1. Introduction
The ALMA desk range has been enriched with design solutions and proposals that respond to
the current needs of flexibility and ergonomics in the modern work environment.
The ability to adjust the height of the working surface ensures maximum fitting of the furniture
to the user. It creates a functional and flexible workspace, while maintaining its unified
aesthetics. The lifting mechanism (motors) is mounted on two vertical supports (lifting units) on
the working desks. The height adjustment of the desk is achieved by selecting the
corresponding keys on the handset. The adjustment range is 640-1290 mm, the maximum
lifting speed is estimated at 35 mm / sec and the lifting capacity is limited to 125 kg.
The following instructions give you a detailed description of the product with reference to the
packaging and the various parts, technical specifications and materials used, as well as its
ergonomic and environmental aspects. Furthermore we provide all the necessary instructions
for the life cycle of the product: from assembly and use to the end of the life cycle. Finally, you
can find a glossary of relevant concepts as well as the assembly plans attached.
Information: Dromeas assumes no liability or warranty for damages and malfunctions
resulting from noncompliance with the operating instructions.

2.4 Optimal desk height
Adjusting the optimum desk height is critical for the right work position. Even with the use of an
ergonomic office chair, it is necessary to get up for a while. The human body benefits more
from the frequent position change. Static loads in the spine are minimized and blood
circulation improves. With an ergonomic working desk in everyday life, we feel more energetic
and creative.
"Movement is part of our nature, only death leads to total rest"
- Blaise Pascal (famous mathematician, physicist and philosopher)
To adjust the optimum desk height when you are sitting, follow these steps:
1. Sit on the office chair
2. The thigh with the tibia must be at least 90 degrees and the seat should be
approximately the same as your knees. If not, adjust your office chair higher or
lower. Your back should always rest on the back of the chair
3. Let your hands loose. Fold the forearms in the office chair or desktop. The keyboard
is located exactly horizontally on your forearms. Otherwise, the height of the office
should be adjusted accordingly upwards or downwards
Our pictures and drawings will help you properly set up your computer's office both in the
sitting position and in the upright position:
2.5 Environmental aspects of the product
DROMEAS, with a sense of responsibility towards the environment and the future generations,
adopts systems / tools (LCA) for the development of its products. The study of such analysis
by the designers of the company and their cooperation with the construction department
contributes to the continuous development and improvement of the products it produces in
order to fully meet the category of green and environmentally friendly products according to
the European regulations:
- Minimal design to minimize the use of raw materials, while maintaining the required stability
and safety in accordance with relevant European and international standards.
- Use of raw materials, especially wood, from controlled sources. This ensures that they
come from sustainable environmental management according to PEFC and FSC standards.
- Exclusive use of materials that are compatible with the latest safety and health
requirements for the end user. Specifically, in this office you use an E1 class surface desk
and an antibacterial powder to cover its metal parts.

Within 5 seconds, press the "M" button again and hold for 2 seconds. The LED display
will change to "555" and then automatically return to the height display. The upper and
lower limits are now removed.
3.5.5 Reset procedure
If the actual height of the desk surface is no longer in line with the height displayed on
the screen or when the control unit is replaced with another, the Reset procedure must
be started in the following sequence:
1. Press and hold the "DOWN" button on the handset until the desk reach the lowest
height
2. Then release the "DOWN" button

2. Press and hold the "DOWN" button again until the LED display reads "RST".
3. Press and hold the “1“ button (about 5 seconds) while the LED flashes "RST" and then
switches to either:
10.1 = Adjust to the default memory location with One-Touch
10.2 = Adjust to the default memory location with Constant-Touch
4. Choose one of the above positions and release the button “1”.

collision sensitivity setting is saved, and your desk is now ready to use.
3.6 Collision tracking
The Alma HT/HC desk is equipped with a modern collision detection system. Thanks to the
advanced protection system, even the smallest office disturbance is recorded when moving up
and down. As a result, the movement of the surface is interrupted immediately when
obstructed and immediately moves towards the opposite direction. This ensures reliable
collision detection and maximum safety when moving the desktop.
WARNING: Risk of injury and damage!

Although the collision tracking system reliably detects even very small unusual movements
of the desk surface, it cannot be 100% guaranteed to avoid injuries to office users or
nearby people. As a result, no liability for body injury or other damages is assumed! Users
are responsible for avoiding injury and other damage during office operations.
3.7 Care and maintenance
When using the working desk for the first time, you may notice oil traces in lifting units. Please
wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Commercial detergents available to clean the office
surfaces can be used. Only use care and cleaning products that are suitable for the respective
materials (wood, plastic, metal). The use of chemical or biological cleansers is not required.
The electric height adjustment mechanism of the desk does not require maintenance. Other
maintenance work must only be carried out by authorized specialist personnel.
A five year warranty is given for good operation. With regard to electrical components, a two-
year warranty is provided.
CAUTION: Moisture may damage the control unit and the control unit!
Keep the controller and control unit away from moisture and water
3.8 Disassembly
Disassembly must be carried out by qualified personnel. For reassembly, refer to section "3.3
Assembly and Installation".
3.9 Storage and transportation
A pallet truck is required to carry the desk. If unpacking is to be done on the floor, protective
material or carpet should be placed on the floor to avoid possible damage to the surface of the
office.
If storage is temporary, consider the maximum ambient temperature or humidity for storage
and transportation (see section 2.3.2).
WARNING: Risk of injury and damage!
When lifting the desk surface or attachments, the fastening screws may crack. When
transporting or moving the work desk, hold it only from the frame.
3.10 Disposal, reuse, recycling
The product is designed to minimize the impact on the environment during its life cycle. All its
parts, which are made of plastic, metal and wood, are recyclable. On the other hand, replacing
parts of the product is easy if there is wear, so the product is not totally rejected.
If the product is ultimately disassembled and disposed of, please:
1. Disconnect the working desk from the power connections
2. Disassemble the working desk in individual parts

3. Separate the resulting parts according to:
a. Reusable parts
b. Group of materials to be discarded (wood, metal, plastic, electrical parts)
