OWER FAILURES
The bed can be equipped (optionally) with additional emergency power supply –
Backup System, that enable to lower the backrest and leg sections in the event of a
power failure. If the bed is not equipped with an auxiliary power supply, in the event
of a power failure, the electrical functions will not work. This will cause that the
backrest section and/or leg section, as well as the position of the mattress platform
will remain in their last observed position (e. g. in a raised position).
Backup System is an auxiliary power device in the MCL II control box that is directly
connected to the control box. In the event of a failure/power failure the system enable
to control the bed’s functions for a limited period of time. The bed’s functions may run
slower due to the power supply from batteries.
Backup power systems are continuously charged when the bed is connected to the
mains supply in order to keep them constantly charged. The bed will operate normally
while charging. There is not audible or visual signal, which would indicate that the
system is charging or used.
Make sure that the backup power system is not exposed to direct
sunlight or other heat source
– direct heating of the battery by an
external heat source may result in a risk of fire or explosion.
Do not use the emergency power system during normal use (i. e.
when the bed is disconnected from the mains)
– due to the risk of
shortening the battery life.
