Patient Safeguard System® Patient Bed Installation

When the Bed Beacon is mounted on a bed and connected to the Dock (via CBL1033), it can detect when the Bed Antenna
is connected or disconnected. When an AC activated AC Line Power Sensor is connected it will emit a beep and flash a
green LED. When the Bed Antenna is first connected to the Dock, the Bed Beacon will emit a beep and flash a green LED.
Disconnection of either will emit a beep and flash a red LED. Each time the state of the bed’s AC power or the Antenna
changes state the Bed Beacon will send a message over the Bentley network. If the bed’s power cord is disconnected from
AC wall power the patient zone will be turned off while the bed is in transit. When the ALP Sensor loses AC detection the
Bed Beacon will emit 2 beeps and flash 2 red LEDs. When the bed is brought back into the room and bed AC power is
restored the Bed Beacon will emit 2 beeps and flash 2 green LEDs. Each time any device is connected or disconnected from
the Dock/Bed Beacon, the Bed Beacon will send a message over the Bentley network.
4. Installation
4.1 Bed Beacon Installation
The Bed Beacon can be mounted directly to the frame of the bed itself (see Figure 3). It is also possible to mount the
Bed Beacon to a gurney, wheelchair or other transportable device that may be occupied by a patient. Instructions for
specific bed models are attached to the end of this document as appendixes.

Tape mounting
Mount the Bed Beacon on a metal surface or a transportable device with the supplied double-sided tape. Make sure
both the Bed Beacon and the mounting surface is clean and free of dirt and oil. A soft cloth dampened with
isopropyl alcohol works well to clean both surfaces. Most tape adhesives require about 24 hours of curing. Avoid
installing batteries into the Bed Beacon until the tape’s adhesive has had a chance to cure. Otherwise, the extra
weight may cause the Bed Beacon to detach from the mounted surface.
4.2 The Dock Installation
The Dock (see Figure 4) mounts directly to the patient bed and is connected to the Bed Beacon via a Din and small
square connectors. There are two (2) square connectors side by side on the Dock. The AC Line Power Sensor and the
Bed Antenna may be connected to either connector. Mount the Dock with the 2 square connectors facing the floor.
The Bed Beacon’s Din cable connects into the Dock, completing the connection from the Bed Antenna and AC Line
Power Sensor to the Bed Beacon.
