6.2 The Bed Installation Does Not Communicate with a Badge
If a Bed Installation is not communicating with Badges but is sending heartbeats to the dashboard, there are a number
of possible causes. The following steps will help to find the cause of the problem.
6.3 Bed Beacon FAS1538
1. Verify that the bed’s AC power cord is plugged into an active power source and ALP Sensor is connected to the
bed’s power cord and Dock.
2. Unplug the Dock connector from the Bed Beacon. Within two seconds the Beacon should flash 2 red LEDs and
2 beeps. If this does not happen, try plugging in a known good Antenna, if within 2 seconds the Beacon
flashes a green LED and beeps, the first Antenna has become defective and needs to be replaced.
3. Unplug the Bed Dock. Within two seconds the Beacon should flash 2 red LEDs and 2 beeps. If this does not
happen try plugging in a known good Dock. Connect the Bed Antenna to the good Dock, then connect the Bed
Beacon. The Bed Beacon should flash a green LED and beep within 2 seconds of plugging it into the Dock. If
this happens, the first Dock has become defective and needs to be replaced.
4. Disconnect the CBL1033 cable (the cable that runs in between the Bed Beacon and the Dock). Connect a
known good CBL1033 cable to the Dock, then connect the other end of the cable to the Bed Beacon. The Bed
Beacon should flash 2 green LEDs and 2 beeps. If this happens the CBL1033 cable has become defective and
needs to be replaced. If the Bed Beacon does not respond when the known good cable is installed, the Bed
Beacon is defective and needs to be replaced.
Note: If any of the components of the Bed Installation are replaced, the bed’s range will have to be re-checked and
re-adjusted as needed.
7. System Component Care and Maintenance
7.1 Cleaning the Components
The components should be cleaned by wiping with a soft cloth. The cloth should be damp but not wet. A soft cloth
dampened with isopropyl alcohol works well to clean the external surfaces. Only the exterior of the components may
be cleaned. Do not attempt to clean any interior surface of these components as this will damage the component’s
circuitry. Do not use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products in aerosol cans as they will damage the component’s finish.
7.2 Handling the Bed Beacon
The Bed Beacon is an electronic device and should be handled with care. Like other electronic devices such as cell
phones, the Bed Beacon must be protected from extreme heat, cold and moisture. Avoid handling the Bed Beacon
with wet hands or exposing it to rain. Avoid dropping or tossing the Bed Beacon. The shock can damage the Beacon’s
sensitive internal electronics.
7.3 Battery Replacement
Bed Beacon is powered by 2 “D” Cell Alkaline Batteries. Avoid reverse polarity by installing the batteries as indicated.
