Before installation, re-installation, or troubleshooting• Stop the DL2• Switch off the power supply and pull out the mains plug.
• Relieve the DL2 of any loads, which may be released during the work.
Before start-up:• Make sure that the system has been installed as instructed in this User Manual.
• Make sure that the voltage of the control box is correct before the system isconnected to the mains.
• System connection. The individual parts must be connected before the control box
is connected to the mains. See the User Manual for LINAK actuators, if necessary.
During operation:• If the control box makes unusual noises or smells, switch off the mains voltage
immediately.
• Take care that the cables are not damaged.
• Unplug the mains cable on mobile equipment before it is moved.
• The products must only be used in an environment, that corresponds to their IP
protection.
Misc.
The actuator system has a sound level below 55dB(A) in typical applications.

Misc. on the DESKLINE® system
Warranty
There is a 36 months’ warranty on the DESKLINE products against manufacturing faults from the production date of theindividual products (see label).
LINAK A/S’ warranty is only valid in so far as the equipment has been used and maintained correctly and has not been
tampered with. Furthermore, the system must not be exposed to violent treatment. In the event of this, the warranty will beineffective/invalid. For further details, please see LINAK A/S ordinary conditions of sale.
Maintenance
Clean dust and dirt on the outside of the system at appropriate intervals and inspect them for damage and breaks.
Inspect the connections, cables, and plugs and check for correct functioning as well as fixing points.
Service of double-insulated products:
Class IIA Class II or double insulated electrical appliance is one which has been designed in such a way that it does not require asafety connection to electrical earth (US: ground).
The basic requirement is that no single failure can result in dangerous voltage becoming exposed so that it might cause anelectric shock and that this is achieved without relying on an earthed metal casing. This is usually achieved at least in part byhaving two layers of insulating material surrounding live parts or by using reinforced insulation.
There is no earthing/grounding means provided on the product, and no earthing/grounding means is to be added to the
product.
In Europe, a double insulated appliance must be labelled “Class II”, “double insulated” or bear the double insulation symbol(a square inside another square).
Servicing a double-insulated product requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and is to be done only by qualified
service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated product must be identical to the parts they replace.
The cleaners and disinfectants must not be highly alkaline or acidic (pH value 6-8).

Description of the DESKLINE® system
Each DESKLINE® actuator/column is equipped with a motor and parallel/memory drive is ensured by means of software in the
CBD4/CBD5/CBD6 that also takes account of an uneven load on the desk. Soft start and stop are also part of this software,
which ensures a soft start and stop when adjusting the desk.
Application of the DESKLINE® system:
Irrespective of the load the duty cycle max. 5% ~ 1 min./ 19 min., max. 1 min. at continuous use followed by 19
min. pause stated in the data sheets, must NOT be exceeded as this will result in an overheating of the motor and control
box. Exceeding the duty cycle will result in a dramatic reduction of the life of the system.
The system range contains the following products:• 1 control box CBD4/CBD5/CBD6• 1, 2, 3 or 4 DL2 lifting columns• 1 exchangeable mains cable• motor cables (1 - 4 (4))• 1 DP1U/DPF1M (if memory function is required) DP1C/WDPL/DPT/DPF1C (if memory function and display is required) or 1
DPA/DPB/DP1K/DP1V/DPFK/DPF1K (if only up/down is required.)Page 9 of 20

Mounting guidelines for DL2 with control box
The DL2 column is supplied with either 8 mm end plates or 3 mm end plates.
8 mm end plates:
For mounting on the desk frame there are 4 holes for M10 bolts. It is recommended to use all 4 bolts.
3 mm end plates:
For mounting on the desk frame there are 4 holes in the column for DG 80 x 35 screws. It is recommended to use all 4 screws.
As the table top amplifies the sound we advise you to place a vibration/shock-absorbing material between the table top andthe table frame.
The outer profile of the DL2 column has tracks, which can be used for mounting a bracket. The mounting bracket can be used
for e.g.:
Mounting a customised cover (for encapsulation of the DL2).

Figure 2

To limit the influence from the bending moment it is recommended to place the heaviest load in the shaded area (see figure 2)
in which the spindle is placed. The spindle part is placed in the same side as the cable outlet.
See the DL2 data sheet for further information regarding bending moment.

LINAK recommends that the DESKLINE® system should be used in push applications.

Mounting guidelines CBD4/CBD5/CBD6
The control box is to be fastened with 4 screws (3 screws for CBD5 and CBD6) with a head diameter between ø 8 and ø 10
mm. Out of regard for the tension surface ø 10 mm is preferable due to lower surface tension. See drawing appendix for placingof mounting holes and the space the CBD takes up.

CBD4 - Control box

CBD5 - Control box

CBD6 - Control box

The CBD must not be packed in heat insulating material, but must be placed so that it can emit waste heat into thesurroundings. There are no ventilation holes to consider, the CBD emits heat through the surface.
The plug must be visible when the CBD is mounted so that the supply to the CBD can be disconnected at replacement, if any.
The mounting screws on the control box must be fastened with a max. torque of 1 Nm.
The mounting surface to which the control box is attached should have a surface evenness of better than ± 0.5 mm.
CBD6 - bottom with cable grooves
The bottom of CBD6 is equipped with two cable grooves improving the cable management when mounting. The grooves can beused to bypass the CBD for both motorcables and the mains cable (EU version only) from one side to the other, giving a cleaner
design.
.

Remember to lead the cables through the grooves before mounting the control box.
For mounting and operation of the desk panel, please see the separate user manual for desk panels.

Electrical connection of the DL2 with control box
The systems is to be connected as shown on figure 3. Each DL2 is to be connected to the sockets on the control box by meansof the motor cables, which have a 6-pin plug in each end.
Finally the mains cable is to be mounted and power switched on. Please note that the control box must only beconnected to the voltage stated on the label.
CBD4/CBD5/CBD6 with earth
The CBD4/CBD5/CBD6 earth cable to be mounted on the desk construction (typically the top frame) in a way that ensures
good electrical contact. The function of the earth cable is to earth the desk and ground static electricity. The earth connection
does not protect other electrical products.
CBD4 with mains cutoff (non ZERO models)If the power cable is damaged it has to replaced by an authorized LINAK service centre to avoid any danger.

Disposal of LINAK’s products
As LINAK’s customers often ask us how our products can be disposed of or scrapped we have prepared this guidance thatenables a classification to different waste fractions for recycling or combustion.
Guidance
We recommend that our products be disassembled as much as possible and divided into different waste groups for recycling or
combustion.
For example, waste can be sorted into metals, plastics, cable scrap, combustible material, and recoverable resources.
Some of these main groups can be further divided into subgroups; e.g. metal can be divided into steel/aluminium/copper andplastic can be divided into ABS/PA/PE/PP.
As an example, the table below breaks down the different components in LINAK products to various recycling groups:
