The products are components to be built into a piece of medical electrical equipment by amanufacturer.
To support the assessment and certification task of the complete medical electrical equipment or systemworldwide, LINAK provides certification, on a component level, according to the IEC 60601-1, (Medical
electrical equipment – Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance) as recognised
components by NRTL (Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories).
Description of the various signs used in this manual:Warnings
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in accidents involving serious personal injury.

Recommendations
Failing to follow these instructions can result in product damage.
Please read the following safety information carefully:
Ensure that all staff who are to connect, mount, or use the actuator system are in possession of thenecessary information and that they have access to these assembly instructions.
Persons who do not have the necessary experience or knowledge of LINAK products should not use these.
Moreover, persons with reduced physical or mental abilities must not use the products, unless they are
under surveillance or they have been thoroughly instructed in the use of the equipment by a person who
is responsible for the safety of these persons. Moreover, children must be under surveillance to ensure thatthey do not play with the product.
Please be aware that LINAK has taken precautions to ensure the safety of the actuator system. The
manufacturer/OEM is responsible for the overall approval of the complete application.
LINAK recommends to use the actuators in push applications rather than pull applications.

LINAK actuators are not to be used for repeated dynamic push-to-pull movements.
For general pull applications or repeated dynamic push-to-pull movements in the application, please contact
LINAK A/S if in doubt.
LINAK actuators and electronics generally fall outside the IEC 60601-1 definition of applied parts and are notmarked as such.

General warnings
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in accidents involving serious personal injury:
The medical device manufacturer is responsible for the incorporation of a suitable safety
arrangement, if the actuator or lifting column is used for pull in an application where personal injury
can occur, which will prevent personal injury from occurring in case of actuator failure.
Note that during construction of applications, in which the actuator is to be fitted, there must be no
possibility of personal injury, for example the squeezing of fingers or arms.
The plastic parts in the system cannot tolerate cutting oil.

Assure free space for movement of the application in both directions to avoid a blockade.

The application and actuators are only to be operated by instructed personnel.

In applications with spline function, the blockage by an obstacle when the application is moving
inwards, the removal of the obstacle will cause the load to drop until the spindle hits the nut.
Do not turn the outer tube.

Do not use chemicals.

Inspect the actuator system regularly for damage and wear.

Do not expose LINAK actuator system components to high intensity ultraviolet radiation disinfection
lamps. This may damage the enclosure, supporting parts and cables.
LINAK actuators and electronics are not designed for use within the following fields:• In the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide• Planes and other aircrafts• Explosive environments• Nuclear power generation
If faults are observed, the products must be replaced.

A LINAK control box, actuator and accessory component must, in the final application, be placed
where it is not exposed to any impact. This is to prevent damage if a passer-by accidentally hits itwith an object or when cleaning the floor with a broom or a mop. On a medical bed e.g. this might
be underneath the mattress support platform. If necessary to mitigate this risk, additional protection
might be required.
To avoid unintended movement, prevent foreign objects or persons from unintentionally activating afootswitch or a hand control at any time, for instance during normal use or maintenance.
If there is visible damage on the product it should not be installed.

If the actuator system makes unusual noise or smells, switch off the mains voltage immediately anddisconnect batteries, if applicable.
The products must only be used in an environment that corresponds to their IP protection class.

The cleaners and disinfectants must not be highly alkaline or acidic (pH value 6-8). See cleaning
section.
Irrespectively of the load, the duty cycle stated on the product label must NOT be exceeded.

The control box must only be connected to the voltage stated on the label.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
EMC Warnings
Electromagnetic compatibility – general
LINAK® actuator systems bear the CE marking as an attestation of compliance with the EMC Directive
2014/30/EU. The systems are designed to meet all requirements of applicable standards and havebeen tested to meet IEC 60601-1-2 requirements.
Emission:
LINAK Actuator Systems are CISPR 11, Group 1, Class B products, comply with IEC 61000-3-2, Class
A and IEC 61000-3-3 unless stated otherwise in the relevant section of this document.
Immunity:
Test levels are according to Professional Healthcare Facility and Home Healthcare Facility Environment.
Electromagnetic phenomena are evaluated on a system level, with the actuator connected to a LINAK
control box and accessories.
LINAK always recommends to perform verification tests on the final medical device.
Electromagnetic compatibility – third party components
Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified by LINAK could result inincreased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of the actuator system
and result in improper operation.
Electromagnetic compatibility – interference with other equipment in general
Use of the actuator system adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided as
this could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, the actuator system and the otherequipment should be observed to verify that they are operating properly.
If the user notes unusual behavior of the actuator system, in particular if such behaviour isintermittent and associated with the standing right next to mobile phones, microwaves and radio
broadcast masts, this could be an indication of electromagnetic interference.
If such behaviour occurs, try to move the actuator system further away from the interfering
equipment.
Electromagnetic compatibility – interference with other equipment, RF communications
Portable RF communication equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and externalantennas) should be used at a distance no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the actuatorsystem. This also applies to cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise, a performancedegradation of this equipment could result.

LIFT | 14

EMC responsibilities for LINAK actuator systems
LINAK verifies the EMC performance of each LINAK product and approves them individually. The LINAK
products can be combined and integrated into many different systems. LINAK also verifies the system EMC
performance on commonly used combinations.
LINAK has certificates in accordance with applicable standards for each product and provides the customers,
who are building the application and integrating these products into systems (systems with control box,
actuators, cables, batteries, etc.), with these certificates.
However, EMC testing of LINAK products in generic LINAK systems is not made in an environment that
corresponds to the specific application environment which differs from the generic testing environment.
There will be differences that can affect the EMC performance in the specific target application.
The customer is responsible for qualifying and approving the complete application including the LINAK
system.
Regulatory standard
LINAK products, being components to be incorporated by a Manufacturer [definition: IEC 60601-1 ed.3.1,
cl. 3.55] into Medical Electrical Equipment [definition: IEC 60601-1 ed.3.1, cl. 3.63], are tested concerning
the EMC phenomena according to the Collateral Standard IEC 60601-1-2 ed. 4.1.
IEC 60601-1-2 ed. 4.1 sets forth the requirements for the electromagnetic compatibility of Medical Electrical
Equipment, ensuring that devices operate safely and effectively within their intended environments.
Compliance with this standard is essential to minimize electromagnetic interference and maintain the
integrity and performance of Medical Devices.
Furthermore, IEC 60601- 1-2 ed. 4.1 states:”This collateral standard recognizes that the Manufacturer has the responsibility to design and perform
Verification of Medical Electrical Equipment and Medical Electrical Systems to meet the requirements of thisCollateral Standard and to disclose information to the Responsible Organization or Operator so that the
Medical Electrical System will remain safe throughout its Expected Service Life.”
Qualification process of a new application
The qualification process for a new application is normally done in cooperation between the customer and
LINAK. LINAK provides the relevant support, competence and documentation needed for the customer’s
overall development plan and test plan for the specific application.
The driver of the qualification process is the customer who has the ultimate application responsibility (MDS).
The customer identifies and specifies the needed testing based on many different parameters (experience,risk management, requirements from standards, etc.).
In many cases, the customer is establishing and verifying tests early in the project to ensure that the approval
process has a low risk of failing when tested in the approval institute.
The customer identifies which tests to make and when they are to be performed in the project to mitigate
the risk of failure in the approval process which also includes EMC testing.

LIFT | 15

Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
LINAK® considers ESD to be an important issue and years of experience have shown that equipment
designed to meet the levels specified in standards might be insufficient to protect electronic equipment incertain enviroments.
1. Handling and mounting electrostatic discharge sensitive devices (ESDS devices).
• Handling of sensitive components shall only take place in an ESD Protected Area (EPA) under protected
and controlled conditions.
• Wrist straps and/or conductive footwear (personal grounding) shall always be used when handling ESDS
devices.
• Sensitive devices shall be protected outside the EPA by the use of ESD protective packaging.
2. Responsibility LINAK/customer• ESDS devices must under no circumstances, during transport, storage, handling, production or mounting
in an application, be exposed to harmfull ESD.
• LINAK can only guarantee the lifetime of ESDS devices if they are handled in the same way fromproduction at LINAK A/S until they are mounted in the manufacturer’s application. It is therefore
important that the ESDS devices are not removed from the ESD protected packaging before they arephysically within the EPA area at the customer premises.

Batteries
General battery warnings
Handle batteries carefully. Do not short circuit the battery.

Avoid continuous battery discharge when the medical device is not in use, as this may cause leadsulphate formation, which, if left in this state for too long, will irreversibly damage the battery.
LINAK battery packs may emit flammable gases. Do not expose the battery packs to fire or
equipment that emits sparks. Moreover, do not store the battery in a closed environment orincorporate it into a closed structure of an enclosure as this may cause an explosion, fire, equipment
damage, or injury.
Handle tools carefully and do not wear jewelery when handling batteries. A short-circuit of thebattery terminals can cause burn injuries, damage or trigger explosions.
Only connect LINAK batteries to compatible chargers.

LINAK battery packs contain toxic substances. If the internal battery fluid leaks out and gets onto
skin or clothing, make sure it is washed off with clean water. Moreover, if the fluid gets into the eyes,
rinse them immediately with clean water and seek medical assistance.
Do not use or store LINAK battery packs in places where the ambient temperature exceeds 50 °C,
such as inside a hot automobile, in direct sunlight, or in front of a stove or a source of intense heat.
Doing so can shorten the battery life, lower its performance level, cause the battery to leak fluid,
explode, cause fire, or be damaged.

Lithium ion batteries
Li-Ion batteries are moving in the direction of minimising the physical size and, at the same time, increasing
the capacity. This gives a very compact battery with a high energy concentration. It also increases the risk ofthermal runaway (see note below) due to internal short circuits.
The general use of Li-Ion batteries has increased, and the inherent risk of thermal runaway has led to stricter
rules within the transport industry, specifically air transport with tightened restrictions on the quantity,
handling, and storage of specific products.
The OEMs and consumers must recognise that although safe to use, Li-Ion cells always have a very small riskof thermal runaway. The risk could be as little as 1 PPM or even less.
LINAK currently bases our Li-Ion battery design on cell types with an industry-proven history (e.g. electriccars). The use of well-proven cell technology reduces the risk of thermal runaway, but it does not eliminate
it. LINAK has completed activities to reduce this risk and the complete battery package is approved inaccordance with UL.
An external, internationally recognised expert has also reviewed the design to ensure that it is manufactured
according to the latest recommendations. Further to that, we only use cells from well-recognised
manufacturers.
LINAK recommends that when using Li-Ion batteries, the customers should carry out proper risk analysis on
their application. The risk analysis must also take into consideration that these products are not mounted inpositions where they are in direct contact with flammable materials.
LINAK Li-Ion batteries have no greater risk of thermal runaway than other Li-Ion cells from well-recognised
manufacturers within the market. Therefore, LINAK cannot take responsibility for any failures that occur due
to a failure that is inherent in the nature of Li-Ion batteries.
If any of the Li-Ion batteries built into LINAK products are found to be defective under warranty, LINAK will
provide the OEM with a new product. LINAK explicitly disclaims all other remedies. LINAK shall not in any
event be liable under any circumstances for any special indirect punitive incidental or consequential damages
or losses arising from any incident related to the inherent risk of thermal runaway in the Li-Ion cell and any
use of LINAK products. Moreover, LINAK explicitly disclaims any responsibility for profit loss, failure to realise
expected savings, any claim against our customer by a third party, or any other commercial or economic
losses of any kind, even if LINAK has been advised of the possibility of such damages or losses.
Note: ‘Thermal runaway’ is overheating of a cell, and it could lead to a small fire and smoke from the cell.

Transportation
The lithium ion batteries must be packed and transported in accordance with applicable regulations. Always
ask your local transportation provider how to handle the transportation of lithium ion batteries.
Please see the general assembly instructions and the mounting section for detailed information.

LIFT | 21

Warnings
When using Li-Ion batteries with patient lift control boxes, loss of power might happen due to thebattery deep discharge protection. This will only happen in case of continuous battery use despite
warnings. In this event, there may be no warning, and the application may not be able to move when
expected.
In his risk analysis, the customer must take into consideration how to assure alternative means tomake movement, for instance quick release or manual lowering.
Do not open the battery housing as damaging the cell or circuitry may develop excessive heat.

If product caution is not clearly visible at low light intensity, read the product label instructions
symbol. A warning must be included in the application manufacturer manual for the medical device.
The application manufacturer must test the application and ensure that intentional and unintended
operations do not exceed the battery specification limits.
Defective or damaged Li-Ion batteries are not allowed for transportation.

For safety reasons, please adhere to the indicated charging and operation temperature.

In case the battery is too hot, disconnect it, evacuate the room, and wait for 2 hours before taking
further steps.
Mounting instructions must be followed in order to avoid exposing batteries to water.

In general, recharging of battery must take place every 6 months. However, please note:- New Li-Ion batteries, shipped from LINAK are in a deep-sleep state, where the self-discharge is very
little- When mounted in an application, LINAK Li-Ion batteries wake up, resulting in a higher rate ofcharge, depending on the application/system- Application manufacturer must consider this idle consumption for his specific system and makeprecautions to avoid discharged batteries.
- Contact your LINAK sales team for further information
If batteries are to be shipped by air, they shall not be charged to more than 30%

Disposal of the battery takes place in accordance with local regulations.

LIFT | 22

Recommendations
Do not exceed the storage temperature as it will shorten the product life and performance.
Allow the battery to settle to room temperature before use.
Lithium ion batteries are not intended for use in outdoor applications and indoor pool environments.
If the battery is completely discharged, then recharge the battery before storage.
Always use correct LINAK charger
DO NOT:
Heat or burn the batteries.
Expose the batteries to high impact/excessive force.
Crush or puncture the batteries.
Use batteries with signs of damage or corrosion.
Charge or store the batteries near combustible material.
Exceed IP-ratings.
Overcharge or fully discharge the batteries.

Safety feature
Lithium ion batteries contain several mechanisms to protect themselves from being damaged due toexcessive use. In case of overheating, the device will activate a thermal protection. No power output will beavailable until the temperature is again within normal operating range.
Overheating may occur by extensive use at high temperatures or when exceeding the duty cycle (see productlabel).

LIFT | 23

Lead acid batteries
Maintenance of batteries
Prior to first use of LINAK® batteries, please make sure that they are charged at least 24 hours and if possible
even longer for proper functioning and prolonging the battery lifetime.

Replacement of batteries
The batteries must only be replaced by the same type of batteries or mechanical and electrical equivalent
types. The batteries must be new or maintained by means of charging at least every 6 months. The batteries,
which make a set, must be supplied with identical production codes.
Production code mismatch may lead to a severely reduced lifetime expectancy.
Before mounting, ensure that the battery set is correctly connected, compare with the drawing in the battery
room and check that no connectors are loose.

Warnings in connection with battery replacement
Please observe the following maintenance, replacement, and disposal requirements to ensure a safeand reliable operation.
The batteries are to be replaced after 4 years at the latest. Perhaps earlier, depending on the patternof use. Frequent and high-powered discharges reduce the battery life. For an optimum lifetime, theproduct must be connected to the mains voltage as often as possible. It is recommended that thebatteries are to be charged for at least every 6 months - otherwise the batteries will have reduced
capacity due to self-discharge. It is recommended to test the battery function at least once every year.
The battery compartment is hermetically separated from the electronics compartment. Whenreplacing the batteries this separation must not be damaged or modified as this may allow
penetration of battery gas into the electronics compartment with risk of explosion.
When replacing batteries in waterproof products (IPX5 and IPX6), precautions must be taken thatthe sealing material (silicone ring or joint filler) is not damaged and that it is correctly placed in thegroove. Hereafter, the screws in the cover are to be fastened with approx. 1 Nm.
If necessary, replacement sealing is available at LINAK.
The battery compartment is supplied with ventilation that ensures correct and necessary airing of thebattery compartment. This airing must not be blocked or covered as a positive pressure may occur
with risk of explosion.
If the product has been exposed to mechanical overload (lost on the floor, collision/squeezing in theapplication or a powerful stroke), the product must be sent to an authorised workshop for control of
the hermetic separation between the battery and electronics compartment.

Disposal
Lead acid batteries must be disposed of in the same way as car batteries. Alternatively, they may be returned
to LINAK.

LIFT | 24

Information on start-up, deinstallation and operation
Before installation, deinstallation or troubleshooting• Stop the actuator/lifting column.
• Switch off the power supply or pull out the mains plug and pull out the plug to the actuator/liftingcolumn.
• Relieve the actuator/lifting column of any loads, which may be released during the work.

Before start-up• Make sure that the system has been installed as instructed in the relevant product manual.
• The individual parts (actuator/lifting column/hand controls etc.) must be connected before the control box
is connected to the mains.
• Make sure that the mains voltage to be connected to the product or the system is the one stated on thelabel.
• The equipment can be moved freely over the whole working area of the actuator/lifting column.
• Check correct function after mounting.
• The actuator/lifting column must not be loaded in excess of the values indicated in the specifications on
the product label.
• The duty cycle noted on the product label must always be observed. Otherwise there is a risk of productdamage. Exceeding the duty cycle will result in a dramatic reduction of the system lifetime.
• Unless specified otherwise on the product label, the duty cycle is max. 10%, max. 2 minutes in use
followed by 18 minutes not in use.
• The actuator/lifting column system may only be used in an environment corresponding to the IP rating of
the system. LINAK products are marked with the actual IP rating on the label.
• If any individual parts are suspected to be damaged, do not install the parts, but return them forinspection/service.

During operation• Check for unusual sounds and irregular movement. Stop the actuator/lifting column immediately ifanything unusual is observed.
• If the control box makes unusual noises or smells, switch off the mains voltage immediately and theexternal battery, if any.
• Take care that the cables are not damaged.
• Unplug the mains cable on mobile equipment before it is moved.

Standard washing procedure
Reference:

The standard IEC 60601-2-52 newest revision, which includes special demands tofundamental safety and relevant functional characteristics for hospital beds.
The demands for the washing process are described in the German “Maschinelle
Dekontamination” from the organisation AK-BWA (Arbeitskreis Bettgestell- und WagenDekotaminationsanlagen).

Description:

At LINAK, the washing test takes place in an instrument washing machine, which is fitted
and programmed in such a way that it duplicates the process used in a typical hospitalinstallation for the cleaning of beds and other medical equipment.
During the test, the products are exposed to both thermal and chemical effects.
To avoid degreasing of the piston rod, the actuator should be retracted to minimum stroke
and without load before washing.

Preparation:

As plastic materials to a larger or lesser degree change characteristics and shape with timeand climatical exposure, an ageing of the products is carried out first. The conditions forageing are 65 °C +/- 2 °C in normal dry air for 10 days followed by a minimum of 16 hours
at room temperature before the washing process starts.

IPX6 Washable DURA™
Description of washing test
LINAK washable products frequently go through a fully controlled washing test. The LINAK term “IPX6
Washable DURA” signifies that the products conform exclusively to this test.
The “IPX6 Washable DURA” washing test is used to ensure that products that are rated “IPX6 Washable
DURA” comply with the agreed terms and conditions. This washing test differs from the norm EN60601-252 as the products are not aged and each washing cycle is followed by a 30 minute cooling process.
Further information regarding the washing process can be found in the German document “Maschinelle
Dekontamination” from the organisation AK-BWA .
Estimated time
consumption:

Approximately 1 month.

Amount ofsamples:During the development process, the number of tested samples is in accordance with
GP082. During running production, the number of tested samples complies with
UM-41-22-001.

General:The process applies to the IPX6 Washable DURA system.

Test conditions: • The units are not aged.
• Products with adhesive foils must be hardened before ageing.
• The hardening time depends on the used adhesive, but is typically 3 days at 20°C.
• The units are washed with new plugs/cables.
• The cables should be as long as possible and free ends should be shut off.
• Detergent and rinsing aids used:- Detergent 1: Ecolab Sekumatic FRE- Rinsing aid 1: Ecolab Sekumatic FKN (Neutral Rinse Aid).
Test procedure:• The units are placed in the washing machine in the intended mounting direction(in the most sensible direction regarding water penetration, if this is not the same
direction).
• The washing process (see picture below) is repeated 11 times and consists of:- Washing with 0.3 % alkaline detergent for 2 minutes in 70 °C hot water.
(Note: the temperature is measured in the tank, not necessarily at the unit).
- Rinsing with neutral rinsing aid for 20 seconds.
- Drying and cooling for 30 minutes in the open air at approx. 20 °C.
• After 11 cycles, the products are left in a ventilated room for 24 hours. The above
steps are repeated until a total of 250 cycles has been reached.
• Immediately after washing and after further 24 hours, the products are subjected to ahigh voltage test in accordance with UM-31-30-072.
• A population sample of the products is opened for water penetration control
immediately after the washing test.
Accept criteria are in accordance with UM-20-30-002.

Options:

The following options can be used for the test:• The units may be weighed prior to and after the washing test to detect water.
• The bubble test may be used to detect any leakages.
• X-ray may be used to detect any leakages.

How to use the SWL adjustment function
With LIFT40 it is possible to configure software for the use of the standard or advanced SWL function oreven both if needed. When preparing the control box software, it is possible to make preparations for theuse of a standard SWL hand control or the use of a customised hand control.

Safe Working Load
Drive the lifting arm down and connect the special
SWL adjustment hand control.

Add load to the lift corresponding to SWL for thelift type.

Press the 'R' and 'UP' buttons simultaneously andmove the lifting arm up.
If using the standard SWL adjustment, then it
is possible to use the standard SWL adjustment
function without moving the actuator a full stroke,
but it must be ensured that the lifting is carried out
in the area where the lift has the biggest load.

When the actuator stops running, the largest
current value is registered and stored in the control
box SW.
When the current cutoff value is stored, the control
box will provide an audio signal and a flashing LED,
depending on the SW configuration.

LIFT | 44

Recommendations• Always use locking mechanism and O-ring.
• Using the Safe Working Load (SWL) adjustment functionality allows easy current limit setting to help thelift comply with the ISO 10535 requirement.
• The SWL adjustment functionality is recommended to use for channel 1 when adjusting the lifting
actuator to fit the SWL load rating of the lift.
• Based on settings from using the SWL adjustment function, the lift shall not be able to lift more than 1.5
times the maximum load. However, the current limit setting will not stop the actuator at the exact sameload as used for the SWL adjustment. This is due to the fact that an actuator uses less current when its
components have been run in.
• SWL adjustment: When the current limit has been registered, the control box will allow the actuator
to draw the registered current plus an addition of 10%. This ensures that the lift can lift the set load,
however it cannot lift more than 1.5 times of the set load.
• When making new current limit settings, be aware to use a defined set of actuator and control box.
To ensure that a new current limit setting is stored in the control box, either the SWL adjustment function
must be active for at least 2 seconds or the actuator has to run minimum of 20 mm. The actuatorcurrent consumption must be at least 2 A for minimum 2 seconds during the use of the SWL adjustment
function.
• Always use fully charged batteries (as a minimum more than 50% battery capacity) for SWL adjustment
procedures.
• CAL40+: A maximum cutoff value of 12 Amp can be registered (stored).
• The ambient temperature must be approx. 20 ºC.
• The difference between the highest and lowest load should exceed 10% if using the standard SWL
adjustment function.
• To activate the SWL adjustment function, use the special SWL adjustment hand control.
• If an actuator or a control box is replaced, it is necessary to reset the maximum load to ensure the correct
cutoff value for the new system.
• The preset current cutoff value of a specific lift can be reset by means of the SWL adjustment function,
however, this may not be in accordance with EN10535 if done with different loads than the rated load ofthe lift.

How to use the Learn Mode function
With the COL50 it is possible to configure software for the use of standard or advanced Learn Modefunction or even both if needed. When preparing the control box software, it is possible to makepreparations for the use of standard Learn Mode hand control or the use of customised hand control.

Basic condition

Standard Learn Mode

Advanced Learn Mode

To ensure that a new current limit setting
is stored in the control box, the Learn
Mode function must be active for atleast 2 seconds and the actuator current
consumption must be at least 2 Amp during
the use of the Learn Mode function.

To ensure that a new current limit setting
is stored correctly in the control box, thephysical actuator stroke length shall fit
the specified stroke length in the SW.

Drive the lifting arm down and connect the
special Learn Mode hand control.

Drive the lifting arm down and connect
the special Learn Mode hand control.

Add load to the lift corresponding to SWL
for the lift type.

Add load to the lift corresponding to SWL
for the lift type.

Press the 'R' and 'UP' buttons
simultaneously and move the lifting arm up.
If using the standard Learn Mode, then it
is possible to use the standard Learn Modefunction without moving the actuator afull stroke, but it must be ensured that thelifting is carried out in the area where the lift
has the biggest load.

Press the 'R' and 'UP' buttons
simultaneously and move the lifting armup.
For use of advanced Learn Mode, it isrequired and important to run a fullstroke while registering the new current
limit settings. This will cover different loadrequirements over the stroke length.

When the actuator stops running, thelargest current value is registered and stored
in the control box SW.
When the current cut-off value is stored,
the control box will provide an audio signal
and flashing LED, depending on the SW
configuration.

When the actuator stops running, adata set of new current limits has beenregistered and stored in the control box
SW.
The data set contains pairs of values for
current consumption in different stroke
length sections.
When the current cut-off data set isstored, the control box will provide anaudio signal and flashing LED dependingon the SW configuration.

LIFT | 64

Recommendations - learn mode
• Using the Learn Mode functionality allows easy current limit setting to help the lift comply with the ISO
10535 requirement.
• The Learn Mode functionality is recommended to use for channel 1 when adjusting the lifting actuator to
fit the Safe Working Load rating of the lift.
• Based on settings from the Learn Mode function use, the lift shall not be able to lift more than 1.5 times
the maximum load. However, the current limit setting will not stop the actuator at the exact same load
as used for the Learn Mode function. This is due to the fact that an actuator uses less current when its
components have been run in.
• When making new current limit settings, be aware to use a defined set of actuator and control box.
• For Learn Mode, the following conditions must be fulfilled:
When using Standard Learn Mode, the actuator current consumption must be at least 2 Amp and thefunction must either be active for at least 2 seconds or the actuator must run at least 20 mm.
When using Advanced Learn Mode, the actuator stroke length must be specified in the software.
Run the actuator to full stroke length to set new current limits.
• Always use fully charged batteries (as a minimum more than 50% battery capacity) for Learn Mode
procedures.
• A maximum cut-off value of 12 Amp can be registered (stored).
• The ambient temperature must be approx. 20 ºC.
• The difference between the highest and lowest load should exceed 10% if using the Standard Learn
Mode function.
• To activate the Learn Mode function, use the special Learn Mode hand control.
• If an actuator or control box is exchanged, it is necessary to reset the maximum load to ensure the correct
cut-off value for the new system.
• The preset current cut-off value of a specific lift can be reset by means of the Learn Mode function,
however, this may not be in accordance with EN10535 if done with different loads than the rated load ofthe lift.
• There is a risk of false position due to the use of manual lovering/quick release and this may therefore
impact the use of advanced learn mode.

How to use the Learn Mode function
With the COL50 it is possible to configure software for the use of standard or advanced Learn Modefunction or even both if needed. When preparing the control box software, it is possible to makepreparations for the use of standard Learn Mode hand control or the use of customised hand control.

Basic condition

Standard Learn Mode

Advanced Learn Mode

To ensure that a new current limit setting
is stored in the control box, the Learn
Mode function must be active for atleast 2 seconds and the actuator current
consumption must be at least 2 Amp during
the use of the Learn Mode function.

To ensure that a new current limit setting
is stored correctly in the control box, thephysical actuator stroke length shall fit
the specified stroke length in the SW.

Drive the lifting arm down and connect the
special Learn Mode hand control.

Drive the lifting arm down and connect
the special Learn Mode hand control.

Add load to the lift corresponding to SWL
for the lift type.

Add load to the lift corresponding to SWL
for the lift type.

Press the 'R' and 'UP' buttons
simultaneously and move the lifting arm up.
If using the standard Learn Mode, then it
is possible to use the standard Learn Modefunction without moving the actuator afull stroke, but it must be ensured that thelifting is carried out in the area where the lift
has the biggest load.

Press the 'R' and 'UP' buttons
simultaneously and move the lifting armup.
For use of advanced Learn Mode, it isrequired and important to run a fullstroke while registering the new current
limit settings. This will cover different loadrequirements over the stroke length.

When the actuator stops running, thelargest current value is registered and stored
in the control box SW.
When the current cut-off value is stored,
the control box will provide an audio signal
and flashing LED, depending on the SW
configuration.

When the actuator stops running, adata set of new current limits has beenregistered and stored in the control box
SW.
The data set contains pairs of values for
current consumption in different stroke
length sections.
When the current cut-off data set isstored, the control box will provide anaudio signal and flashing LED dependingon the SW configuration.

LIFT | 79

Recommendations - learn mode
• Using the Learn Mode functionality allows easy current limit setting to help the lift comply with the ISO
10535 requirement.
• The Learn Mode functionality is recommended to use for channel 1 when adjusting the lifting actuator to
fit the Safe Working Load rating of the lift.
• Based on settings from the Learn Mode function use, the lift shall not be able to lift more than 1.5 times
the maximum load. However, the current limit setting will not stop the actuator at the exact same load
as used for the Learn Mode function. This is due to the fact that an actuator uses less current when its
components have been run in.
• When making new current limit settings, be aware to use a defined set of actuator and control box.
• For Learn Mode, the following conditions must be fulfilled:
When using Standard Learn Mode, the actuator current consumption must be at least 2 Amp and thefunction must either be active for at least 2 seconds or the actuator must run at least 20 mm.
When using Advanced Learn Mode, the actuator stroke length must be specified in the software.
Run the actuator to full stroke length to set new current limits.
• Always use fully charged batteries (as a minimum more than 50% battery capacity) for Learn Mode
procedures.
• A maximum cut-off value of 12 Amp can be registered (stored).
• The ambient temperature must be approx. 20 ºC.
• The difference between the highest and lowest load should exceed 10% if using the Standard Learn
Mode function.
• To activate the Learn Mode function, use the special Learn Mode hand control.
• If an actuator or control box is exchanged, it is necessary to reset the maximum load to ensure the correct
cut-off value for the new system.
• The preset current cut-off value of a specific lift can be reset by means of the Learn Mode function,
however, this may not be in accordance with EN10535 if done with different loads than the rated load ofthe lift.
• There is a risk of false position due to the use of manual lovering/quick release and this may therefore
impact the use of advanced learn mode.

LIFT50 position for maintaining IP degree212Drawing no. 1039w4000

Recommendations – positioning
LIFT50 only complies with IPX6 when the control box is mounted correctly (see illustration 1 and 2).
LIFT50 can be mounted as shown on the pictures above:• Battery upwards, cable outlets downwards (see illustration 1)• Control box lying on either side, seen from the front (see illustrations 2)
Cables and blind plugs must be inserted correctly in the control box to maintain the IP degree in cleaning
situations.

Cable hanger
COL50 comes with a cable hanger for parking mains cableor hand control when not in use.
The cable hanger can be located on either the left or rightside of the control box.
Place hanger in designated grooves on the back before
mounting the control box on the patient lift steel bracket.
When mounted, the hanger is locked in place.

LIFT | 82

Recommendations• The control buttons of redundant hand controls for lifting and lowering work as normal hand control
buttons.
• The service counter is only active in COL50 when a sufficiently charged BAL50 is mounted.
• Only use original LINAK® mains cables to ensure a proper connection to the internal charger.
• Only use correct LINAK charger (CHL50 or integrated charger in LIFT50).
• To avoid cables from being damaged by pulling, LINAK recommends to make safe cabling.
• Push mains cable fully into correct sockets and make sure that the plugs are completely inserted.
• In combination with BAL50, IPX6 Washable can only be guaranteed if a minimum interval of 24 hours
between each wash is observed.
Motor cable
Always use 6-wire cables. Please note that angled motor cable plugs are required for connection to thecontrol box.
Hot plugging
Removing or adding any OpenBus cables is not allowed when the control box is on power via mains supply
or battery! If necessary anyway, follow this procedure:
1.	 Remove mains or battery and wait 5 seconds
2.	 Mount or dismount the required cables
If this procedure is NOT followed, it may result in a damaged OpenBus driver circuit. The risk of a damaged
circuit increases if the accessory has a high start current (inrush current).

Warnings• Always check correct assembly after mounting and service to ensure that the cable lock is mounted.
(Connectors are usually removed during cleaning)• Always use approved chemicals with the housing as the plastic may show corrosion caused by somechemicals. As a result water may accumulate/gather in housing.
• When using a control box with emergency stop, the stop button must be activated in cleaning situations
to avoid unintended operation of the lift.
• Take special precautions concerning 3rd party interfacing. Please contact LINAK® for further information.
• Make a review of all product specifications before system set-up if the current cut-off limit is higher thanthe maximum allowed actuator current cut-off.
• Make a proper cable installation and inspect regularly for wear and damage to avoid cable interruption
and actuator defects. Defective parts must be replaced.
• After service inspection, the application must be tested for correct functionality before it is put into
operation to avoid actuator plugs being mixed during service. Operators must not be inside entrapmentarea.
• Inspect regularly for wear and damage to avoid electrical failure or system disturbance. Defective parts
must be replaced.
• Make a proper cable installation to avoid short-circuit cables for hand controls and other controls. Regularinspection must be made for wear and damage. Defective parts must be replaced.
• To avoid injury, the battery should not be mounted in (all) transport situations. Use LINAK original
packaging to store battery during transportation.
• Wireless: Be aware that a hand control can run an application that is out of sight.
