14 Hill-Rom® P500 Therapy Surface User Manual (158251 REV 3)
Control Unit Features and Use
The control unit is installed on the
footboard of the bed. The unit
automatically supplies pressure
redistribution and Advanced
Microclimate™ Technology (AMT)
(next-generation Low Air Loss) to the
surface. (For more information about
AMT, go to “Surface Features and Use”
on page 23.) Through the unit’s control
panel, the caregiver does these:
• Sets alarms (see “Alarms” on page 17).
• Change the air pressure levels for the surface (see “Comfort Adjust”
on page 20).
• Sets the surface modes (see “Surface Modes” on page 20).
• Enters the occupant’s weight (see “Set Up the System for Occupant
Placement” on page 27).
Power Switch
The power switch turns the control unit on and off.
The switch is next to power cord connector on the
left side of the control unit.
NOTE:
When you turn on the unit, you must set the system up for occupant
placement (see “Set Up the System for Occupant Placement” on page
27), or the unit will go into an alarm state.
CPR
WARNING:
The P500 CPR control does not
control the bed frame. You must use
the bed CPR controls to put the bed
frame into the CPR position. Failure to
do so could cause occupant injury.
The CPR control is on the front of the
control unit at the upper left-hand corner. When you press the CPR
control, the system hyperinflates the surface for 60 minutes to supply a
firm surface for CPR.
