Battery (AG7)
A battery system is available as accessory for S and TK model hospital beds
which allows the use of bed functions when mains power is not available.
Batteries are standard equipment in ICU models.
The ScanAfia X hospital beds use 1.2 Ah lead gel batteries.
IMPORTANT!
The battery is meant for emergency power source when
mains power is not available. The bed must be plugged in
whenever possible. When the bed is plugged in, the charge
level of the battery is under control and the battery is charged
automatically.
IMPORTANT!
The battery sounds a signal and stops the movement for a
moment when its power is low. If the battery power is low and
bed movements must be run, do so one movement at a time.
Do not use the pushbuttons of the hand-held control, which
activate several movements simultaneously.
IMPORTANT!
To use the battery system of a bed equipped with one, the
battery must be charged for at least 14 hours after storage or
before it is first commissioned.
IMPORTANT!
The battery is discharged within a few months of storage.
Always charge the battery fully before storage of longer than
six months. You must charge the battery fully once every 12
months.
IMPORTANT!
After long-term storage, the battery may need to be charged
and discharged several times to reach its peak performance.
IMPORTANT!
The bed's control system uses a small amount of current
although the bed functions are not used. This may result in full
discharge of the battery, which may damage it.
IMPORTANT!
See section 9.3 Battery maintenance procedures in these
operating instructions.
IMPORTANT!
In beds equipped with the battery system, the bed adjustment
functions operate even after the bed is unplugged or during a
power outage for as long as the batteries have power. The
operations of the bed may be prevented using the nurse's
control or locking board.
