PPM Operation for A Model Beds (P1600A)
Enable (Key)
Adjustments to the Mode and Volume controls are possible only when pressing and holding the Enable
key. This feature allows for easy access to the PPM controls, while reducing the potential for accidental
or intentional use by unauthorized personnel.
System Power
Turning on the system: For best results, the patient
should be centered on the mattress.
To turn the system on, simultaneously press the Enable
key and the Mode key. When first turned on, the system
goes into the Out Of Bed mode of operation.
Turning off the system:
To turn the system off, press the Enable key and the Mode
key until all the lights under the Mode and Volume keys
are off.
Modes of Operation
Changing the modes of operation: The PPM controls include the Off setting and three different modes of operation:
Position, Exiting, and Out of Bed. The modes and indicator lights are listed as follows:
•
Position (all three indicator lights on)
•
Exiting (bottom two indicator lights on)
•
Out of Bed (bottom indicator light on)
•
Off (all indicator lights off)
The caregiver can change the mode of operation by pressing and holding the Enable key, while pressing and releasing
the Mode key, until the desired mode is achieved. The system cycles through the modes in the following sequence: Off,
Out of Bed, Exiting, and Position.
NOTE:
If the PPM system is on, unplugging the bed causes the PPM to send a nurse call until power is restored.
