MATTRESS AND CONTROL UNIT SET-UP DIRECTIONS
1. Place the mattress on a standard hospital bed frame or on a box spring, with the purple coverlet facing up,
and the connector access at the foot-end of the bed, to the patient's right. Note that the connector access is
on the inner gray top surface air delivery cover, which should also be facing up, under the purple coverlet.
2. Hang the air-control unit on the foot-end of the bed or place on the floor as desired. Avoid blocking vent
holes for filter on the back of the control unit housing.
3. Plug the power cable into the connector module on the air-control unit (on lower lefthand side when facing
the control unit) and plug the opposite end into the wall outlet.
Always plug the power cable securely into the wall outlet. Make sure the wall-
mounted outlet will accommodate a heavy duty or hospital-grade plug and that the outlet is in good
working order. The plug of the power cord should fit tightly into the wall outlet. The plug body, the wall
outlet, and the wall plate should not be cracked or chipped. The plug blades should be securely retained
in the plug body. The ground pin of the plug should be intact and secure.
Do not connect the power cord to an extension cord or to a multiple outlet strip. If the use of extension
cords or multiple outlet strips cannot be avoided, use only heavy duty or hospital-grade connectors that
are approved by the facility engineering department. Multiple outlet strips should be mounted on a
fixed object to reduce the risk of liquid spills and physical damage. In addition, if multiple-receptacle
outlet boxes are used, they also should be protected from the risk of liquid spills and physical damage.
All extension cords and multiple outlet strips should be tagged and inspected routinely.
Do not cover the power cord with a rug or carpet. Rugs or carpets can prevent normal air flow, which
can lead to greater heat built-up. Place the cord in a low or no traffic area. Check to be sure the motion
of the bed does not interfere with the bed’s power cord or plug.
Never thread power cords through mechanical parts of the bed or bed rails where normal bed
movement may damage or cut the cord.
Note: If the pump is quickly restarted after a power interruption, you may encounter fluctuating power
indicated by blinking lights. Turn power off. Wait at least 5 seconds before restarting.
4. Connect the air lines extending from the mattress into place on the side of control unit.
- Air Delivery Line: The large diameter air line delivers a high volume air flow to the top layer of
mattress. For all models, click the male fitting of the large diameter air line into place in the female
air outlet on the side of the control unit. To disconnect, press grey button on the outlet. This will
release and eject the air line.
- Support Cylinder Air lines: The small diameter air lines deliver lower volume air flow to the support
cylinders inside the mattress. On Standard model, click in place the two separate male elbow fittings,
