hi and welcome to this training video
for troubleshooting the easy care bed
frame the objective for this lesson is
to demonstrate ways for troubleshooting
the easy care bed frame in order to
isolate the failure and ensure the
correct fix is made within this lesson
we will troubleshoot the control box
motors and staff control in addition we
will look at proper bracket installation
and other helpful tips that will make
your easy care bed perform exactly as it
was designed to do what do you do when a
bed fails to articulate at one single
point the easy care series has four
motors that are all controlled within
the control box which is where our
troubleshooting will begin and end if a
motor fails to operate then the problem
either stems from a bad motor or faulty
wiring within the control box to isolate
the problem trace the line running from
the motor to the control box or simply
look in the users manual which lists
where each line is running the control
harness is green and additional plugs
that go in the control box include the
emergency battery pack and AC power we
will first test to see if the problem
stems from one of the motors or if the
problem is within the control box begin
by unplugging the bed then remove the
cover on the control box and this can
easily be done with a screwdriver next
let's test the circuit to see if it is
working to do this unplug one of the
motors that is working correctly and
place it in the outlet that is failing
to operate this process will help to
diagnose whether the motor is bad or if
the circuit within the control box is
what is causing the problem if the motor
fails when it is plugged into another
out
the problem is with the motor but if it
works then the motor is good and the
trouble stems from within the control
box you can test any motor in either of
the two high-low ports but if you test
the high-low motors they can only be
tested properly in another high-low port
to replace the control box you will need
to disconnect all four motors control
harness battery cable and AC power cord
to disconnect the battery cable use a
screwdriver to push down on the red tab
and pull out on the core to release the
tabs to remove the auxilary battery
cable
pop the c-clamp up using a screwdriver
and unplug the cable then remove the
c-clip from the motor and slide the
control box off of the motor when it's
time to reinstall the control box simply
slide it back on the frame and secure
the c-clip to the motor begin by
plugging in the battery cable and secure
it with a smaller c-clip then plug in
the AC power cord and all four motors
into the control box if you need to
replace one of the high/low motors raise
the bed to its highest position if
possible and unplug the power cord from
the wall outlet remove the head and foot
panels so that the frame can be tipped
onto its side using the needlenose
pliers remove the rulings and slide the
clevis pins out of each end of the
actuator taking note of the orientation
of these pins as they must be
reinstalled in the same direction the
discard used Roux rings and clevis pins
you will then need to disconnect the
cable running to the control box if the
staff control is not functioning
properly then it could be one of three
things either the staff control itself
is faulty
or the cable running from the staff
control is faulty or the problem resides
within the control box when checking the
staff control first ensure that the
staff control panel has not been damaged
if nothing is visibly damaged than the
electronics running from the control box
they will need to be checked to do this
disconnect the wires running to the
staff control and simply swap the panel
with another one at your facility
if the swap staff control works then the
problem is with the circuit board which
will need to be replaced however if you
swap the foot panels and still nothing
works then you will need to check the
patch cord which runs to the staff
control if that checks out fine then the
only thing left is the control box which
will need to be replaced the foot and
head brackets can be placed incorrectly
on the head and foot boards therefore
let's review the correct steps for
placing both of these brackets first lay
the panel on a soft surface the head
panel bracket is the longer of the two
sizes then align the top two holes with
the bracket the bracket offset should
face up use the four screws to install
the brackets do not tighten until after
fitting the mounting brackets into the
bed sockets repeat the same process with
the foot bracket panels panels should
slip in and out of their sockets easily
well that concludes this training video
thank you all very much
