Introduction
Overview
The Bed Locator locates the patient bed while providing an effective method to
protect walls from accidental damage. The Bed Locator may provide electrical
and communication services for patient care depending on options purchased.
Electrical outlets, along with telephone and two-way communication
connections, provide necessary connections for use with electrical devices.
Bed Locator Electrical Devices
The Bed Locator may be equipped with the following electrical devices:
Critical Branch Power Outlets
The critical branch power outlets provide an electrical service source for
devices that require no more than 125 volts. These outlets are connected to the
critical branch circuit. Power to these outlets will continue though normal
power service is interrupted.
Normal Power Outlets
The normal power outlets provide an electrical service source for devices that
require no more than 125 volts. Power to these outlets will be interrupted or
terminated if a power failure occurs within the building.
Dedicated Power Bed Outlet
The dedicated power bed outlet provides an electrical service source for patient
beds that require no more than 125 volts. The Bed Locator, when installed with
the Integris Patient Light provides a precautionary system that prevents any
items attached to the bed from damaging the Integris Patient Light. When an
object pushes up against the lower portion of the Integris Patient Light,
whether due to bed attachments or other objects, the circuit to the dedicated
power outlet is interrupted until the Integris Patient Light is returned to its
original position.
WARNING:
Only an electric bed shall be plugged into the designated power bed
outlet
.
No other equipment shall be connected to the power outlet due
to the potential hazard of power interruption
