Re: timer compatible?

The T-max should be capable of connecting to this bed. I assume this bed has a mechanical timer and all cooling fans shutdown when the bed stops. New beds have computer boards, which keep the cooling fans running after the bed stops. This can make connecting a t-max wall timer more difficult. Some beds of this vintage do include additional electric circuits to keep the cooling fans on the beds running, independent of the mechanical timer. As the previous commenter noted all that is needed is two wires from the wall timer to connect to the bed. The t-max wall timer can be remote connected to either Intelitan or T-max Pro timer panels.

The wiring is simple daisy chain from T-max panel, into and out of first bed, second, third, etc. and then back to T-max panel. The t-max wall timer has to be programmed if connected to the Remote T-max panel. There are instructions with the wall timers, each has to have a bed adress.

Note that T-max and Intelitan are made by the same company, Applied Digital. Intelitan is the trademark of Sun Ergoline. T-max is the generic name and about 40% less cost. Sun Ergoline beds can talk to a t-max system. It just requires going into the parameters and telling the bed to talk to T-max. We have a mixture of beds in our salon both Sundash and ETS.

Programming each bed is such a treat. My wife taught computers, and my son an engineering student, and my expertise helped figure out all these problems. Please send us a message if you would like further help, pat paradise
