Citadel Bed Frame System
Backup Battery
To make sure the battery is kept fully charged and prevent
damage to the battery, the bed should be connected to the
electricity supply at all times during normal use.
The battery is intended for emergency short-term use only. Its life
will be reduced if it is used to power the bed for long periods.
The backup battery will power Skin IQ for four hours before
shutting off to preserve battery life for emergency bed functions.
Skin IQ is only powered if plugged into the bed's Skin IQ 12 VDC
power cable.
The backup battery allows operation of the bed for short periods when it is
unplugged from the electricity supply or in emergency situations when the
electricity supply is not available.
When the bed is unplugged from mains power, it enters a low-power mode to
conserve battery power. In this state, the under bed lights, the indicator LEDs on
the control panels and the weighing system display are turned off.
Pressing any of the control buttons brings the bed out of low-power mode. The
bed will return to low-power mode two minutes after the last control button was
pressed.
The battery’s charge level is indicated as follows:
• If an intermittent warning tone (beep-beep-beep) sounds when operating
the bed, the battery is between 75% and 100% charged. In this condition,
all bed functions remain operational.
• If a continuous warning tone sounds when operating the bed, the
battery is between 10% and 75% charged. In this condition, all functions
except CPR and Tilt will be locked five seconds after the last button is
pressed. The other functions can be temporarily reinstated by pressing
the Function Lock button once and then pressing the required Function
button to unlock its operation.
• If the ACP battery indicator LED lights red, the battery is less than 10%
charged. In this condition, all functions are locked. Plug bed in.
All functions will remain locked even after mains power is
reconnected. To unlock all functions connect mains power
and then press the Function Lock button, then select the
function(s) to unlock.
