Preface
Dear User,
We are delighted that you have chosen a product from LINAK®.
LINAK systems are high-tech products based on many years of experience in the manufacture and development
of actuators, electric control boxes, controls and chargers.
This User Manual does not address the end-user. It is intended as a source of information for the manufacturer
of the equipment or system only, and it will tell you how to install, use and maintain your LINAK electronics. It
is the responsibility of the manufacturer of the end-use product to provide a User Manual where relevant safety
information from this manual is passed on to the end-user.
We are sure that your LINAK product will give you many years of problem-free operation.
Before our products leave the factory they undergo full function and quality testing. Should you nevertheless
experience problems with your systems, you are always welcome to contact your local dealer.
LINAK subsidiaries and some distributors situated all over the world have authorised service centres, which are
always ready to help you.
LINAK provides a limited warranty on its products. This warranty is, however, subject to correct use in
accordance with the specifications, maintenance being done correctly, and any repairs being carried out at a
service centre, which is authorised to repair LINAK products. Changes in installation and use of LINAK products/
systems can affect their operation and durability. The products are not to be opened by unauthorised personnel.
You can review the full terms of the LINAK warranty on the LINAK website www.linak.com/warranty.
The User Manual has been written based on of our present technical knowledge. We are constantly working on
updating the information and we therefore reserve the right to carry out technical modifications.

Before installation, reinstallation or troubleshooting:
• Stop the DB5/DB6
• Switch off the power supply and pull out the mains plug.
• Relieve the DB5/DB6 of any loads, which may be released during the work.
Before start-up:
• Make sure that the system has been installed as instructed in this User Manual.
• Make sure that the voltage at the control box is correct before the system is
connected to the mains.
• System connection. The individual parts must be connected before the control box
is connected to the mains. See the User Manual for LINAK actuators, if necessary.
During operation
• If the control box makes unusual noises or smells switch off the mains voltage
immediately.
• Take care that the cables are not damaged.
• Unplug the mains cable on mobile equipment before it is moved.
• The products must only be used in an environment, which corresponds to their IP
protection.
Misc.
The actuator system has a sound level below 55dB(A) in typical applications.

Misc. on the DESKLINE®DB5/DB6 system
This system is a DESKLINE system developed for desks and for indoor use in offices. Do not use it in industrial kitchens or in
other 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.
Service of double-insulated products:
Class II
A Class II or double insulated electrical appliance is one which has been designed in such a way that it does not require a
safety connection to electrical earth (US: ground).
The basic requirement is that no single failure can result in dangerous voltage becoming exposed so that it might cause an
electric shock and that this is achieved without relying on an earthed metal casing. This is usually achieved at least in part by
having 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
(a square 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.
The cleaners and disinfectants must not be highly alkaline or acidic (pH value 6-8).

Description of the DESKLINE®DB5/DB6 system
Each DESKLINE®DB5/DB6 actuator is equipped with a motor and parallel/memory drive is ensured by means of software in
the CBD4/CBD5/CBD6 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®DB5/DB6 system:
Irrespective of the load the duty cycle 10% ~ 6 min./ hour or max. 2 min. at continuous use stated in the data sheets,
must NOT be exceeded as this will result in a superheating of the motor, the brake and the spindle nut. Exceeding the duty
cycle will result in a dramatic reduction of the life of the system.
The system must not be allowed to collide with and be blocked by an external object. In such a case the working parts of DB5/
DB6 can be damaged. If the system collides with an object e.g. If the desktop is stopped by a window ledge, then the system
should be examined to see as to whether the DB5/DB6 still functions correctly.
The DESKLINE®DB5/DB6 system range contains following products:
• 1 control box CBD4/CBD5/CBD6
• 1 single DB5/DB6 or 2, 3, or 4 parallel
• 1 exchangeable mains cable
• 1, 2, 3, or 4 motor cables
• 1 DP1U/DPF1M (if memory function is required) or 1 DPA/DPB/DP1K/DP1V/DPF1K (if only up/down is required.)

Mounting guidelines for the DESKLINE®DB5 system
Figure 1
(Example of how to mount the DB5)
2 pcs. self
cutting plastic
screw Type K50
It is important that the correct screws are used.
Check that the screws are fitted correctly to ensure a correct function to prevent the guidance from coming apart
when the desktop is lifted.
Max. 10 mm
DB5/DB6
motor housing
The motor housing is supplied with 6 pcs. M6 threaded holes meant for mounting on the desk frame. We advise you to fasten
the desk frame by means of 6 pcs. M6 screws of a good quality and a suitable length, which must not go further into the
motor housing than max.10 mm. The thrust moment must not exceed 7.5 Nm.
