6.5.5 Battery Replacement
Compatible batteries are available from Burmeier; for address see page 60.
Before the installation work, make sure that the battery set is correctly
connected. Please refer to the drawing in the battery compartment
and check that all connections are seated correctly.
The battery compartment has been hermetically sealed from the
electronics compartment by the manufacturer. When replacing
batteries, this insulation must not be damaged or altered, as this could
result in battery gases penetrating into the electronics compartment
and causing an explosion in extreme cases.
When changing batteries, the sealing material of the housing
(silicone ring or joint sealer) must not be damaged and must be
correctly replaced in the joint afterwards. The screws in the housing
must be tightened to a torque of approx. 1 Nm. If the sealing
material is damaged, it must be replaced (LINAK article number
0008004 for a 100 m roll).
The battery compartment has its own fan. This must not be
obstructed or covered as otherwise pressure could build up and an
explosion could occur.
 For easy installation, move the mattress base to the highest position.
 Unplug the mains cable.
 Remove the Torx screws on the control unit (see Chapter 6.5.2).
 Replace the battery pack with an identical one.
 In doing so, pay attention to the installation instructions on the inside of the
housing cover.
 Fasten the housing cover with the four Torx screws. Make sure that the silicone
seal is correctly positioned!
 Place the mains cable as previously in the cable holders and screw the mains
cable strain relief in place.
 Insert the mains plug into an electrical socket. The LED on the control unit must
light up green and the battery charge display
on the control panel must
light up orange.
 Test the function of the power adjustments!
 Charge the batteries. To do so, connect the bed to the mains supply for at
least 8 -10 hours. Only then is the battery ready for emergency use without
restriction.
Disposal
Lead-acid batteries must not be disposed of as household waste. They
can be returned to Burmeier or disposed of at local waste collection
points in the same way as car batteries.
