Tilt
Head down tilt (Trendelenburg) and foot down tilt
(reverse Trendelenburg) can be applied using the
Attendant Control Panel.
Press the
Tilt
Function key. The indicator above it will
light green.
Press and hold either
Direction
key until the required tilt
angle is achieved. The mattress platform will continue to
move until the
Direction
key is released or the limit of
travel is reached.
When returning from a tilted position, the mattress platform
will pause at the horizontal position before continuing.
Extra-low
height
When the mattress platform is at low height, the bed can
be lowered by a further 3 ins. (8cm) as follows:
Press and hold the
Mattress Platform Height
key; at the
same time, press and hold the
Direction Down
key. Hold
down both keys until the mattress platform stops moving.
Caution
At extra-low height, clearance below the bed is reduced. Take
care when using patient lifts or similar equipment with the bed
in this position.
Bed angle
indication
(9000+ range)
When operating the controls for backrest, thigh section,
kneebreak or tilt, the weighing system display shows the
approximate angle (in degrees) of the selected function.
Angles are shown relative to the ground, so the displayed
values of backrest, thigh or kneebreak angle change when
the bed is tilted.
The tilt angle is shown as a positive value when the bed is
in foot down tilt and negative when in head down tilt.
