Tanning Bed Cords and Plugs
Tanning bed cords and plugs are often worn, frayed, or destroyed
during normal
operation or moving of tanning beds. Typically the bed cord must be able to handle 220 volts and 20 to 30 amps
of current.
A
home
tanning bed with a 100 volt plug and receptacle will usually require a 20 amp breaker versus the
normal 15 amp breaker found in many homes today.
If your bed is tripping the
circuit breaker, this could be
the reason why.
Pictured here is the most
common type of tanning bed power cord for 32 lamp beds with a L630 twist lock plug
requiring a 30 amp power cord.
We also carry molded power cords for 20 amp circuits as required by many Sunquest
and SCA Wolff tanning beds.
The most common home tanning bed repair call is
: " I just bought a used bed from a salon and it will not come on". This is because the unit was most likely hooked up to a remote timer. You need to make the tanning bed think there is a "remote timer" hooked up to
the bed like there was at the salon.
To
do this, you install a "Magic Wire" in
the phone type jacks in the back
of the bed like the one pictured here. This will close the switch and allow the bed to energize.
This adapter fits most newer
models with digital timers like
ETS, Sun Ergoline, and Tropical
Rayz to name a few.
If you
bought a
SunQuest, SunStar, StarPower, or
Sunvision, you will need
one of these adapters to make
this bed work as a stand alone
unit. We can produce one
of these for about $35 or you
can call us to find out how to
make one yourself.
