How to Install a Remote Timer on a Stand Up Tanning Bed

A remote timer is an essential part of a commercial tanning bed. It allows the operator to control the bed remotely. Two types of remote timers exist; wired and wireless. Wireless remote timers are becoming more popular due to their ease of use and installation. Most timers have predefined settings for time and exposure. Most timers also have a fail safe that automatically turns off the bed after a given length of time. Does this Spark an idea?

Unplug the bed from the wall.

Locate the control panel for the tanning bed.

Find the plug for the remote or control wire. This should be labeled on the bed. If you are having difficulty locating the plug, then consult the owner's manual.

Plug the connector or control cable into the plug. This cable must be designed for the specific tanning bed make. The company that sold the remote timer should also sell this cable.

Plug the other end of the cable into the remote timer receiver. This is the unit that will transmit the timer signals from the control to and from the tanning bed.

Turn on the control unit for the remote timer. This is the wireless device that will control the timer on the bed.

Plug in the bed and test out the system.

Warning

- Tanning beds have been directly linked to causing skin cancer. Tan at your own risk.
