SPIRIT™ POWER STATUS INDICATOR The enhanced footboard staff control on the Spirit Select™ is equipped with an integrated power status indicator. This cluster of 3 discrete icons indicate the realtime status of power available to operate the bed. The icons will illuminate respective of the source of power, the operation of the battery charging circuit, and the level of battery power. The battery is continuously charged when connected to the CB10 control box and the bed is plugged into an AC power outlet. If the battery voltage drops below 18VDC, battery power will be automatically disrupted to prevent further discharge which could impact the battery’s ability to fully recharge. When the bed is plugged back into an AC power outlet, battery power will be automatically restored. INDICATOR LED IS SOLID GREEN Bed is connected to an AC power outlet and operating on AC power. The battery is connected to the CB10 control box and is fully charged. Bed is ready to operate on battery power if required. This is the optimum operating condition for the bed. INDICATOR LED IS FLASHING GREEN Bed is connected to an AC power outlet and operating on AC power. The battery is connected to the CB10 control box but is currently recharging. INDICATOR LED IS ALTERNATING FLASHING GREEN AND RED IMPORTANT: Bed may not reliably operate on battery power if required. Bed is connected to an AC power outlet and operating on AC power. The battery is connected to the CB10 control box but not holding proper charge. Service bed and/or replace battery immediately. OR The battery is not connected to the CB10 control box. Connect battery to CB10 and allow battery to charge for 24hr. INDICATOR LED IS SOLID RED Bed is disconnected from an AC power outlet and is operating on battery power. The battery is connected to the CB10 control box and has not yet exhausted the available battery power. Bed is OK to operate on battery power but it should be connected to an AC power outlet as soon as is possible to recharge the battery. IMPORTANT: Exercise caution when operating the bed on battery power. Ensure that only vital and SPIRIT™ USER MANUAL - VERSION 04-2010
necessary bed functions are performed to extend battery power as long as possible and ensure emergency functions remain available when needed. INDICATOR LED IS FLASHING RED Bed is disconnected from an AC power outlet and has been operating on battery power. Although the battery is connected to the CB10 control box, it has exhausted its battery power. Reconnect bed to an AC power outlet as soon as possible and allow battery to charge for 24hr. IMPORTANT: At this point, reliable bed operation cannot be guaranteed although some bed functionality may still be available. Exercise caution operating the bed as the bed will cease operation without warning. NO INDICATOR LED ILLUMINATION IMPORTANT: Bed may NOT operate. The bed has been disconnected from an AC power outlet and the battery is disconnected from the CB10 control box. Reconnect bed to an AC power outlet and allow battery to charge for 24hr. OR The bed has a faulty connection or component (CB09 control box, CB10 control box, battery, and/ or connection cable). Confirm all connections and begin troubleshooting potentially faulty components. OR The bed has been disconnected from an AC power outlet and the battery has been automatically disengaged from the battery circuit because the voltage has dropped below 18VDC. Reconnect bed to an AC power outlet and allow battery to charge for 24hr. NOTE: In-house testing has demonstrated that a new back-up battery, when fully charged, has sufficient power to deliver the equivalent of approximately 5 CPR cycles with a patient weight of 20 Stone (120kgs) Battery power discharge rate depends upon factors such as patient weight, age of battery, ambient temperature and humidity, and the number of charge/discharge cycles the battery has been subjected to. For example, the heavier the patient, the faster battery power will be exhausted during battery powered bed operation. Conversely, the lighter the patient, battery power may offer a longer duration of battery powered bed operation.
