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/system 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 LINAK product/system, 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 warranty on all its products. This warranty, however, is 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.
The User Manual has been written based on our present technical knowledge. We are constantly working on
updating the information and we therefore reserve the right to carry out technical modifications.

to install a proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
Description of the LA18 system
Each LA18 unit consists of 1 internal motor and a built-in control box, which makes it a very compact unit. Only the
handset must be paired.
Application of the LA18 system:
Irrespective of the load the Duty cycle: 10% ~ max. 2 min. at continous use followed by 18 min. not in use.
Do not turn on the system if it is not mounted in a bed.
LA18 is a Bluetooth®based system, which means you can use hand controls based on Bluetooth®.
LINAK®offers a range of compatible hand controls: HC05BL, HC10BL, HC20BL, HC30BL and HB10BL. Alternatively an
App can be downloaded to use a smartphone as handset.
You can pair four hand controls to one LA18. You can also pair both hand controls and app controls to the same LA18,
but only 4 controls in total. If you pair more hand controls than the LA18 can manage, the first paired hand control will
be forgotten.
This user manual will give you a detailed description on how to pair your hand controls with your LA18.

LA18 - Start-up (How to pair Bluetooth connection)
It is possible to pair multiple devices to the LA18 via Bluetooth®. See following instructions:
1. Pairing your control
Connect the LA18 to the mains using the SMPS. Now the LA18 will be in pairing mode in 3 minutes and the Under
Bed Light will blink to indicate this.
Take you hand control and press the 2 top buttons at the same time. Now the light will give a long blink and indicate
that the control and the LA18 are paired up. The LA18 will stay in pairing mode and it is possible to connect more
controls using the same procedure as above. Be aware; you have to wait 5 seconds after pairing control 1 until you
can pair control number 2. To get the system out of pairing mode – simply press any button on an already paired
device.
When you operate the LA18 with the two controls you need to wait 5 seconds from operating with control 1 until you
can operate control 2.

2. Pairing your smartphone or tablet
Connect the LA18 to the mains using the SMPS. Now the LA18 will be in pairing mode in 3 minutes and the
Under Bed Light will blink to indicate this.
Enable Bluetooth®on your smartphone/tablet. Open the Bed Control App and a “search bed” page will be
displayed. A list of previously connected LA18 and LA18 in pairing mode will appear. Find the LA18 you wish to
connect on the list and tap to connect. The smartphone/tablet and the LA18 are now paired up and the app will
display the operation page.

3. Pairing another device later
If you wish to connect another control or a smartphone/tablet to the LA18 later, just disconnect, wait 2 minutes
and connect the LA18 to the mains to get it in pairing mode again. See instructions 1 or 2 above to find out how
to pair the device, you want.
The LA18 will be in pairing mode every time the system has been out of power and connects again. To get the system
out of pairing mode – simply press any button on an already paired device.
If you wanted to pair a device, but did not make it in the 3 minutes pairing mode, please disconnect the LA18 from
the mains. Connect the LA18 to the mains again – now the LA18 will be in pairing mode for 3 minutes.

Disposal of LINAK products
As LINAK 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 to disassemble our product into as many fractions as possible at the disposal and try to make it recycable. As
examples of main groups within waste fractions we can mention:
Metal, plastic, cable shoe, combustible waste and collection for recovery.
Some of these main groups can be subdivided, e.g. metal can be divided into iron, stainless steel and aluminium and alloy
steel. Plastic can e.g. be divided into ABS, PA, PE and PP.
As an example of sorting, please find below a list stating in which recycling groups the different components of LINAK
products ought to be placed:
By now almost all our casted plastic parts are supplied with an interior code for plastic type and fibre contents, if any.
Product Components Recycling group
Actuator: Spindle and motor Scrap
Plastic housing Plastic recycling or combustion
Cable Cable scrap or combustion
Handset/Control: Plasic housing Plastic recycling or combustion
PCB Electronics scrap
Batteries Recovery
