Patient Safeguard System® Patient Bed Installation
UltraClenz, LLC
Page 7
The Patient Bed installation is comprised of three main components. The first component is the Bed beacon which is used
to create a zone around the patient bed and controls the zone around a patient bed. The second component is the AC Line
Power Sensor that senses when bed is connected or disconnected from AC power. The third component is the Bed Mount
which the Bed Beacon clips onto.

3. PSS Patient Bed Installation Functions
The Bed Beacon works with the internal antenna to create a zone around a patient bed, referred to as the patient zone.
When a healthcare worker (HCW) wearing a Badge enters the zone, the Bed Beacon wirelessly communicates with the
Badge and lets the Badge know that it has entered the zone around a specific patient bed. The Bed Beacon will emit an
audible beep and flash a green LED when it has successfully communicated with the Badge. If communications with the
Badge are successful the Bed Beacon then sends information about its interaction with the Badge to the server via the
Bentley wireless network. For more information about how the Badge will react to being in the patient zone, please read
the document Patient Safeguard System® Healthcare Worker Badge User’s Guide (DOC1046).
Figure 2. Bed Beacon Details
When the Bed Beacon is mounted on a bed and connected to the AC Line Power Sensor through the RJ11 jacks, it detects
when the bed is connected to the wall outlet. This will cause the Bed Beacon to emit a beep and flash a green LED. Each
time the state of the bed’s AC power 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 1 beep and flash 1 red LED. When the bed is brought back into
the room and bed AC power is restored the Bed Beacon will emit 1 beep and flash 1 green LED. Each time any device is
connected or disconnected from the Bed Beacon, the Bed Beacon will send a message over the Bentley network.
