Misc. on the DESKLINE® system
This system is a DESKLINE system developed for desks and for indoor use in offices. Do not use it in industrial kitchens or inother enviroments that have to be cleaned with aggressive detergents.
Do not bolt the legs to the floor so that free movement is prevented. This could cause serious damage to the legs in fault
situations.
Warranty
This DESKLINE product is subject to warranty pursuant to the terms of LINAK DESKLINE Warranty Paper, available on the LINAK
website www.linak.com/warranty.
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.
Cleaning the desk panel
Clean your desk panel with a soft damp cloth. Universal cleaning detergents may be used.

For disinfection of the desk panel, use a 70 percent isopropyl alcohol either as a wipe or add a small amount to a soft cloth.

The desk panel is not a sealed unit and there are electronics inside it.
If liquids or moisture enter an opening, the PCB may be damaged, and the desk panel ruined.
Thus:• Avoid moisture penetrating any openings as this may damage the PCB inside the desk panel• Avoid spraying the cleaning agent or disinfectant directly on the desk panel as moisture may
penetrate openings damaging the PCB inside the desk panel• Cleaning agents and disinfectants must not be highly alkaline or acidic (pH value must be 6 to 8),
and they must not contain bleach or chlorine• Do not use hand sanitizer gel as a cleaning agent

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 electric earth connection (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 (asquare 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.

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
CBD6S (SMPS) that also takes account of an oblique 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 10% ~ 1 minute continuous use at full load, followed by 9 minutes pause
stated in the data sheets, must NOT be exceeded as this will result in a superheating of the motor and the control box.
Exceeding the duty cycle will result in a dramatic reduction of the life of the system.
The DB/DL system range contains following products:• 1 control box CBD6S 200 W or CBD6S 300 W (SMPS - Switch Mode Power Supply)• DL12, DL14, DL14 PLUSTM, DB14 or DL17 (1 - 4)
• 1 exchangeable mains cable• Motor cables (1 - 4)
• DP1U/DPF1M/DPG1M/DPG1B (if memory function is required)
DP1C/DPT/DPF1C/DPG1C (if memory function and display is required) or
DPA/DPB/DPH/DP1K/DP1V/DPF1K/DPG1K (if only up/down is required) or DPF1D (if display is required).

The DB14 gives the possibility of synchronous drive of the middle profile. To make sure that the profiles are in theright place, you have to ensure that both the hollow and the solid spindle are driven into end position. For detailed
information on how to mount the middle tube of your column, please contact DESKLINE Technical Support at
LINAK A/S.
Mounting the bottom
At the bottom of the DB14 the inner spindle should be mounted by means of a 22 teeth spline profile and an M5 screw in thebottom of the spindle. Max. torque: 2.3 Nm.
The bottom plate should have a groove for the locking ring.

Bottom plate with groove and spline

A cut-out in the inner profile is required for cable relief.

Note:
From the factory, the DB14 is delivered with the hollow spindle driven into end position. Please observe that thesolid spindle may roll out during transportation/handling, but it must be rolled back to end position before mounting
in the profile.
As the desktop amplifies the sound,we advise you to place a vibration/shock absorbing material between thedesktop and the desk frame

Do not drive the DB14 to the outer end position before mounting. This will damage the DB.

Installation of CBD6S (SMPS)
Do not pack the CBD6S in heat insulating material.
Place the CBD6S so it can emit heat through its surface to the surroundings.

Mounting the CBD6S
1. Plug the mains cable into the CBD6S.
2. Place the mains cable in the groove for cable relief.

3. If needed, place the other cables in the grooves to optimise the desk design and manage the system cables.

4. Mount the CBD6S using two screws with a head diameter of 10 mm (8 to 10 mm can be used).
5. Fasten the mounting screws (max. torque 1 Nm).
Notes:• If the control box is mounted in a top frame bar with the width of the motor housing, it can be mounted with one screw only
• The surface to which the control box is mounted should have an evenness better than ±0.5 mm• The control box can also be mounted using one or two M6 nuts and screw counterparts, see Dimensional drawings• The mains plug must be accessible when the CBD6S is mounted so that the supply to the CBD6S can be disconnected
if replacement is required.

For mounting and operation of the desk panel, please see the separate user manual for desk panels.

Page 23 of 42

Electric connection of the DB/DL system
The control box must only be connected to the voltage stated on the label.

It is important to ensure that the motor cables are fixed, but not tightened, near the control box and near the columns.
Fix the cable to the tabletop using a clip observing the 30 mm minimum bending radius (R).

Connecting the system
1. Connect the first DL/DB to socket 1 next to port A2 on the control box using the 6-pin plug on the motor cable.
Channel 1 is the channel closest to the control port.
2. Connect further DL/DB to sockets 2, 3 and 4 in sequence.
3. Connect the desk panel to control port A1 or control port A2.
4. Check that the voltage stated on the label corresponds to the mains power.
If not, do not plug in mains cable.
5. Plug in the mains cable.
6. Switch on the power.

Initialisation of the DESKLINE® parallel system
Downward direction
The DESKLINE system is initialised by pressing the down button once and holding it down until the lifting column runs into
end stop. Release the button and press down again within 10 seconds. The desk will run further in and then run approx. 5mm out again. Only release the down button when the movement has stopped completely.
If the button is released before the sequence is completed, the initialisation is interrupted and must be started again
from the beginning.

Approx. 5 mm

Upward direction
PIEZO columns (IID):
No initialisation in upward direction required.

Page 25 of 42

Anti-collision
When using height-adjustable desks there is always a risk of driving the desk into an object – solid or soft. This could cause
damage to the desk or the object or – if the desk tilts – damage to computers, monitors and other objects placed on or close
to the desk.

There are various ways of protecting the desk from being damaged when driven into such objects. This feature is called ananti-collision system. To a certain extent, this feature also increases the personal safety, but it does not comply with thelegislation covering personal safety.
The way to minimise the damage to a desk is fast detection of a collision with an object followed by reverse driving of the desk.
LINAK® offers various anti-collision solutions:• Desk Sensor™ 1 (Gyroscope technology)• PIEZO™ (Piezo-electric sensor)• Anti-Collision™ (Software)

Page 26 of 42

Desk Sensor™ 1

The Desk Sensor™ 1 (DS1) is a small, compact adapter to be plugged into the control box or, in IC systems, into the mastercolumn. The DS1 is based on gyroscope-technology, and it detects even little tilting of the desk when the desk is driving up or
down. Upon detected tilting, the system stops and drives in the opposite direction to avoid collision and damage to the deskor the object. The DS1 can detect both hard and soft obstacles, and it works with both 2-part and 3-part columns.
Optionally, the DS1 can also be combined with the well-known PIEZO™ technology ensuring an even higher level of anticollision.

PIEZO™

The PIEZO-electric sensor is an electronic sensor integrated in the column, which reacts on load changes. If the desk drives
into an obstacle, the load changes. This load change is picked up by the PIEZO-electric sensor and the signal is sent to thecontrol box.
For optimised safety against squeezing and blocking on a desk, LINAK has developed DL12, DL14 and DL17 columns withintegrated sensor, called PIEZO. The option minimises the risk for damages on a desk caused by squeezing or blocking of
obstacles in up and down direction. Examples could be driving down into an office chair or into a container or up intoa windowsill. To a certain extent, the system also increases the personal safety, but it does not comply with legislation
describing personal safety.
PIEZO allows the DL12, DL14 and DL17 columns to have the standard built-in dimension and the standard stroke length.
There are no visible changes to the column.

Page 27 of 42

Anti-CollisionTM
This function is an option for the standard CBD6S (SMPS) control box.
Enabling the anti-collision
To enable the anti-collision function a little plug called a dongle must be mounted in one of the 2 control ports. The function is
only active when the dongle is mounted. – If you remove the dongle again you disable the function.
Method of operation
When the lifting columns are running the CBD6S (SMPS) monitors the current consumption on each channel using a special
algorithm. If the current consumption on one channel is increased more than a predefined slope, a collision is assumed, andall channels are stopped immediately, and all lifting columns will start to run in the opposite direction (approx. 50 mm). This
return drive is done automatically and continues with or without any control key pressed (for max. 2.5 sec.).
The anti-collision sensitivity is different in upward and downward direction. In downward direction the software is less sensitiveand requires a higher load to activate the function. Thus, the Anti-Collision™ is not recommended for applications with lightweight desks.
The Anti-Collision function is not activated if the collision happens:• during the initialisation procedure• within the first second of desk panel activation (ramp-up time) or within the first second after the desk panel
has been released (ramp-down time)• in downward direction and the load at the point of collision is too low• over too long time, e.g., if the collision is with a soft object

Disposal of LINAK product
As LINAK customers often ask us how our products can be disposed or scrapped we have prepared this guide that enables aclassification to different waste fractions for recycling or combustion.
Guide
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 materials 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:
