It takes approximately 5 seconds for the PPM to activate.
When activated and in the Out of Bed mode, if the PPM detects patient
movement off the bed, an audible alarm sounds, the bottom Out of Bed light
begins flashing, and a repeating nurse call is sent. The light and alarm continue
until the PPM system is turned off, even if the patient lies down on the bed
again.
Volume and Tone Levels
Changing the volume level:
For A model beds:
To change the volume level, make sure the PPM system is on, then
simultaneously press and hold the enable switch along with the volume switch
until the desired volume setting is reached. When the volume is set at high, all
three volume indicator lights illuminate. When the volume is set at medium,
only the Med and Low lights illuminate. When the volume is set at low, only
the Low light illuminates. There is no off setting for the volume of the PPM
alarm on the bed.
For B model beds:
To change the volume level, make sure the PPM system is on, then press and
hold the desired volume switch until the LED next to the volume switch is
illuminated (approximately 1 second).
Changing the alarm tone:
For A model beds:
The caregiver may wish to change the alarm tone to distinguish the PPM alarm
from other pieces of equipment that have audible alarms. There are four
different alarm tones. To change the alarm tone, press and hold the enable
switch, while simultaneously pressing both the mode and volume switches. The
selected alarm will sound until one of the switches is released. When the
desired tone is reached, release the switch.
