The Zenith 7000 Hi/Lo Motors are aligned and synchronized to work smoothly in tandem with one another. In the event of a
power surge or power outage, or if you are replacing an existing motor, it may be necessary to “re-align” your Hi/Lo motors.
You will know that they need this process if the bed appears to be out of its horizontal position when laying flat (i.e the
head end or foot end is tilting slightly downward or upward.
“RE-ALIGNMENT” is a fairly easy process and can be completed within a matter of minutes using the beds pendant/
hand controller. The procedure is described below.
STEP 1: Unplug the beds power cord from the wall outlet. Disconnect
the Hand Control from the T-Cable on either side of the bed.
STEP 2: The 7000 bed can be purchased with an optional Staff Control
in the footboard. Disconnect the short, black Control Cable
and grey T-Cable from the staff control cables running from
underneath the metal shroud on the inside of the footboard.
STEP 3: Plug the Hand Control plug directly into the short, black
Control Cable at the foot end. (
This will eliminate the staff
control from the re-alignment process.) Make sure the pendant’s
phone jack is seated properly and firmly inside the Control
Cable plug. Re-plug the power cord into the wall outlet.
STEP 4: Using the Hi/Lo “DOWN” button on the Hand Controller,
lower the bed until it won’t go any further.
STEP 5: Once the bed has stopped, press the DOWN Hi/Lo button for
15-20 SECONDS to enter into the re-calibration mode.
STEP 6: Release the “DOWN” Hi/Lo button.
STEP 7: Press the “DOWN” Hi/Lo button again to see if the bed will
lower any more. If it still lowers, continue pressing the “Down”
button repeatedly until the bed has reached its final horizontal,
down position and CANNOT MOVE ANY FURTHER. (
If you
have installed a new Hi/Lo motor and your bed is angled, this
process will lower the extended hi/lo motor until it is re-aligned
with the new motor.)
STEP 8: Unplug the beds power cord from the wall outlet. Unplug the
Hand Control plug from the short, black Control Cable and
re-plug into the T-Cable plug on either side of the beds seat
pan (your preference).
STEP 9: Re-plug the black Control Cable and grey T-Cable end plugs
into their corresponding Staff Control Cable ends. Make sure
plugs are firmly seated. Re-plug the power cord into the outlet.
STEP 10: Using your Hand Control, test the Hi/Lo motor functions by
pressing the UP and DOWN buttons, making sure the bed
goes up and down smoothly.
STEP 11: If you are still having trouble with a Hi/Lo motor function,
please see previous page to test motors and cables.
