! for the motorised adjustment of moveable bed parts using original DEWERT fittings
and accessories.

The MBXL drive control unit is not intended for use ...
! in the proximity high-frequency surgical equipment and defibrillators,
! in an environment where inflammable or explosive gases or vapours
(e.g. anaesthetics) are likely to occur,
! in a damp environment, i.e. outdoors nor in beds intended for cleaning in wash
tunnels

Caution!
In the case of the CARE/CARE L versions only the standards expressly listed in the
Additional Information (Page 21/22) have been correspondingly applied. In as far as
standards/requirements to the end product must take additional measures to ensure
that these are met.

2. Prerequisites
The installation steps described in these instructions must be performed by a fully trained
electrical engineer.
! This being the case, you should never carry out this work yourself unless you are
a qualified electrical engineer or
! you should entrust this work to suitably qualified persons only.

Conformity according to EC Directives

The drive system is supplied ex factory as a machine not ready for use in accordance with
the EC "Machines" Directive. In other words, you may not put the drive system into operation
until you have met the safety objectives of the "Machines" Directive and issued a
corresponding Declaration of Conformity!
The drive system meets the safety objectives of the EC Directives concerning "Low
voltage" and "Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMV)".

MBXL
The drive system/the drive control unit is not a medical product - for installing into same,
manufacture in conformity with the EC Directive for "Medical Products" or other regulations
is the responsibility of the manufacturer of the end product. For this purpose, in the case
of the CARE/CARE L drive systems, DEWERT has additionally applied, fully or partially, a
number of standards from the medical products sector, in order to facilitate use in medical
products, e.g.
EN 60601-1 Safety of Electromedical Equipment (CARE/CARE L version only)
EN 60601-1-2 Electronicmagnetic Compatibility of Electromedical Equipment
(CARE/CARE L version only)
EN 60601-2-38 Safety of Hospital Beds (CARE/CARE L version only)
EN 1970 Adjustable Beds for the Disabled (CARE/CARE L version only)

Caution!
For your own safety!
The MBXL CARE/CARE L versions with the handset type: MEDIX are "first error safe"
and only then provided the functions to be safeguarded are blocked on the blocking
device. Please bear this in mind
! on designing the construction of beds for areas where the occurrence of
unintentional movements must not prove harmful or hazardous.

The MBXL CARE/CARE L versions with the handset type: IPROXX are also "first error
safe" without the blocking device (e.g. locking device, supervisor or IPROXX SE).

Shutdown in an emergency is achieved by pulling out the mains plug! The mains plug
must therefore be accessible at all times when the system is in operation to ensure it can be
quickly pulled out of the wall socket in an emergency.

Avoid subjecting the mains connection lead to mechanical loads. Regular visual checks of the
mains connection lead should be carried out at short-term intervals and in particular each time
it has been subjected to a mechanical load.

If the mains connection lead of the MBXL drive control unit gets damaged, it must be
replaced in order to prevent hazards. Work to and replacement of the mains connection
lead may only be carried out by specialist personnel holding the qualifications
described on page 3 or by persons who have taken part and successfully completed
the corresponding training programmes offered by DEWERT.
In the Operating Instructions to be drawn up by yourselves, it is essential that you draw the
operators attention to the points mentioned here.

b) Electrical connection
In the Operating Instructions to be issued by you, point out to the operator that if leads, in
particular the mains connection lead, are driven over they could sustain damage.
Mechanical loads should also be avoided.

When routing the cables make sure that they

"
cannot get entangled or trapped,
"
are not subjected to mechanical loads (i e. do not pull, apply pressure or bend),
"
cannot get damaged in any other way.

Make sure that the cables, in particular the mains connection lead, are fastened to the bed
with adequate strain relief and kink protection and that suitable constructional measures
prevent the mains connection lead from trailing on the floor when the bed is being
moved.

First connect the slave drives and controls, as shown (see page 16). Make sure that any

There is a fault/first error in the integral blocking device,

" if the mode LED glows in the blocked state
" if the mode LED does not glow in the released state
" if on pressing an adjustment key in the blocked state (mode LED) a change in the
light intensity (mode LED) is visible

Passing the enclosed magnet over the lock symbols magnet, blocks or releases the
adjustment keys. The released state is indicated by the mode LED glowing. Check the
blocked adjustment keys (mode LED does not glow) by pressing the corresponding
adjustment key on the handset. The drive should be immobilized.

Note: keep the handset away from magnetic objects and strong magnetic fields (>= 1 mT).
The integral blocking device can be activated or deactivated.

Further information on trouble-shooting can be found on page 17.

c) Locking device (Example)

Blocking switch
blocked released

Backrest blocked

Foot rest blocked

Stroke motors blocked

Example of a locking device with 3 blocking

switches and 2 adjustment keys

Adjustment keys for the Trendelenburg-

Function

To guarantee first error security, you can block the drive movements via the locking device:
" Turn the blocking switch to the "blocked" position.
" Check that the function is blocked by pressing the corresponding adjustment key
on the handset. The drive should be immobilized.
" If movement is carried out, the drive system must be replaced immediately.

When using a handset of the IPROXX type, first-error security can be guaranteed
without any additional blocking device.

The locking device features the same pictographs as on the handset, i.e. the depicted
function is blocked by the blocking switch. Blocking is symbolized by a closed shackle lock.
Furthermore, the locking device in the CARE/CARE L versions features up to 3 adjustment
keys which by way of example (depending on the version) can initiate Trendelenburg or
other functions.

Blocking the other functions is possible by blocking the backrest, foot rest and/or the stroke
motors (height adjustment).

d) Supervisor CARE/HOSP (Example)

Blocking switch

Adjustment keys

Release key

Example of a supervisor with 3 blocking

buttons and 3 adjustment functions

Trendelenburg

The supervisor control system gives the care staff over the MBXL drive control system in the
CARE versions.

To ensure first error security, proceed as follows:

" Turn the blocking switch to the "blocked" position.
" Check that the function is blocked by pressing the corresponding adjustment key
on the handset. The drive should be immobilized.
" If movement is carried out, the drive system must be replaced.

When using a handset of the IPROXX type, first-error security can be guaranteed
without any additional blocking device.

The supervisor allows the bed to be adjusted as well as the adjustment functions
to be blocked. The supervisor has been designed as a two-hand control, thereby
making it impossible to actuate adjustment inadvertently. It is only possible to
initiate adjustment via key provided one of the two release keys, represented by
the symbol on the left, has been pressed.

e) Maintenance and Repairs
At regular intervals carry out the inspections in accordance with the BGV A2 (Instruction of
the Professional Trade Association). The inspections must be performed by an electrical
specialist.
The recommended inspection period in accordance with the BGV A2 is: 6 months

In addition to the above, the following checks should be carried out at shorter intervals:

! Regular visual checks for damage of all kinds

Check the housing for cracks and fractures and the mains connection leads,
handset leads and drive leads for signs of pinching and shearing-off. Also check
the strain relief with kink protection, in particular after each case of mechanical
loading.

! Regular checks of the protective conductor resistance and leakage currents

(by a specialist)

! Regular functional checks of the auto diagnostic system

Check the handset functions, as described on pages 10 and 11.
