The board is controlled by a microcontroller and controls the motors by
relays. In order to protect these relays from electrical arcing during switching,
an FET transistor that is common to all the outputs checks the power after a
delay when a function is activated, allowing the relays to switch off.
The input voltage of the motors is rectified and filtered. The input voltage of
the PCBs is rectified, filtered and regulated.

NOTE: prevent damaging the components.
Before replacing a part on the bed, check that the new part performs the same
functions and that the safety of the bed will not be affected. Using parts that
are not included in the list of spares renders the warranty conditions null and
void.
NOTE:
When re-installing, it is advisable to use the new parts contained in the
replacement kit.
NOTE:

The time shown at the start of each procedure is an estimate under optimal
operating conditions.
ENTRAPMENT WARNING:
The current flows through the connectors when the bed is switched on. Staff
may be injured if the bed is not disconnected from the power supply when
working on an electric part.

CAUTION:

Only the power cables referred to in the spare parts catalog should be used
with the Hill-Rom® 900 Accella™ electric bed. Using other cables may
compromise the compliance and safety of the bed.

NOTE:
The weights must be positioned with care. Wear protective gloves made of
white material with a rubber coating when handling the rust-proof weights. In
the case of inadvertent skin contact with the weight or if there are any visual
signs of dirt, wipe down the weights with window cleaner and a nonabrasive
cloth. If the weights have been dropped or appear to be damaged, inform the
supervisor or quality manager.
