DANGER
Danger to life caused by electric current!
Touching conductive parts causes a direct danger to life. Damage
to insulation or individual components can cause danger to life.
Therefore:
• In the event of damage to insulation, switch o the power supply
immediately and have the parts repaired.
• Work on the electrical system must be carried out only by profes-
sional electricians.
• De-energize the system for all work on the electrical system.
• Before maintenance, cleaning or repair work, switch o the power
supply and perform lockout procedures so it cannot be turned on
again.
• Do not bridge fuses or make them ineective. When changing
fuses, make sure you use the correct amperage.
• Keep moisture away from conductive parts. If you do not, this can
cause short circuit.
WARNING
Danger of injury caused by moving components!
Rotating and/or linearly moving components can cause severe
injury.
Therefore:
Do not work on or place any of your body, hands, or arms near
moving components.
2.5 Safety equipment
Integration of an emergency-stop system (for
certain applications)
The device is only intended for installation into an an appli-
cation system It does not have its own operating control ele-
ments and does not have an independent emergency-stop-
function.
Install the device so that it is part of an emergency shut-o
system and can be stopped if necessary.

Telesmart TXG
8
The emergency shut-o system has to be connected in such
a way that a disruption of the power supply or the reactiva-
tion of the power supply after a power disruption cannot
cause a hazardous situation for persons and objects.
The emergency shut-o systems must always be freely
accessible.
Integration of an emergency-stop system (for
certain applications)
The device is only intended for installation into an applica-
tion or system It does not have its own operating control ele-
ments and does not have an independent patient release
mechanism.
If required by the application, a seperate provision for pa-
tient release has to be installed to allow safe release of a pa-
tient in case of emergency or equipment failure.
To increase more safety, anti-pinching
protection can also be connected (optional).
NOTE
The processor decides which application require the installation of
the following safety systems:
• Emergency shut-o system
• Patient release system
• Anti-pinching protection
NOTE
The TXG telescopic pillar does not contain displaying operational
conditions. For end applications in medical field it is mandatory to
ensure displaying operational conditions.
The following safety features may have been
installed:
• The TXG telescopic pillar is tted with a thermoswitch. The
thermoswitch integrated into the transformer switches the
actuator o if the temperature becomes excessive. For
TXG10 a thermal protection must be provided by the used
control unit.
• End limit switches are installed to provide a safe current
cut o when the end position of the device is reached. In
case of failure of the end limit switches, an additional limit
switch prevents the device from exceeding its intended
stroke.
2.6 Safeguard against
restart
DANGER
Life-threatening situation through unauthorized restart!
For work in hazard zones, there is a risk that the power supply is
turned on without prior authorization. This presents a lifethreatening
situation for people in the hazard zone.
Therefore:
• Follow the information concerning the safeguarding against
re-starting of the power supply in the chapters of this operating
manual.
• Always follow the process to safeguard against a restart as de-
scribed below.
Protect TXG (AC version) against a restart.
Pull the power line plug out of the power outlet.
Protect TXG1 (DC version) against a restart.

and power supply which is used as an
individual lifting column.
Master Actuator with integrated control unit
and power supply and possible
connection for a further actuator.
Slave Actuator without integrated control unit
and power supply. Can be used in
combination with a master actuator or a
separate control unit.
Master-slave Two actuators, the master performing
the control function and handling the
power supply for the slave. (No parallel

4.0 Structure and function
A DC motor controls a threaded spindle via a bevel gear.
A threaded nut moves up and down on the spindle. This nut
is secured to the push tube and thereby generates a forward
motion. The telescopic tubes are inserted and retracted de-
pending on the direction of the motor.
Where the TXG is equipped with a mains connection (stand-
alone and master), the mains voltage is transformed to 24 V
and rectied. The slave actuator is a 24 V DC unit.
Control unit (stand-alone and master)
The DC motor is fed via an integrated control unit.
• The simple control PCB contains a relay circuit which con-
trols the running direction of the actuators.
• Where actuators are equipped with the “Parallel running”
and/or “Memory” option, a microprocessor takes charge
of control and regulation operations. These actuators are
equipped in the factory with an encoder for position detec-
tion. If a slave actuator is to be connected, it must also be
equipped with an encoder. These actuators are also
equipped with a “soft start” function, i.e. the actuators
start up smoothly, without any jerks. The “Memory” option
decelerates the actuators using a “soft stop” before they
reach the saved position.
The TXG is to a great extend protected against failures.
However a rst failure safety can’t be guaranteed because of
unvorseeable defects, for example a control Element, which
can lead to slow uncontroled movements.
WARNING
First failure safety of the assembled equipment has to be verified in
the particular application to prevent danger for life and limb.
Terminal-position shutdown
The stroke is limited by the integrated limit switches. If the
actuator moves beyond one of these switches (in the case of
a malfunction), an additional limit switch comes into play.
The actuator power circuit is interrupted and the actuator
can then no longer be moved (⮑8 Maintenance, page 23).
NOTE
Additional differences between the TXG pillars can be found in the
appendix (⮑ 11 Appendix, page 30).
4.2.1 Requirements for third party
control (Mandatory in medical
applications)
These requirements are applicable for TXG10 types (stand
alone). Control units which are not approved for TXG by
Ewellix are treated as third party controls.
• Separated from supply mains by 2 MOPP
• Over current cut o
• “Puch-to-run” operation (recommended): The actuator op-
erates as long as the switch is pressed
• Displaying operational conditions

Then t a cable tie 3in order to secure the wires. The cable
tie should be secured as close to the clamp as possible.
Each wire (L and N on the electric circuits), is protected by a
fuse. If one or both of these fuses are tripped out, replace-
ment of the actuator will be necessary.
It is possible to order the actuator without internal fuse. In
this case, the customer is responsible for adding the correct
electrical protection (two fuses, max. 6,3 AT).
NOTE
When using your own mains cables, comply with the following
specification:
H0W-FVDE 0,75 mm2, wires 5-6 mm stripped.

Run the actuators using directional buttons and on the
control device in counter- load direction a single time as far
as the terminal position (= reference point). Hold the button
depressed until all actuators have reached the terminal posi-
tion and have come to a stop .
Initialisation run for memory function
Run each actuator individually using directional buttons
and on the control device in counter-load direction a
single time as far as the terminal position (=reference point).
Hold the button depressed until the actuator has reached
the terminal position and has come to a stop.
