Initialization
An initialization should be carried out the very first
time the bathtub is started up and after every power
failure.
Should be performed after/when:
•
First time start-up
•
Power failure (power cut, disconnection from
supply or shutdown)
Reason:
The initialization function (continuous movement
monitoring) is designed with safety and the
protection of the equipment/user in mind. The
control switches off automatically if one of the
actuators is working faster than the other one.
Process (Using Hand Control with Black
Buttons):
Please press the DOWN key on the hand control
to initialize the control mechanism. When you
reach the lowest position, keep the DOWN button
pressed for another 5 seconds. An audible tone will
sound and the system is ready to be used.
Please do not hesitate do contact us if you have any
further queries.
Instruction Manual
Using the Bath
Lower the bath to its lowest position to calibrate the
actuators.
The drain plug closes (and opens) by turning the
overflow valve.
Adjust the thermostat to the required temperature
(see separate thermostatic mixer operating
manual). Open the thermostat and test the water
temperature by hand or with a bath thermometer.
Fill the bath to the required level and close the
thermostat.
Always check the water temperature by hand or a
bath thermometer before the patient gets into the
bath.
Lower the tub to the lowest position with the hand
control allowing patient to step into the bath with
assistance. Place the hand control back into its
bracket at the back of the tub after use. The built-
in handles provide the patient with extra support.
When the patient is assisted into the bath with a
lift system, the lifter must be positioned close to
the side of the bathtub. The bathtub should be
in a covenient working height and be adjusted by
pressing the relevant button on the hand control.
Place the hand control back into its bracket at the
back of the tub after use.
Please make sure that the bathtub is lowered and
raised evenly, both at the head and foot end of the
tub. The tub must be level at all times. The patient
must not use the bath if it is not level.
The foot support shall be removed before the lift
stretcher is lowered into the water. It can be placed
into the required position when a chair lift is used.
The shower handle is used to shower the patient and
to rinse equipment after cleaning. Pull the diverter
knob on the thermostat. This diverts the water from
the bath filling spout to the shower handle. Always
test the water temperature by hand to prevent
patients from being scalded or shocked by cold/hot
water.
After bathing, please proceed in reverse order.
