Use the Air Supply Unit
The air supply unit provides a real-time display of air pressure for the head, seat, and foot
sections of the mattress assembly.
For an Excel Air™ Low Airloss Therapy Surface, the amount of pressure to support a
patient can be set automatically, based on the patient’s height and weight, or manually, for
custom configurations. All settings are stored in non-volatile memory. If power is
interrupted, the air supply unit automatically returns to the previous settings when the
power returns.
The air supply unit has the following controls:
Menu
• Enter—Moves to and from the Patient Setup screen.
• Help—Shows the Help screen.
• Arrows—Selects settings on the Patient Setup screen.
• Menu—Selects the Menu options.
