Safety Instructions
Chapter 1: Introduction

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Train and educate your staff on the hazards associated with electric beds. Do not allow persons to have
their entire body below the sleep surface and within the confines of the bed. Unplug the bed from its
power source, and put the lockout switch in the locked position before you clean or service the bed. If
service persons need to get under the bed, they must block up the hilow portion as an added
precaution. Make sure that the foot section is correctly mounted to the yoke.
We urge you to incorporate these safety tips into your procedures for the safety of both patients and
staff.

B ED P OSITION
To reduce the severity of falls by patients, always leave the bed in the low position when the patient is
unattended.

S IDERAILS
Leave the siderails fully up and locked when the patient is left unattended. When you raise the siderails,
be sure that you hear the click that signals the up and locked condition. Gently pull on the siderails to
make sure that they are firmly in position.
Siderails are intended as a reminder, not a restraint device. Appropriate medical persons should
determine the level of restraint necessary to make sure that a patient remains safely in bed.

B RAKE AND S TEER P EDALS

Always keep the casters in the brake position when the bed is occupied. Patients often use the bed for
support when getting in or out of bed, and serious injuries can result if the bed moves. After brakes are
set, rock the bed gently to make sure that they are locked.
Put the casters in the steer position when you move the bed. This will make the bed easier to put in
position or transport.

F LUIDS
When massive spills occur in the area of the P.C. boards, motors, or transformers, immediately:
1. Unplug the bed from its power source.
2. Take care of the patient.
3. Clean the fluid from the bed.
4. Have maintenance examine the bed completely. Fluids can short out controls, which can make the
bed inoperable or cause the bed to operate erratically. Component failure caused by fluids can even
cause the bed to operate without warning, and cause injury.
5. Do not put the bed back into service until it is unquestionably dry and tested safe to operate.

WARNING:
Warning—Some safety features of the bed may not function or may not operate as intended with
mattresses that are not designed specifically for this bed. Check with the mattress manufacturer to
make sure that the safety features of the bed have been tested and verified to operate correctly with the
replacement mattress. Failure to do so could cause serious personal injury or equipment damage.
NOTE:
Baxter recommends the use of Baxter mattresses that have been designed and tested specifically for the
bed. If you purchase a replacement mattress from Baxter or another manufacturer, make sure that the
safety features of the bed have been tested and verified to operate correctly with the replacement
mattress. The replacement mattress should meet the applicable regulations and technical standards to
minimize the risk of injury to patients and caregivers.
For the latest list of mattresses, please contact Customer Service.

WATER M ATTRESS
We do not recommend the use of a water mattress on this bed.

L OCKOUT S WITCH
Whenever a patient or visitor should be restricted from operating the siderail controls, activate the
lockout switch located at the head end of the bed (on the main frame). The lockout switch is for the
convenience of the staff and the safety of the patient. Use the lockout switch when appropriate.

CPR R ELEASE
Only healthcare professionals should use the emergency CPR release. The two release handles are under
the head section of the bed near the seat section.
To activate the CPR release, pull the handle away from the bed. Continue to pull out on the handle until
the head section is flat. When this is complete, attend to the patient. The bed will automatically flatten
the head and seat sections and reset itself to be ready to use after the emergency.

Theory of Operation
INTRODUCTION
The Theories of Operation for the Affinity 4 Birthing Bed are as follows:
• Mechanical System
• Electrical System
• Air System (optional)
The interaction between these subsystems lets all the operational functions be used.
The Electrical system diagrams are at the end of this chapter.

MECHANICAL SYSTEM
The mechanical subsystem has two connected systems:
3
• Bed frame
• Sleep surface

H EAD S ECTION
The head section features an electric motor that uses leverage to elevate the patient’s torso and head. A
hinge joins the head section to the seat section, which moves at the same time as the head section, to
provide more patient support and comfort.

S EAT S ECTION
The seat section is connected by a hinge to the head section. When the head section is raised, the seat
section lowers at the hinge, to provide more patient support and comfort.

F OOT S ECTION
The foot section features an electric motor that moves a pantograph structure in order to raise and
lower the patient’s legs and feet. On beds with a lift-off foot section, an optional utility tray can be
installed to support tools and equipment.

E MERGENCY CPR R ELEASE

The CPR control handles are at the middle of the bed, under the hinge between the seat section and the
head section of the sleep deck. Pulling one of the handles disengages the driving gear of the head
section motor inside the actuator. This lets the head section drop under the pull of gravity, and
cushioned by a single gas spring/damper.

H ILOW S YSTEM
The hilow system features an electric motor that moves a pantograph structure in order to raise and
lower the upper frame of the bed.

Chapter 3: Theory of Operation

C ASTERS
The bed has four casters: three brake and one brake/steer. Each caster has a 30° inclination activation
mechanism and three positions:
• Brake caster—Brake/Neutral/Neutral
• Steer caster—Brake/Neutral/Steer
The brake/steer caster is on the left side, at the foot end.

C ENTRAL B RAKING S YSTEM

The braking system has thee brake casters and one brake/steer caster. The casters are controlled by the
brake/steer pedals connected by a hexagonal bar at the center of the bed, and connecting rods that go
to the casters.

S TEERING
The left foot-end caster is the brake/steer caster. It is controlled by the brake/steer pedal. When the
brake/steer pedal is put in the steer position, the brake/steer caster locks parallel with the frame of the
bed.

T RENDELENBURG-L IKE P OSITION

The Trendelenburg-Like Position control is a fully mechanical function accessed by the caregiver.
Trend-Like Position handles on each side of the head section will release the Trend-Like Position gas
piston to allow for up to 8° of Trendelenburg-Like positioning.

H EADBOARDS
The headboard is a blow-moulded plastic structure with built-in push handles. Optional wood
headboards are available. Push handles can be installed with the wood headboards.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

P OWER M ODULE
The Power entry module is a dual fuse holder and line filter combined. One fuse in the Line and one fuse
in the Neutral. To make sure that you have the current part numbers, go to “Electronics Module (Sheet 1
of 2)” on page 5-60.
For 100 V, 50/60 Hz power, use Baxter part number 7061001, fuse, 5.0 A.
For 120 V, 50/60 Hz power, use Baxter part number 4314317, fuse, 4.0 A.
For 230 V, 50/60 Hz power, use Baxter part number 182100, fuse, 2.0 A.
The main transformer has 3 input primary taps: gray is 100 V, black is 120 V, orange is 230 V. The
secondary is 24 V AC. The main transformer provides low voltage AC power to the control board.
Two 12 V DC, 7.2 Ah batteries connected in series with a 10 A automotive style fuse provides 24 V DC
battery power to the control board.

 Electrical System
Chapter 3: Theory of Operation

C ONTROL B OARD
The bed is operated by a logic control P.C. board. This unit controls the electrical functions of the bed:
hilow, head section, foot section, night light, and optional air system.

AC Input Power
The control board is powered via connector P2, pins 1 and 3, while the bed is plugged into wall power.
The typical voltage between these two pins is 25 V AC, 50/60 Hz. This power is provided by an isolation
step down transformer. The voltage here at no load and 120 V, 60 Hz is typically 25.4 V AC. Positive
Temperature Coefficient (PTC) fuses, RT3 and RT4, are used for transformer overcurrent protection.
These PTC fuses could trip anywhere between 10 to 20 Arms. These PTC fuses are sized to protect the
transformer and any downstream overload or shorts without nuisance tripping during the bed's normal
operation.

DC Input Power
Two 12 V, 7.0 Ah batteries connected in series are provided at connector P5, pins 1 and 2, as backup
power for bed articulation and nurse call function. Externally, there is a 10 A fuse between the batteries.
3
PTC fuses RT1 and RT8 provide additional overcurrent protection. The typical current draw on the
battery during sleep mode is approximately 0.35 mAdc.

AC to DC Power Conversion
The full wave bridge diode, BR1, and bulk capacitors C5 and C6 make up the linear power supply that
converts AC power to DC power. The two 1K-ohm resistors are used to discharge the bulk capacitors
when AC power is removed. This DC power is named Vmot. The voltage range is approximately 20 to 40
V DC depending on the line voltage and load current.

Power Control
The main control relay, K2, supplies DC power to the motor and main logic regulators from either Vmot
or Vbat_p (protected battery). This relay coil is powered directly by the battery. Only in the energized
state can the relay supply battery power to the motors. Basic operation of the main control relay is:
when AC power is available relay K2 is de-energized and supplies Vmot to the board. When AC power is
not available and relay K2 is de-energized, the only power being drawn from the battery is U40, the
siderail logic regulator. The current draw on the battery during sleep mode is approximately 0.35 mAdc.
In this sleep mode, siderail LEDs are not illuminated but the rest of the siderail circuits are energized.
When the caregiver or patient presses the correct siderail control, or the trend-like position handle, a
wakeup signal is sent. If AC power is not available, the wakeup signal sets the flip-flop, U19, and
energizes relay K2, which powers up the control board. The relay will remain active until the wakeup
signal goes low and the sleep timer, U1 and U12, expires. Approximately 3.7 minutes after releasing the
siderail control. The current draw on the battery during the awake mode is approximately 0.25 Adc. The
AC Detect circuit monitor the transformer secondary, “VAC+”, and will show no AC at 19.8 vrms. AC is
active at 20vrms and greater.

Affinity 4 Birthing Bed Service Manual (195826 REV 7) 3-3

Electrical System
Chapter 3: Theory of Operation

Voltage Regulators
U2 is a National Semi LM2595 adjustable switching regulator, set for a +12.14 V DC +/- 4% output. U5 is
a fixed 5 V regulator with an output of +5.0 V DC +/- 0.2 V. These two regulators are only on when AC
power is available or during battery wakeup mode. U40 is a low current 5 volt fixed regulator for the
battery wake up circuit. The output is 5.0 V+/- 0.2 V DC and the typical current draw is 30mA with a
maximum of 50mAdc. This regulator is operational when AC power is available and as long as the
battery is greater than approximately 13 V DC. U37 is a 3.3 V DC fixed regulator. Output is 3.3 V DC +/-
2%. U38 is a 1.8 V DC fixed regulator. Output is 1.8 V DC +/- 4%

Battery Charger
The charger is based on the TI/Unitrode UC3906 chip and TIP32C pass transistor. This charger is
configured for three modes of operation: trickle charge, bulk charge, and float charge.
The battery charger will charge at the trickle charge rate (30mA set by R320/R321 equivalent to 650
ohms) until the battery is charged to 18 V DC. Above 18 V DC, the battery charger will charge at the bulk
charge rate (500 mA set by R313/R314 equivalent to .5 ohms). The charger will use the bulk charge
mode and will decrease the charge rate as the battery voltage gets closer to the Vf set point of 
27.2 V DC. The charger will use the float charge mode to maintain battery voltage at a fully charged
level.

Battery Charge Indicator

The battery charge indicator LEDs on the siderails will only show the charge status while on AC power or
in battery wake up mode. The battery indicator has 3 modes: off, flashing, and on. The LEDs should be
off if the battery voltage is less than 22 V, flashing between 22 V and 24 V, and on if greater than 24 V.
The battery circuit is simple and should not be used during bed articulation. The battery charge status
should be reasonable when the bed is idle (no bed articulation) and the bed is on AC power or in battery
wake up mode.

Night Light
The night light is always on while AC power is on or in battery wake up mode. Power to the night light is
12 V from the switching regulator

Siderail Interface Circuit

The siderail interface has 4 functions: siderail LED connection/driver, part of the wake up circuit, power
to the siderails, and SPI interface.
The siderail control and LED functions of both rails are controlled from connectors P11 and P13 on the
control board. Each rail is provided connections or a driver to control the LEDs on the siderail boards.
The wake up function consists of a logic high signal from P11-5 or P13-5. The signal from each rail is
filtered (for ESD) and de-bounced and then “or”-ed for the battery wake up signal via U21, U22, and U19.
This circuit is powered by the VCC5BAT power rail.
The SPI (serial peripheral interface) is the communication network between the siderail user controls
and the CPLD, U9, on the control board. The CPLD is the master and the caregiver siderail boards are the
slaves. The CPLD receives inputs (MISO) only, which are the user control switch data. The CPLD supplies
a common chip select (shift/load signal) and the clock signal. These 3 SPI interface circuits, clock, MISO,
shift/load, are designed with two different power supply sides. The CPLD side uses the VCC5 power rail
for supply power while the siderail side uses the VCC5BAT power rail. The two sides must be isolated so

3-4 Affinity 4 Birthing Bed Service Manual (195826 REV 7)

 Electrical System
Chapter 3: Theory of Operation

that when in the sleep mode, battery power does not leak into the unpowered logic power, VCC5. This
back feeding could power up the logic side and draw unnecessary power from the battery.

Articulation Lockout Control

Connector P3 links the lockout control to the control board. Pins 1 and 3 of connector P3 carry all the
motor current and these are the pins that are controlled by the lockout control. So the lockout control
disconnects all power to the motor supervisory relay. When activated this control also activates the
siderail lockout LEDs.

Motor Drivers
The lockout control provides motor power to the supervisory relay, K4. The supervisory relay supplies
power to the head, hilow, and foot motor relays. The supervisory relay is activated whenever a motor
function is requested to operate as a safety for individual motor relay failures. Each motor has two relays,
one for up and one for down. The contacts for the two relays are set up in an H-bridge fashion with the
motor coil grounded when the relays are de-energized. This aids dynamic motor braking. A set of four
motor coil recirculation diodes are provided to protect the relay contacts as they are switching. In
general, the individual motor relays turn on approximately 40 milliseconds before the supervisory relay.
3
The motor and supervisory relays turn off at about the same time.
The hilow motor uses a smart FET to turn on and off the hilow motor. This was necessary to keep the
relay contacts from sticking due to the high load current of this motor. The smart FET, U39, turns on last
and off first, keeping the switching loads out of the relays.

Hilow And Foot Position Limits

The hilow and foot position limits are necessary to keep the foot and hilow mechanisms from crashing
into each other during articulation. The foot and hilow motors have internal potentiometers with wiper
outputs that correspond to the actuator stroke. These potentiometer outputs are fed into some opamp
buffers which then feed into comparators to generate actuator stroke limits. The buffers are necessary
to isolate the noisy potentiometers from the noise sensitive high speed comparators. The on-board trim
potentiometers and the resistor strings provide voltage reference adjustments for the actuator stroke
limits. Upper and lower limit LEDs are provided for ease of adjustment.
Potentiometer R8 controls LBD2 (limit bed down 2). This limit, LBD2, stops the hilow down motion when
the foot section is at it lower limit. LBD2 is measured from the floor to the flattened seat section and is
23.00-23.50 inches (584.2-596.9 mm). Upper and lower limit LEDs are provided for ease of adjustment

Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD), U9, Functions:

1. Acts as master for SPI communications between itself and both siderail caregiver boards. It
generates the clock and shift/load signals to collect and shift the 32 bits of input control data from
each rail. This 32 bit stream is identical from each rail and is “or”-ed together in the CPLD. The stream
is fed into a 32 bit serial to parallel shift register. Each shift register output is latched into a flip-flop
using the shift/load signal. These flip-flop outputs represent a control on the siderail.
2. Receives inputs from Pendant controls and Trend-like position handle switches. These signals are
direct and mix with the limit logic in order to run the articulation motors.

Affinity 4 Birthing Bed Service Manual (195826 REV 7) 3-5

Electrical System
Chapter 3: Theory of Operation

3. Articulation control - the head motor needs no limit control and uses the actual motor internal
limits for its stroke. The CPLD limit logic controls whether the hilow or foot motor runs or not when
requested depending on the positions of the foot and hilow at the time of the request. The bed
hilow high limit is not really needed and will be disabled external to the CPLD. This logic is needed
in order to keep the foot and hilow mechanisms from running into each other. There are features
integrated into this logic. For instance, if the doctor wanted to lower the foot to the lower level, the
logic may lift the bed up first before lowering the foot section any more. The foot full up limit and
foot full down limit have been disabled external to the CPLD because they are no longer needed.
The logic has been changed so that the head up and bed up functions will not run at the same time.
The bed up function will always take priority over the head up function.
4. Air system control - the CPLD flip-flop outputs control the air system directly, except that the CPLD
provides a caregiver only feature that allows the user to just touch the seat inflate or deflate briefly
and these functions will run continuously for approximately 22 seconds without holding the
controls. Pressing either control will stop the 22 second timer.
5. SideCom control - the siderail entertainment, lighting controls, and nurse call controls are decoded
as described in Step 1 on page 3-5, and the output flip-flop signals are sent in a parallel fashion to
the SideCom board.

Nurse Call Watchdog Timer

The nurse call relay is U27 and isolates the SideCom circuits from the bed secondary circuits. It can be
operated by any nurse call control in either siderail. It can also get set if there is a fault in the SPI bus.
There is a single unused bit in each siderail 32 bit stream that is set high. Both MISO streams are
“and”-ed in the CPLD and this high bit clears the nurse call watchdog timer, U3. So if one siderail cable is
not connected, the watchdog bit will be low and not reset the timer. The timer will send a nurse call in
approximately 30 seconds.

Main Clock Oscillator

The main SPI clock is set to 24KHz +/- 10%, 50% +/- 5% duty cycle.

Nurse Call LEDs

The bed deviates from the normal SideCom use of the yellow nurse call and red nurse answer LEDs, it
combines both into one orange LED. When the patient presses the nurse call control and the nurse call
station acknowledges it, the station sets the yellow nurse call signal. The control board, via relay K9,
flashes the siderail orange nurse LED at a 1.0Hz +/- 33%. This shows the patient that the nurse station
has acknowledged the nurse call. When the nurse answers the call, the orange LED will stop flashing
and stay on solid via relay K8.

Air System
The 26.5 V AC air pump is connected to P9-1 and 2. Power to the pump comes directly from the
transformer secondary “24 V AC”. RT20 protects the pump from overcurrent and two relay closures are
required for the pump to operate. Three signals are required to turn on the pump: AC_ON, AIR_SUPER,
and PUMP_AIR. The pump draws about 1.9 Arms. There are three air valve solenoid drivers: lumbar,
exhaust, and seat. The air solenoid valves are connected to logic control P.C. board connector P12. The
solenoid valves are intermittent duty and require Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to hold them and
reduce power to the solenoid. The power to each solenoid driver has a supervisory relay in series with
the 12 V DC rail and each has a PTC fuse for overcurrent protection. Each driver circuit drives the
solenoid at turn on with full power for 1.25 sec +/- 35%, then holds with a 24KHz PWM signal at 50%
duty +/- 5%. The holding current is 0.25 A DC +/- 20%.

3-6 Affinity 4 Birthing Bed Service Manual (195826 REV 7)

 Electrical System
Chapter 3: Theory of Operation

Pendant Inputs
The pendant is connected to logic control P.C. board connector P14 and the pendant functions are only
the three motor articulation functions. These signals go directly to the CPLD and do not use the SPI
interface. These signals have switch de-bounce and ESD protection components.

Oscillator Circuits
IC, U11, is an un-buffered inverter used to create two oscillators. The 1.0Hz oscillator is used for the
yellow nurse call flashing and flashing of the battery charge indicator LED. The output should be 1.0Hz
+/- 33%. The other oscillator is 24KHz +/- 10% and is used to drive the air solenoids and used to create
the SPI clock. The duty cycle should be 50% +/- 5%.

Ripple Counter Oscillators

U1 is used for the wakeup timer and the oscillator output is 1.1KHz +/- 20%. U3 is used for the SPI

3
problem watchdog timer and the oscillator output is 250.0Hz +/- 20%.

C AREGIVER B OARD O PERATION

Each control on the caregiver board and each control on the patient board is parallel connected to a
parallel-in serial-out 32 bit shift register. When the shift_load/ signal goes low, the control status is
presented to the shift register latch. Then when the shift_load/ signal goes high, the control data is
latched and will start to shift into the control board when the clock starts. LEDs are driven individually
from the control board to show to the user various bed status. The wakeup circuit is connected to both
caregiver and patient nurse call controls and caregiver articulation controls only.

SIDECOM B OARD O PERATION

The SideCom board (relay junction), 64547, serves as the interface between the bed and the hospital
headwall entertainment, lighting, and nurse call systems. It isolates the circuits between the headwall
systems and the bed secondary circuits. Inputs and outputs come from the FPGA or directly from the
siderails via connector P6.
The speaker/microphone and volume control lines are directly connected from the siderail to the
headwall with only the wire insulation as isolation. There are 7 relays that provide left and right, direct
and indirect lighting, left and right radio control, and TV channel control. The universal TV controller
(UTV), U3, provides signals for the more modern hospital TVs. The UTV signal is isolated by K5. The
board has jumpers on it to provide for the older TVs but is rarely used anymore. The nurse call phono
jack, P4, is used for hand control nurse call controls or sip and puff controls. When the dummy plug is
removed a nurse call is made.
The P5 connector connects directly to the hospital headwall SideCom interface.
Refer to the schematic diagram at the end of this section (see page 3-9) for specific information about
the cabling.

Air System (Optional)
Chapter 3: Theory of Operation

AIR SYSTEM (OPTIONAL)

A IR P UMP AND M ANIFOLD

The optional air system uses a linear air pump and solenoid valve manifold to inflate and deflate the seat
and lumbar bladders in correctly equipped mattresses. The pump and solenoid valve manifold are
controlled by the logic control P.C. board.
The pump supplies air pressure to the solenoid valve manifold, and the seat or lumbar solenoid valve
opens to allow air flow into the air bladder in the applicable section of the mattress. The solenoid valve
manifold opens the deflate valve and the seat or lumbar valve to allow air flow out of the air bladder in
the applicable section of the mattress.

A IR M ATTRESS AND A IR B LADDERS

The optional air mattress is a version of the standard mattress with an air bladder in the seat section and
another air bladder in the lower part of the head section. The air pressure is controlled by input from the
caregiver and patient siderail controls.
The air bladders are inflated when the inflate control on the siderail panel is activated, and maintain the
air pressure until the deflate control is activated.

Using LOCTITE Adhesive
Chapter 4: Procedures

USING LOCTITE ADHESIVE

The proper use of Loctite retaining compounds during service is essential to enable certain fasteners to
be correctly retained.
The Loctite adhesive/sealant retaining compounds, are anaerobic, single-component resins supplied as
a liquid. These resins remain in a liquid state in the presence of air, but harden into insoluble plastic film
solids when confined between clean, close-fitting metal surfaces. They can be used in conjunction with
natural rubber, glass, ceramics, and thermosetting plastic surfaces, such as phenolic and polyester. Also,
they do not usually harm nylon, polyethylene, or saran. However, in their liquid state, they sometimes
soften or craze vinyl, cellulosic, styrene, methacrylate plastic, such as Plexiglas, and varnished finishes.
Cured resins do not affect any of these materials. It is important to make a note of that an opened bottle
of these products has a definite shelf-life of about 6 months, which affects its serviceability.
The resins referred to within this manual usually cure to their hardened state on metal parts without
need of primers. However, the use of a recommended primer will help degrease the part and leave a
light deposit of a catalyst to speed curing. The temperature of the parts also affects their cure time. At
40F (4C) it may take weeks to cure, but at 75F (24C), parts cure within the time length shown on
the bottle.

WARNING:
Warning—Use primers with adequate ventilation. Avoid skin contact and prolonged or repeated
breathing of vapors. Do not allow primers to be trapped under rings, watch bands, etc. Observe all
directions on the primer can. Failure to do so could cause personal injury.
When using the product recommended during the service procedure:
1. Disassemble the parts, remove the old Loctite, and clean the parts. Reapply the new Loctite
during reassembly.
2. Apply to clean surfaces only. If necessary, degrease the parts.
3. Use liquid sparingly (usually one or two drops on threaded fasteners). Be sure to apply where
thread engagement begins.
4. Assemble the parts and allow them to cure. Observe the time stated on bottle label before
placing back into service.

WARNING:
Warning—Avoid skin contact with the Loctite accelerator, primer, or adhesive. Skin contact with the
Loctite accelerator, primer, or adhesive could cause personal injury.
If difficulty is experienced in removal or disassembly of a part with Loctite #262 or #271 applied,
heating the screw, bolt, nut, etc. aids in its removal.

P URPLE LOCTITE A DHESIVE #222 (P/N SA4842)

Typical usage is as a low strength adhesive for screws. It is also suitable for sealing threads, fittings, and
cylindrical parts. It normally cures in 2 to 6 hours at 75F (24C) and permits disassembly under
condition of maximum thread engagement.

R ED LOCTITE A DHESIVE #262 (P/N SA4841)

Typical usage is as a medium to high strength adhesive for nuts, screws, etc. Normally it is not used on
fasteners smaller than 1/4" (6.4 mm) with more than 1/2" (12.7 mm) engagement if removal is desired.
It normally cures in 0.5 to 2 hours at 75F (24C) and permits disassembly under condition of maximum
thread engagement.

R ED LOCTITE A DHESIVE #271 (P/N SA4840)

Typical usage is as a high strength adhesive for studs and screws. It is not normally used on fasteners
smaller than 3/8" (9.5 mm) with more than 1/2" (12.7 mm) engagement if removal is desired. It is also
suitable for hydraulic, pneumatic, and pipe fittings. It normally cures in 0.5 to 2 hours at 75F (24C)

screws are accessible. However, easier access may be obtained by removing the air package (see
Procedure 4.18 on page 4-38).
10. Loosen the two screws (A) that attach the switch bracket (B) to the Trend-Like position release
mechanism (E) (gas head and release lever) (see Figure 4-14 on page 4-29).
11. Use the Trend-Like position handle to put the bed in the Trend-Like position while observing the
actuator arm (D) of the TS switch (C).
12. When the bed is in the Trend-Like position, the TS switch (C) should be activated by the Trend-Like
position gas spring cylinder.
13. Make sure the actuator arm (D) is fully activated. (The arm is fully activated when the switch makes
an audible click.)
14. Tighten the two screws (A) that attach the switch bracket (B) to the Trend-Like position release

P.C. B OARDS
When servicing P.C. boards, follow good handling practices. Mishandling a P.C. board can cause the
following:
• P.C. board damage
• Shortened P.C. board life
• Unit malfunctions
Observe the following P.C. board handling rules:
• Make sure that hands are clean and free of moisture, oily liquids, etc.
• Only handle a P.C. board by its outer edges.
• Do not touch the P.C. board components. Finger contact with the board surface and/or with its
components can leave a deposit that will cause board (and component) deterioration.
• When working with electronics, wear an appropriate antistatic strap, and Make sure that it is
correctly grounded.
• Service the removed P.C. board at a static-free workstation that is correctly grounded.
• For shipping and storage, put the removed P.C. board in an antistatic protective bag.

LUBRICATION REQUIREMENTS

WARNING:
Warning—Follow the product manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to do so could cause personal injury
or equipment damage.

CAUTION:
Caution—Do not use silicone-based lubricants. Equipment damage could occur.
Hill-Rom uses maintenance-free DU bushings at major load and pivot points throughout the bed. These
bushings are designed to run dry without lubrication. If the bushing squeaks during operation, apply
anti-seize compound to its bearing surface.

WARNING:
Warning—Visually examine the bushings annually. If wear is apparent, replace them. Failure to do so
could cause personal injury or equipment damage.
The following lubricants can be safely used on the DU bushings:
• P/N SA4269 anti-seize lube (aerosol can)
• P/N 37929 anti-seize lube (brush top lid)

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

WARNING:
Warning—Only facility-authorized persons should service the Affinity 4 Birthing Bed. Service by
unauthorized persons could cause injury or equipment damage.
It is necessary for the Affinity 4 Birthing Bed to have an effective maintenance program. We
recommend that you do annual preventive maintenance (PM) for Joint Commission certification. PM
not only meets Joint Commission requirements but can help make sure of a long, operative life for the
Affinity 4 Birthing Bed. Two effective ways to reduce downtime and make sure the patient remains
comfortable are to keep accurate records and maintain the Affinity 4 Birthing Bed.
The PM Checklist on page 6-13 and page 6-14 is designed to keep a maintenance history for one
Affinity 4 Birthing Bed. The PM Checklist is to be used along with the “Specified Checks” on page 6-9.
The Specified Checks include specific items to examine as you complete the PM Checklist. (Your facility
can change this checklist or design another to fit your needs.)
