BATTERY BACKUP OPERATION AND BATTERY CHARGING (EPIC+ OPTION)
1. A unit equipped with the Epic+ option has two 12 volt batteries to provide back–up power to the unit func-
tions if the power cord is unplugged from the wall socket. The unit functions will not operate properly with
the power cord unplugged if the batteries are not sufficiently charged. The batteries are charging whenev-
er the power cord is plugged into a properly grounded, hospital grade wall socket. When the unit is station-
ary, the power cord should be plugged into a wall socket whenever possible. The batteries require approxi-
mately 10 hours of charging time when they are fully discharged.
2. Activate the battery backup option by placing the battery power switch located at the left side of the head
end of the litter in the “ON” position. The Battery Power LED will illuminate. The three LED’s on the head
end control panel will flash on for approximately 1 second to indicate the level of battery charge. All three
will flash if the batteries are fully charged, two will flash if the batteries are partially discharged but still ade-
quate for operation and only one will flash if the batteries are near full discharge. The “Plug Bed In To
Charge” LED on the Head End Control Panel (see page 24) will remain illuminated while the battery power
switch is on if the battery level is low. Plug the power cord into a wall socket to charge the batteries.
3. After one hour on battery power, the unit will enter power save mode and none of the unit’s powered func-
tions will operate. To reactivate the battery backup, either toggle the battery power switch off and back
on again or plug the bed power cord into a wall socket.
NOTE
The Battery Power LED located above the battery power switch will be illuminated when the unit is in power
save mode.
WARNING
Functions including Bed Exit, scale and bed motion will cease to operate when the unit enters the power save
mode. Injury to the patient could occur if proper patient monitoring protocol is not observed.
Due to the weight the battery back–up option adds to the bed (approximately 50 pounds), additional force
is required to move a bed equipped with the EPIC+ Option. Caution should be used when transporting this
bed. Additional assistance should be used when necessary. Failure to use caution while transporting this
bed may result in injury to the user.
