Installation
Ensure that the CBD6S and/or T-splitter are fixed securely to the tabletop for optimal DS1 performance.
The DS1 reacts to angle changes from its original position. Thus, the DS1 mounting direction is
not important.
If the DS1 is removed from the system or is no longer mounted correctly, the desk panel will show error
94 at the first activation. At the next activation, however, the desk will drive as intended.
The DS1 can be installed in any direction as tilting is detected in three planes.
X-axisY-axisSystem with Control Box CBD6S
1. Plug the DS1 into port A1 on the CBD6S.

Ensure that the cable mounted in port A2 is fastened thoroughly
and cannot touch the DS1 while the desk is running.

Page 12 of 20

Z-axisDaisy chain
If the DS1 is to be used on large desks, it can be connected in daisy chain with up to four DS1 devices.
The up to four DS1 devices can be randomly connected to up to four Control Boxes CBD6S (software SW03003051
version 1.00) and positioned at optimal places.
A maximum of four DS1 devices can be connected in one system.

Examples:Four DS1 connected to one CBD6S

Four DS1 connected to four CBD6S

System with IC columns
1. Mount the T-splitter on the tabletop using two M4.5 x 25 screws.
2. Plug the DS1 into the port on the single-port side of the T-splitter.

Always use the port on the single-port side of the T-splitter for the DS1 toensure that the DS1 is not undesirably triggered by movement of the serial
cable or the cable for the desk panel.

3. Plug the serial cable into the RJ45 socket on the IC column.

4. Plug the serial cable into a port on the double-port side of the T-splitter.

5. Plug the cable for the desk panel into the other port on the double-port side of the T-splitter.

Page 15 of 20

Method of operation
The DS1 operates on the gyroscope principle detecting tilting of the desk. If the desk starts tilting while driving
up or down, the DS1 reacts to an angle change. If the angle change is larger than 0.7° per second, the DS1
immediately stops the desk and drives it in the opposite direction. This return drive automatically continues for
maximum 4 seconds (approximately 40 mm). The return drive is independent of the user’s interaction with thecontrol but will never run farther than the run causing the collision.
The original angle of the DS1 is updated each time the desk is operated after the control has been in sleep
mode (approximately 10 seconds after operation). The gyroscope will allow a slight change in angle (below 0.7°
per second), for example if a heavy load is placed on one side of the desk forcing the desk to lean slightly, but
if the absolute tilt exceeds 10° compared to the original angle of the DS1, the desk will stop and drive in the
opposite direction.
The desk construction may influence the DS1 function:• On a desk with a very fixed frame, the force required for the desk to tilt is bigger, thus collision(e.g. with soft objects) may not cause the desk to tilt at all.
• On a desk with a very loose frame, the tabletop may tilt easily and cause undesired triggering,even when no collision is actually happening.
The Anti-Collision function is not activated if the collision happens:• during the initialisation procedure• within the first 0.8 seconds of desk panel activation (ramp-up time)
The DS1 is very sensitive and may cause false triggering if not mounted correctly. To achieve the best possible
performance of the DS1, install the DS1 on the tabletop via either a CBD6S or a T-splitter.
In case of false triggering, please check this list:• Make sure that the control box or T-splitter is fixed securely to the table.
• Make sure the cables connected next to the DS1 in the control box or T-splitter are fastened thoroughly
and cannot touch the DS1.
• If the desk is unstable, it may result in false triggering. Make sure, by adjusting the screws under thefeet correctly, that the desk is stable and cannot tilt back and forth.
• Make sure that no objects such as cables or furniture under the desk can stop the driving up or down of the desk.
• If none of the above helps:- unplug the DS1- wait 10 seconds- plug the DS1 back inPage 16 of 20

Disposal of LINAK products

As our customers often ask us how our products can be disposed of or scrapped we have prepared this guidance
that enables 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 and plastic can be divided into ABS/PA/PE/PP.
As an example, the table below breaks down the different components in LINAK products to various recyclinggroups:Main groups of disposal
