Chapter 2: Installation and Service Checkout

2.1 Installation

The OmniBed is shipped with the canopy in the locked down position. Before the canopy can be raised the
rail shipping locks must be released. They are located in both sides of the OmniBed near the outside bottom
of the uprights. An orange tear-away label marks their location. The lock consists of a socket head cap
screw in a slot. Tightening the screw disengages the screw head from the slot and releases the lift rail.
Using the 4 mm hex key provided with the device, turn the screw clockwise about 8 rotations until the screw
securely seats in its hole. Remove the tear away label. Perform all steps in Chapter 2 Installation and Service
Checkout including the pre-use checkout as indicated.
For units shipped with the Servo Oxygen option, the Oxygen Cells are shipped separately and must be
installed at the time of product installation. Be sure to complete the procedures in "Installing Oxygen
Sensors" on page 7-60 before performing the Servo Oxygen portions of the Service Checkout procedures in
this section of this document.
When mounted to the Carestation unit, electrically powered accessories must be plugged in using the IEC
accessory outlets provided on the back of the Carestation unit. During installation, it is necessary to remove
the plug retaining bracket. Be sure to install the plug retaining bracket as shown in "Power Cord Condition"
on page 2-2 of this document.
