Introduction
Chapter 1: Introduction
1 HiLow
The sleep surface of the AvantGuard® electric bed can be raised or lowered in order to position
the patient or when putting the patient in the bed or taking the patient out of the bed. The
column-based elevation system is also used to free space beneath the sleep surface. This
function can be used with the control pendant or the control unit on a flexible arm* (see figure
1-9 page 1-10) or the HiLow pedal* (see figure 1-7 page 1-10).
Press the Raise HiLow control to raise the sleep surface. Release when the required or maximum
2 height is reached.
Press the Lower HiLow control to lower the sleep surface. Release when the required or
minimum height is reached.
Detection of Bed not in low position
A light on the control pendant comes on as soon as the bed is no longer in the low position in
order to inform caregivers of the risks when the sleep surface is in the raised position (see User
Manual).

structure. These combined movements broaden the supporting surface, reduce hip pressure,
facilitate the patient's breathing by reducing abdominal pressure, limit the shearing forces and
provide stronger support for the head and neck.
Press the Raise HS control to raise the head section. Release when the required angle or
maximum elevation is reached.
Press the Lower HS control to lower the head section. Release when the required angle or the
low position is reached.
CPR
The AvantGuard® electric bed features a CPR function for the head section. The CPR control is
6 located in the middle section next to the LCU on both sides of the sleep surface (see figure 1-1
page 1-5). The handles built into the structure of the HS can be used to support the section when
the CPR function is used.
Using the head section CPR:
– Hold one side of the HS and pull on one of the yellow CPR handles.
– Pull and hold the CPR handle to control the downward movement.
Autocontour
Every AvantGuard® electric bed features a special function called the “autocontour”. This
function is used to automatically raise the thigh section of the bed to a given angle when the
5
head section is raised from its horizontal position, provided that the adjustable thigh section
function is not inhibited. This function prevents the patient from sliding towards the foot of the
bed when the head section is raised. This function can be used with the control pendant or the
control unit on a flexible arm (see figure 1-9 page 1-10).
6
Raise autocontour: the autocontour rises automatically when the Raise HS control is activated.
Lower autocontour: the autocontour lowers automatically when the Lower HS control is
activated. The thigh section is lowered once head section has reached the low position.
The autocontour function can be locked by inhibiting the ATS function using one of the LCUs.
If this function must be used subsequently, the ATS function must be enabled first (see figure 1-
9 page 1-10).

2 surface control on the control pendant or the control unit on a flexible arm. Release the control
when the required angle is reached or when the sections of the sleep surface are flat and the bed
is in the low position.

Introduction
Chapter 1: Introduction
1 Brakes
The AvantGuard® electric bed has a central braking system that is controlled by a single foot-
operated brake bar (see figure 1-1 page 1-5). Pressing the bar applies the brakes to all four
casters simultaneously.
NOTE:
The brake bar refers to both the brake bar and the steer bar.
To brake the bed, press on the brake bar with your foot so that it is inclined towards the ground.
2 To release the brake, raise the brake bar with your foot so that it is parallel with the ground. The
pedal remains slightly inclined downwards when released.
Standard steering
The AvantGuard® electric bed features a steering function for easier handling when moving the
bed or transferring a patient. The steering caster on the right-hand side at the head of the bed (as
seen by the patient) or on the left-hand side at the foot* of the bed can be locked in the
3 longitudinal axis of the bed by raising the brake bar. The bed can then be easily steered by
pushing on the headboard or the footboard (depending on the configuration).
To put the bed in the steering position, raise the brake bar with your foot so that it is inclined
upwards.
To remove the bed from the steering position, press on the brake bar with your foot so that it is
parallel with the ground. The pedal remains slightly inclined downwards when released.
NOTE:
4 The steering position is inoperative if the bed is fitted with a 5th wheel.
Hard surfaces
To remove and install the SS, FS and TS hard surfaces, refer to procedure 4.3 page 4-5.
To remove and install the HS hard surfaces, refer to procedure 4.4 page 4-6.
Casters
6 The AvantGuard® electric bed is fitted with four swivelling casters mounted on the chassis at
the four corners of the bed.
Bumpers
7 Bumpers are located at each of the four corners of the bed frame.

Position in the support provided on the head siderail.
Patient positioning indicator*
A triangle used to position the patient's hips can be found inside each TotalGuard™ head
siderail next to the articulations for the foot siderails (see figure 1-1 page 1-5).
Foot siderail supports*
• To raise a siderail support (see figure 1-1 page 1-5):
– Hold the support and tip upwards as far as possible. The support is secure when it
clicks into place.
• To lower a siderail support:
6
– Make sure that the corresponding foot siderail is folded. Hold the support with one
hand, while operating the release lever with the other. Then lower the support by
turning until it reaches the low position.

3 first lock.
– Press the second lock and rotate the siderail downwards into the low position and then
release the lock.
HiLow pedal*
The AvantGuard® electric bed can be fitted with a bilateral HiLow pedal that caregivers can use
to raise or lower the sleep surface and to switch on the caregiver mode.
4
Caregiver mode foot control*
The AvantGuard® electric bed can be fitted with a control pedal used by caregivers to switch on
the caregiver mode.
Battery backup*
The AvantGuard® electric bed can be equipped with a backup battery so that the bed operates
normally when being moved or in the event of a mains power failure.
5
“Bed connected to mains, brake not applied” detection*
The brake must always be applied when the bed is connected to the mains power supply. If this
it not the case, an audible signal sounds. This safety feature prevents the power cable from being
pulled out of the socket when the bed is moved. The signal stops when the brake is applied or
when the power cable is unplugged from the mains socket.
MobiBar® egress handles*
The AvantGuard® electric bed can be fitted with egress handles that patients can use to get out
6
of the bed. The handles can be retracted so that they do not get in the way of caregivers when
not in use.
To use the egress handles, lift and turn the egress bar towards the head of the bed. The handle is
secure when it clicks into place.
To stow the egress handles, grip the handle and unlock it by pulling outwards away from the
bed. Turn the handle and place under the sleep surface.

Introduction
Chapter 1: Introduction
5th wheel with controlled operation*
The 5th wheel system facilitates the movement of the AvantGuard® electric bed by providing a
central steering wheel under the chassis.
1
The wheel is activated and deactivated using the brake bar.
To lock the 5th wheel in the transfer position, raise the brake bar with your foot so that it is
inclined upwards. Point the bed in the direction of movement and move lengthways. The 5th
wheel automatically locks into position.
To release the 5th wheel from the transfer position and enable sideways movements, place the
brake bar in the horizontal position. The 5th wheel is automatically released. 2
Extension*
The extension of the AvantGuard® electric bed is designed for tall patients. The overall length
of the bed can be significantly increased by sliding the foot section along the guide rails. An
extension cushion , which is available as an accessory, can be used to extend the mattress when
the extension is deployed.
There are two possible positions (retracted/deployed).
To deploy the extension, lift the handle at the foot of the bed and pull on the extension. Check
3
that it clicks firmly into place.
To retract the extension, lift the same handle and push the extension. Check that it clicks firmly
into place.
Linen holder*
The AvantGuard® electric bed can be fitted with a linen holder that slides away under the FS.
Once deployed, the linen holder can be used to hold sheets and blankets when making the bed.
The safe working load is 15 kg.
4
To deploy the linen holder, pull on the tray under the footboard, then turn the metal stop towards
you.
To store the linen holder, repeat the above steps in reverse order.
Accessory support bar*
The AvantGuard® electric bed can be fitted with two accessory support bars (Hill-Rom
accessories, drainage bags, etc.) that are positioned under the sleep surface in the middle of the
5
bed. The bars slide towards the middle or the edge of the bed.
Medical device support bar*
The AvantGuard® electric bed can be fitted with two medical device support bars that are
positioned under the sleep surface in the middle of the bed. The position and movements are the
6
same as those of the accessory support bars.

1 Electric description
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD:
Users of this equipment are potentially exposed to electric shocks. Always train staff of
the risks inherent in electrical equipment.
The electric circuit is mechanically isolated from the metal parts of the bed.
Power supply
2 The AvantGuard® electric bed is fitted with electric actuators for the AHS, ATS, AFS* and HL
functions that are powered by a common power supply.
The PSU works at 230 V AC or 120 V AC* or 100 V AC* (tolerances: see table 3-4 page 3-12)
and can be equipped with a 24 V DC* backup battery. This battery can be used to operate the
bed's functions when the mains power supply is not available. A special alarm sounds when the
battery is low. This alarm sounds when the battery mode is selected and one of the bed's
functions is used. When the alarm sounds, remember to connect the bed to the mains power
Control unit
Control pendant*
4 Functions can be controlled using the control pendant, which also provides operating
information. The control pendant operates at very low safety voltage and features all of the
buttons and indicator lights required to control the bed (except battery low). The control pendant
can be connected to the back of the LCU on the left-hand or right-hand side of the sleep surface
and can be easily stowed in the siderails. Two models are available, depending on the bed
model. Provided that the functions are not inhibited, they are available to caregivers and patients
(except T/RT, EasyChair® and CPR). Several functions can be used at the same time.

Power-driven actuators
CAUTION:
1
The usage cycle of the actuators in intermittent use must not exceed 3 min/30 min.
Otherwise, the equipment may be damaged.
Three separate actuators are used for the AHS, ATS, AFS (1400 only) functions and two power-
driven columns operate the HL function. They are all designed to withstand the risks of ingress
2
of liquids under normal conditions of use. These power-driven actuators are powered by a
nominal voltage of 24 V DC and are equipped with a connector for easy disconnection in the
event of a problem.
All movements can only be made by pressing and holding the button of the corresponding
function. There are no automatic movements. Depending on the function, a button corresponds
to the movement of one or more motors.

Chapter 3: Theory of operation
Technical description.
The operation of the AvantGuard® Electric Bed can be split into two subsystems :
• Mechanical
• Electrical
The interaction between these subsystems is used to make all the movements of the bed.
The electrical functions are driven by low voltage motors.
Each of the subsystems is described separately in the following paragraphs. The operating
diagrams are at the beginning of the chapter.
2
Mechanical description
The mechanical subsystem consists of two connected systems :
3
• Chassis
• Sleep surface
4
mechanism at one end that drives the hard surface using special notches.

Mechanical description
Chapter 3: Theory of operation
1 Casters
The bed is fitted with four casters (three brake casters and one brake and steering caster), each
with a 30° inclination control mechanism and three positions:
• Brake caster: Brake/Neutral/Neutral positions
• Steering caster: Brake/Neutral/Steering positions
The standard casters can be replaced with anti-static brake casters. They are always fitted in
2 pairs when this function is installed and are identified by a yellow dot on the tread (single band)
or in the centre of each caster (double band). They are located on the left (if the steering caster is
on the right hand of the head end) or on the right of the sleep surface (if the steering caster is on
the left hand of the foot end).
Brakes
The brake system consists of four brake casters controlled by two hexagonal bars with a
connecting bar situated in the right-hand cross member of the chassis. The brake bar is directly
Standard steering
The steering caster is positioned on the right, as seen by the patient, at the head of the bed or on
the left at the foot of the bed, depending on the destination. This caster is also controlled by the
brake bar.
5 • The lower articulation of the mobile part, in combination with a gas-powered actuator, is
used to pass the thresholds without provoking any movement of the bed that may cause
discomfort for the patient.
NOTE:
If the 5th steering wheel with controlled operation is installed as standard, all four casters are
identical and there is no standard steering caster. This function is incompatible with 125 mm-
diameter casters.

the centre of the sleep surface. The latter action slides the catch in its support, which is
designed to prevent accidental release.
• Each foot siderail is clicked into place on the corresponding head siderail by a system of
injected plastic clips that allow for rotational movement. The siderail can only be clipped or
unclipped when the foot siderail is folded away on the head siderail.
• The metal supports are made up of three articulated arms: one central arm and two side
arms.
3
The siderails and supports form a solid assembly.
4
Plastic headboard and footboard*
The headboard and footboard are made of extruded/blow-moulded plastic with chrome-plated
steel clasps for assembly and have decorative trim panels.
Plastic lockable footboard*
The lockable footboard is secured to the bed by a system of screws with a gear knob that is used
to tighten and loosen manually.
Headboard and footboard with wooden trim*
The headboard and footboard are made of decorative and wooden panels with chrome-plated 5
steel clasps for assembly.

This power supply stage includes a protective device against electrostatic discharges (ESD) of
20 KV.
Function control
The motors are controlled by relays. In order to protect these relays from electrical arcing during
switching, an FET transistor that is series-mounted with all the outputs checks the power after a
delay when a function is activated, allowing the relays to switch off. Similarly, when a function
control is released, this FET transistor cuts off the power before the contact switch opens.
Overload limitation: overload is limited by permanently checking the current at each motor
5
output. In the event of overload or mechanical jamming, the power supply of the motor is cut by
the control transistor without impacting the other motors, except in special cases. In these cases,
the overload is indicated by an audible alarm. The current check is also used to detect faults in
the motor EOT, apart from for the HL columns that have a second safety EOT.

1 Battery circuit
The bed can be equipped with backup battery and/or a backup battery for the “Shock” function.
These batteries are included inside the PSU. The “Shock” function battery can only be used for
this particular function. The common charging circuit in the power supply unit has a current
limiter, according to the level of the battery charge. Charging begins as soon as the unit is
connected to AC power. At the end of charging, the load current is very low.
When the power supply unit is disconnected from the mains, the battery backup is activated by
pressing the “Activate Battery” button on the control pendant.
2 An audible battery low alarm buzzer sounds and an indicator light flashes during movement if
the battery voltage drops (a continuous beep lasting a few seconds each time a control is
pressed).
Once the bed is connect to the mains, this indicator light continues to flash as long as the battery
is not charged.
Operation on the battery is automatically inhibited about 30 seconds after the end of the last
controlled movement.

1. The “Shock” function battery is only included if the bed is equipped with the “Shock” function AND the backup
battery.
Control pendant*
Two models of the control pendant are available, depending on the bed model. Each unit is
5
powered by a 3.3 V DC supply from the power supply PCB and includes three main functions.
• Filter and amplification of input signals for electrostatic protection and signal forming.
• Multiplexing for button management.
• Demultiplexing for indicator light management.
The button and indicator light data are serial transmitted (SPI) in order to reduce the number of
conductors. The timeclock signal used for the data exchanges is generated by the power PCB.
6
All of these data are transmitted in a few tenths of milliseconds. When the system is in standby
mode, the power supply is cut and the timeclock signal is no longer generated. The battery mode
button is then directly connected and remains operational at all times.

Chapter 3: Theory of operation
Motor control
The motors are powered by the power supply unit. The end positions are detected by the series-
mounted, upper and lower internal EOTs. The EOTs directly cut off the power supply of the HS,
TS and FS. The TS and FS motors also have an internal intermediate contact to control the
autocontour and “EasyChair” positions.
The two HL columns also have internal upper and lower EOTs. Each EOT also has a safety
mechanism at each extremity. If one of the safety EOTs is activated, then the column cannot be
used. The other functions remain operational.
WARNING:
2
The column must be replaced when one of the safety EOTs is activated or the internal
mechanism is defective. The column must not be dismantled under any circumstances.
Disregarding this caution may compromise the safety of the patient or users.
In addition to the EOTs, the “Overload limit” function of the PSU also provides protection in the
3
event of mechanical failure, obstacles or overload.
Autocontour
The PSU checks the autocontour function of the bed (AHS and ATS). This function is
performed using an intermediate contact of the ATS motor. 4
When the Raise HS function is activated while in the horizontal position, the head section and
thigh section simultaneously rise until the internal EOT contact of the ATS motor cuts its power
at an angle of approximately 20°. The AHS motor continues to operate until it reaches its upper
EOT or until the control is released.
When the Lower HS function is activated and the corresponding section reaches the lowered
position, the ATS motor operates in descent mode until it reaches its lower EOT or until the
control is released. 5
NOTE:
If the Lower HS button is released before the TS reaches the lowered position, the autocontour
function is switched off. The TS must then be lowered using the Lower TS function.
EasyChair®* function
This function combines movements of the bed frame sections and uses the internal intermediate
contacts of the TS and FS motors to control the interaction between the two sections. 6

1 “Shock” function*
When the “Shock” function is switched on using the button on the caregiver LCU, the PSU
simultaneously places the HS, TS and FS in the flat position and moves the sleep surface to the
Trendelenburg position. Both columns are activated until the maximum Trendelenburg position
is reached, as long as the controls are on. The movement stops once the EOTs are reached. The
special battery means that this function can be used when no mains power supply is available.
This battery is independent of the backup battery. However, the battery charge circuit is
common.
Trendelenburg/Reverse Trendelenburg*
3 This fully electric function is only available to caregivers. This function is accessed using the
Caregiver mode on the caregiver LCU and is activated using the control unit. The two HL
columns are actuated in the opposite direction from the required position, irrespective of the
initial height and position of the sleep surface. The two columns continue to move as long as
one of the two buttons remains pressed, until the internal EOT are reached. The maximum angle
can be reached as long as mains power or battery backup is available.
NOTE:
4 The warranty is automatically annulled if any electrical component of the bed is opened, apart
from if the cover of the power supply unit is opened by an authorised person.
