Installation Instructions

bed’s power cord is disconnected from AC wall power, the Patient Zone will be turned off and will remain off

while the bed is in transit. When the AC Line Power (ALP) Sensor senses that the power is disconnected,

the Bed Beacon will emit a beep and flash the red LED. When the bed’s power cord is plugged in again, the

Bed Beacon will emit a beep and flash the green LED.

3.3 Bed Beacon, Using Internal and External Antenna Mode (toggling back and forth

between the internal and external antenna)

*** 3 red flashes and beeps – operation mode 3

To set the mode, press and hold both range buttons down. Immediately, the Beacon will flash three (3)

times the green LED. With each flash, there will be an audible alert (beep). Continue to hold the range

buttons down while the bed beacon continues to cycle through the operation modes, until you reach three (3)

red LED flashes / 3 audible beeps. Release the range buttons to set.

In this mode, External Antenna ( Ecolab P/N: 92052232 ) is plugged into either RJ11 connector on the Bed

Beacon, and both the Bed Beacon and the External Antenna are attached to the bed. The patient zone is

created by alternating between the Internal and the External Antenna, allowing for extension of the patient

zone area. The Bed Beacon communicates with badges and the System network hubs. The AC Line Power

Sensor is connected to the Bed Beacon through the remaining RJ11 connector. The External Antenna is

connected to the Bed Beacon using the remaining RJ11 connector and is then also attached to the bed, in a

central location, as it will generate the patient zone. The Bed Beacon is then able to detect when the bed’s

AC power cord is connected to a wall outlet, causing the Bed Beacon to emit a beep and the LED to flash

green. If the bed’s power cord is disconnected from AC wall power, the Patient Zone will be turned off and

will remain off while the bed is in transit. When the AC Line Power (ALP) Sensor senses that the power is

disconnected, the Bed Beacon will emit a beep and flash the red LED. When the bed’s power cord is

plugged in again, the Bed Beacon will emit a beep and flash the green LED.

3.4 Stretcher Mode, using Internal Antenna Only

**** 4 red flashes and beeps – operation mode 4

“Stretcher Mode” is used when the Bed Beacon is mounted directly under a patient stretcher and there is no

AC Line Power Sensor connected to it. In stretcher mode, the Bed Beacon will always have the Patient

Zone “on”. To set the Bed Beacon mode, press and hold both range buttons down. Immediately, the

Beacon will flash three (3) times the green LED. With each flash, there will be an audible alert (beep).

Continue to hold the range buttons down while the bed beacon continues to cycle through the operation

modes, until you reach four (4) red LED flashes / 4 audible beeps. Release the range buttons to set.

3.5 Stretcher Mode, using External Antenna Only

***** 5 red flashes and beeps – operation mode 5

“Stretcher Mode using External Antenna” is used when the Bed Beacon and the External Antenna

( Ecolab P/N: 92052232 ) are both mounted directly under a patient stretcher and there is no AC Line Power

Sensor connected to the Bed Beacon. The External Antenna is connected to the Bed Beacon using the

remaining RJ11 connector and is then also attached to the bed, in a central location, as it will generate the

patient zone. In stretcher mode, the Bed Beacon will always have the Patient Zone “on”, but in this mode

the patient zone is created by the External Antenna only. To set the mode, press and hold both range buttons

down. Immediately, the Beacon will flash three (3) times the green LED. With each flash, there will be an

audible alert (beep). Continue to hold the range buttons down while the bed beacon continues to cycle
