Bed not in lowered position indicator
An indicator light on the control pendant*, foot
control pendant*, the control unit on a flexible
arm* or the caregiver half-siderail control*
goes off when the bed is in the lowered
position. This position is recommended when
patients are left unattended.
Night light*
A night light under the caregiver unit can be used to quickly see
whether the bed is in the low position at night for greater safety.
Once activated, the night light comes on and changes color
according to the height of the sleep surface.
• green: bed in low position.
• orange: bed not in low position.
Equipotential terminal
Failure to connect the equipotential cable may result in
corporal injury.
When direct intravascular or intracardiac connections
are in use, the electric potentials of all the unprotected
metal parts need to be equalized.
The bed must be connected to the electrical installation.
To equalize potentials if a grounded power connection is
unavailable, connect the equipotential cable (AC968A) to
the connection terminal on the bed and the device.
Equipotential cable (AC968A)
It is fitted with two POAG-WB 6 DIN type connectors
and a 2 m long yellow and green cable.
This cable permit to equalize the electric potentials
of all the unprotected metal parts of a device and the
bed.
Nurse call*
Use the controls on the patient keypads, the caregiver keypads or the control
pendant* to activate the “Nurse call” function.
Check that the cable connecting the bed to the hospital’s communications
system is connected.
