controls and Indicators” for a comprehensive description of the
controls and indicators on the pump.
NOTE
If the operation of the pump changes during use, refer to “Troubleshooting Guide” on page 16 of
this manual before calling a service engineer or contacting your local Arjo sales office
.
WARNING
Make sure that the mains power cable and mattress tubeset are positioned to
avoid causing a trip or strangulation hazard, and are clear of moving bed
mechanisms or other possible entrapment areas.
Do not place the patient on the mattress or seat cushion until it is fully inflated,
when the Wait indicator is extinguished.
