4.3 AC Line Power Sensor
The AC Line Power Sensor (see Figure 7) is strapped to the bed’s AC power cord approximately three (3)
inches from the bed cord’s power connector. The AC Line Power Sensor senses if the bed is connected to
AC power, and will activate or deactivate the Bed Beacon accordingly. The AC Line Power Sensor is
connected to the Bed Beacon. It mounts to bed’s power cord with two (2) cable ties. Make sure a service
loop is left in the AC Line Power Sensor’s cable run, allowing the bed to be raised and lowered. Note:
Stretchers are installed without the AC Line Power Sensor because they don’t have an AC power cord. In
stretcher mode; the stretcher field is continuously on.

Cable Tie mounting
Attach the AC Line Power Sensor to the patient bed’s AC power cord using 2 cable ties (see Figure 7). Use
cable tie holders for routing the wire to the Bed Beacon, and make sure the mounting surface is clean and
free of dirt and oil. A soft cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol works well to clean both surfaces.
5. Cable Management – Hill Rom VersaCare P3200
1. Place cable tie holders and cable ties, then route cable to the Bed Beacon as shown (see Figure 7, 8 & 9).
Make sure the mounting surfaces are clean and free of dirt and oil. A soft cloth dampened with isopropyl
alcohol works well to clean the mounting surfaces. Avoid routing cables near the bed’s patient fall detect
sensor IR beam path.
