Misc. on the DESKLINE® DL5/DL6 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
Page 11 of 39

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® DL5/DL6 system
Each DESKLINE® DL5/DL6 lifting units is equipped with a motor and parallel/memory drive is ensured by means of software in
the CBD6S (SMPS) that also takes account of 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® DL5/DL6 system:
Irrespective of the load the duty cycle 10% ≈ 2 minutes of continuous use at full load, followed by 18 minutes of
pause stated in the data sheets, must NOT be exceeded as this will result in a superheating of the motor, the brake and thespindle nut. Exceeding the duty cycle will result in a considerable reduction of the life of the system.
The DESKLINE® DL5/DL6 system range contains the following products:• 1 control box CBD6S 200 W or CBD6S 300 W (SMPS - Switch Mode Power Supply)• 1 single DL5 standard / DL5 PLUSTM / DL6 standard / DL6 PLUSTM / DL6 PLUS™ High-speed, or 2 in parallel• 1 exchangeable mains cable• 1 or 2 motor cables• 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).

Installation
Mounting the DL5/DL6
Mounting the motor housing
The motor housing is supplied with six M6 threaded holes for mounting on the top frame.
1. Mount motor housing on top frame using six M6 screws with the following specifications:
Quality: Min. grade 8.8
Length: Max. 10 mm (plus top frame thickness). The screw must not go further than max. 10 mm into the motor housing
2. Fasten bolts thoroughly (torque: max. 7.5 Nm).

Always use six M6 screws for mounting the motor
housing on the top frame

Mounting screws must not go further than max. 10 mm
into the motor housing

Sufficient stability of the desk is only obtained if all six M6 screws are used for mounting the motor housing on the
top frame. Tests with fixing the motor housing using only four M6 screws have proved that the torsional stability ofthe desk this is insufficient.
Alternatively, use the Desk Frame 2 (DF2 columns only) or the Kick & Click™ top frame and avoid screws to get easy desk
assembly.
LINAK recommends using the DL5/DL6 DESKLINE® system in push applications with the motor housing mounted
upwards.

Page 15 of 39

Mounting of the foot part
The DL5/DL6 bottom plate is supplied with four M6 and two M8 threaded holes.
1. Mount column bottom on desk feet using four M6 or two M8 screws with the following specifications:
Quality: Min. grade 8.8
Length: Min. 10 mm (plus foot thickness);Max. 16 mm (plus foot thickness) for M6
Max. 14 mm (plus foot thickness) for M8
2. Fasten screws thoroughly (torque: max. 10 Nm).
The holes in the foot must be sufficiently larger than ø6/ø8 to ensure space for the screw heads to be screwed fully into thefoot.

Mounting crossbar
We have experienced a few cases where customers have designed a desk with a crossbar with a hidden column bracket, where
the bracket has been pulled out when tightening the crossbar. To eliminate this failure, please follow the guidelines below
when constructing a desk.

If the crossbar connection is made with a design where the bracket is hidden inside the crossbar profile, you have to
make sure that you do not pull out the bracket in the column when tightening the screws for the assembly.
The maximum torque for tightening the 2 x M8 screws in the bracket should not exceed 15 Nm.

To avoid damage to the lifting unit there must be at least 1 mm space between the ends of the two M8 screws for themounting bracket and the lifting unit surface. Screws that are too long will come into contact with the inner parts. This will
result in an irregular operation or even damage the lifting unit.
These above-mentioned guidelines also apply to a bench solution.

Requirement: Min. 1 mm space between ends of screws and lifting unit surface
Page 17 of 39

Mounting the tabletop
The sound from the lifting column spreads as vibrations to the tabletop which amplifies the sound.
This can, however, be reduced.
1. Place vibration/shock-absorbing material between tabletop and top frame.

Desks with crossbar
To avoid damage of the lifting unit there must be at least 1 mm space between the ends of the two M8 screws for themounting bracket and the lifting unit surface. Screws that are too long will come into contact with the inner parts. This will
result in an irregular operation or even damage the lifting unit.
These above-mentioned guidelines also apply to a bench solution.

Requirement: Min. 1 mm space between ends of screws and lifting unit surface

Page 18 of 39

Placing the monitor
Placement of a monitor directly above the motor housing may cause malfunction of the monitor.
Magnets inside the motor may interrupt the picture on the monitor depending on the distance and type of monitor. If this is
the case, the problem may be solved by placing an iron plate/tube or another magnetic material, somewhat larger than the
motor housing, between the motor and the tabletop.

Recommended placement of an iron plate/tube or another magnetic material

Bench systems
For creation of a complete bench system, join two assembled desks by use of two cross members.
Mount bench feet on the columns.
In case DS1 devices are installed in the bench system, please note:
If one of the desks is driving up or down and the other desk is being pushed or suddenly moves,
the benching may cause the DS1 to trigger and stop the driving of the desk.

Page 19 of 39

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 DRAWING APPENDIX• 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 20 of 39

Electric connection of the DL5/DL6 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. Do not release the down button until 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.
Non-PIEZO columns (no IID):
The first two times the system moves into end stop in upward direction, the system will detect overload. Afterwards thesystem will only run to approximately 2 mm before end stop.

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 23 of 39

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 a DL6 columns with integrated sensor,
called PIEZO. The option minimises the risk for damages on a desk caused by squeezing or blocking of obstacles in up anddown direction. Examples could be driving down into an office chair or into a container or up into a 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 DL6 columns to have the standard built-in dimension and the standard stroke length. There are no visible
changes to the column.

Do not use the DL6 with PIEZO in combination with a crossbar or a foot construction where you place the column in a
tube welded on the foot.

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 our products to 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:
