Set–Up Procedures
SET–UP PROCEDURES
It is important that the 2020 Renaissance Series Critical Care Bed is working properly before it is put into
service. The following list will help assure that each part of the bed is tested.
SDepress the curved pedal at either end of the bed fully to set the four wheel brakes and assure all
four casters lock. Lift the pedal to the neutral position to release the brakes.
SLift the pedal and assure the steering caster locks at the foot end of the bed (on the patient’s right
side only). Depress the pedal fully to set the brakes.
SAssure the bed will lower to the full down position by depressing both pedals at the foot end of the
bed.
SRaise the bed to the full up position by pumping the pedal identified by the ”bed up” label on the base
hood. Assure the head end lowers to the full down position by depressing the pedal identified by the
Trendelenberg (head down) label.
SDepress the pedal identified by the Reverse Trendelenberg (foot down) label and assure the foot end
lowers to the full down position.
SRaise the bed to the full up position. Pivot the manual override Fowler crank up into position. Push
in the crank and hold it in while turning it clockwise to raise the Fowler. Assure it will raise to at least
90 degrees. Hold the crank in and turn it counterclockwise to lower the Fowler. Assure it will lower to
flat.
SPivot the manual override Knee Gatch crank up into position. Push in the crank and hold it in while
turning it clockwise to raise the Knee Gatch. Assure it will raise to 35 degrees. Hold the crank in and
turn it counterclockwise to lower the Knee Gatch. Assure it will lower to flat.
SAssure the siderails raise and lower smoothly and lock in the up and intermediate positions.
SPlug the bed into a properly grounded, hospital grade wall receptacle. Assure the ”BED ON” light on
the foot end keypad comes on.
WARNING
The 2020 is equipped with a hospital grade plug for protection against shock hazard. It must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three–prong receptacle. Grounding reliability can be achieved only when a
hospital grade receptacle is used.
SPush the scale system On/Off/Reset switch (under the foot end frame end, next to the function lock-
out switches) away from you to turn on the weigh system (see page 5 for diagram).
SRun through each function on the head end and foot end control panels and assure that each is work-
ing properly (see control panel guide page 9 and weigh system control panel guide page 12 & 13).
SAssure all functions are working properly on the patient controls or the in–rail nurse controls, if the
bed is equipped with them.

Operation Guide
LED DISPLAY
There is an optional LED display to show the angle of the Fowler and the angle of Trendelenberg/Reverse
Trendelenberg. The Fowler display lights will change as the Fowler is moved electrically by pressing the control panel button or manually by cranking. The bed must be plugged into a wall socket for the display lights
to work. The Fowler display is for 15 degree increments only . The Trendelenberg display lights will change
whenever the angle of T rendelenberg/Reverse Trendelenberg is changed electrically by pressing the control
panel button or manually by depressing the pedals. Again, the bed must be plugged in for the lights to work.
The Trendelenberg display is for 4 degree increments only.
FUNCTION LOCKOUT/SCALE SYSTEM ON/OFF/RESET
Under the foot end keypad, there are seven lockout switches. These switches are identified with symbols
(see below). Pull the switch toward you to individually lock out bed up/down, Fowler, Knee Gatch, Trendelenberg/Reverse Trendelenberg, cardiac chair (optional) and the patient controls (optional). If the keypad button
is pressed for a function that is locked out, a horn will sound and the bed will not respond. The seventh switch
at the far right of the group is the scale system on/off/reset switch. It is used to reset the scale system if an
unusual symbol or character is displayed on the scale monitor or if the scale system operates in any other
erratic manner. It will not clear the bed zero information stored in the scale system memory.
CARDIAC CHAIR
To activate the optional Cardiac Chair function, press and hold the button on the foot end control panel. The
Knee Gatch will raise, the Fowler will raise or lower to 51 degrees and the bed will tilt to –12 degrees Reverse
Trendelenberg. Release the button to stop bed movement: hold the button until movement stops to complete
the function.
EMERGENCY DROP
To activate the optional Emergency Drop function, press and hold the ”ON” button on the foot end control
panel for two seconds. The bed will level from Trendelenberg/Reverse Trendelenberg, the Fowler will lower
to flat, the Knee Gatch will lower to flat and the litter will lower to full down. Press the ”OFF” button when the
function is complete.
NOTE
Both the Cardiac Chair and the Emergency Drop functions are stopped by safety switches if there is an obstruction under the Fowler or Knee Gatch. To start Cardiac Chair after clearing the obstruction, press the
function button again. To start Emergency Drop after clearing the obstruction, press the start button again.
EMERGENCY STOP
Pressing the Emergency Stop button on the head end control panel will interrupt any downward motion.
Emergency Stop overrides both control panels and the patient or in–rail nurse controls.
